Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Check alignment when you buy new tires, after hitting a curb or pothole, or every 12 months / 12,000 miles as a general guideline.
• Driving habits and road conditions can require more frequent checks; severe roads or winter driving often mean sooner inspections.
• Regular alignments preserve even tire wear, help fuel economy, and prevent suspension wear — lowering long-term ownership costs.
• Warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid; scheduling at Herb Chambers BMW of Boston protects coverage and assures factory-trained technicians handle the job.
