Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Have a baseline alignment check every 6,000–10,000 miles or at every oil change if you drive in mixed conditions.
• Check alignment after hitting a curb, pothole, or after suspension work to prevent uneven tire wear.
• Regular checks extend tire life, preserve fuel economy, and avoid costly suspension damage down the road.
• At Coggin Ford Jacksonville we recommend following manufacturer intervals and documentation — warranty repairs require service at a certified dealership.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

• Most four wheel alignments are completed within 60–90 minutes under normal conditions.
• If corrective repairs are needed (tie rods, control arms, or shocks), total time may increase; we’ll provide a clear estimate before work begins.
• Our technicians run a post-alignment road test and digital printout to confirm specs, so you leave with measurable results.
• Choose Coggin Ford Jacksonville for efficient service and factory-trained techs who work with your vehicle’s exact specifications.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Look for steering-wheel pull to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, and a crooked steering wheel when driving straight.
• Listen for unusual vibration or feel wandering at highway speeds—these are common signs of misalignment.
• Noticeable decline in fuel economy or frequent steering corrections are also indicators to book an alignment check.
• If you see any of these symptoms, visit Coggin Ford Jacksonville for a precise inspection and documented alignment report.
