Default How often I need to do alignment in my car

How often I need to do alignment in my car. Because Firestone has lifetime alignment deal for $130. So is it worth it? Is there anyway I can do it by my self?

Thanks

I'd say go for it. Once you get any more than 3 alignments, that's started going into "free alignments".

I'd align the car every time I changed any suspension stuff or every 6 months if I were you. Also, you can get it in the ballpark yourself, but without special guages, no, you can't really do it very accurately.

Jump on it. MAKE sure that you get a printout so that you can make sure that they did the alignment properly.
