Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Routine guidance: have a four wheel alignment checked at least once a year or every 10,000–12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
• Inspect sooner after impact: get an alignment after hitting potholes, curbs, or following suspension repairs to prevent accelerated tire wear.
• New tires or steering issues: schedule an alignment when you install new tires or notice pull, vibration, or handling changes.
• Dealer advantage: Mercedes‑Benz of Tampa uses factory procedures so alignments done here help protect resale value and maintain any manufacturer coverage.

Why is an alignment important for a 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE and what are the benefits?

• Preserves even tire wear and extends tire life, which is especially important for the higher-weight construction of many electric sedans.
• Improves handling, steering precision, and driver confidence — essential for a premium midsize luxury vehicle like the 2023 Mercedes‑Benz EQE.
• Maximizes efficiency and electric range by reducing rolling resistance caused by misalignment, delivering both immediate and long-term savings.
• Maintains safety and value: properly aligned suspension reduces strain on components and helps protect factory warranties when service is performed at a certified dealership.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Vehicle pulls to one side or you must constantly correct the steering wheel to stay straight.
• Uneven or rapid tire wear patterns, visible without specialized tools, indicate misalignment.
• Off-center steering wheel at highway speeds, vibration, or loose steering feel are symptoms that should prompt an alignment check.
• For EV owners: a noticeable drop in expected range or increased road noise can also be related to alignment and rolling-resistance issues.
