Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Routine interval: generally every 12 months or every 12,000–15,000 miles is recommended for the 2023 Nissan Maxima to maintain optimal handling and tire life.
• Event-driven checks: after hitting a curb or pothole, after suspension repairs, or when installing new tires, schedule an alignment promptly to avoid accelerated wear.
• Manufacturer guidance: follow Nissan’s maintenance schedule; factory-trained technicians at Courtesy Nissan of Tampa perform alignments to OEM specs, protecting warranties that require certified-dealer service for covered repairs.
• Cost savings: regular alignments prevent uneven tire wear and reduce fuel waste, delivering both immediate and long-term savings compared with replacing tires or suspension components prematurely.
