How often should I get an alignment on my 2014 Chevrolet Sonic in Murray, UT?
Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles is a solid alignment interval for a 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, sooner after suspension work or a hard pothole hit.
Utah’s frost heaves, canyon curves, and construction zones can nudge toe and camber out of spec more quickly. If you install new tires or steering/suspension parts, align immediately to protect tread life. For convenience, you can schedule service online and check our service specials before you arrive.
