What Can I Expect with Dodge Caliber Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Dodge Caliber’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Dodge intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Dodge specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2012 Dodge Caliber, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Dodge. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Dodge Caliber

It’s wise to have your Dodge Caliber alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2012 Dodge Caliber: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Caliber dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Dodge Caliber?

Let’s talk numbers: Dodge Caliber wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2012 Dodge Caliber wheel alignment estimate.
