What Can I Expect with Fiat 500 Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Fiat 500’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Fiat intended them to. When the system is aligned to Fiat specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. As a result, you get several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2012 Fiat 500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Fiat’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Fiat 500

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Fiat 500 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2012 Fiat 500: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your 500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Costs for Fiat 500 Alignment Services

Let’s talk numbers: Fiat 500 wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2012 Fiat 500 wheel alignment estimate.

Answers to Fiat 500 Alignment Questions

  • Where's the alignment light on my 2012 Fiat 500? Don't wait for an 'alignment light' on your dashboard. There isn't one. Getting a professional alignment check is the easiest way to know if your 500 alignment is off.
  • How can I avoid knocking my Fiat 500 out of alignment? When it’s safe to do so, avoid driving over potholes or hitting curbs. These road obstacles can wreak havoc on your wheel alignment, as can wear and tear from rough road conditions.
  • How can I protect new Fiat 500 tires? Did you just have new tires installed on your 500? A wheel alignment can help them wear more evenly from the get-go.
  • How often should you get a wheel alignment for your 500? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your 500 owner’s manual for Fiat's exact recommended schedule.
  • Do you need an alignment with new 500 tires? You likely aren't required to get an alignment when you put new tires on your 500, but it's a super smart idea! An alignment can help ensure optimal tire wear, fuel efficiency, and handling. Still, you should reference your 500 owner’s manual for what’s recommended.
