Why Is Mazda 3 Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Mazda 3’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment 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 Mazda intended. When your suspension is aligned to Mazda’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2018 Mazda 3, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Mazda’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get Mazda 3 Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your Mazda 3 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 also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2018 Mazda 3: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your 3 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Costs for Mazda 3 Alignment Services

Mazda 3 wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might 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, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2018 Mazda 3 wheel alignment estimate.

Mazda 3 Alignment Questions

  • When should I get 2018 Mazda 3 alignment check? 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 3 alignment is off.
  • Are there road conditions that can hurt my Mazda 3 alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • How can I protect new Mazda 3 tires? Protect your investment with a wheel alignment. No one wants to replace tires sooner than necessary. Help your new tires wear evenly from day one, with a wheel alignment.
  • When should you get a wheel alignment for your 3? Check your 3 owner's manual for Mazda's recommended interval. It's generally a good idea to check your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first.
  • Do you need an alignment with new 3 tires? While you don’t necessarily need to get an alignment when putting new tires on your 3, it’s still a good idea. Ensuring your wheels are properly aligned can help support optimal handling, tire wear, and fuel efficiency.

  • Can an alignment solve my 3’s crooked steering wheel? A wheel alignment is usually what it takes to fix a crooked 3 steering wheel.
