What Can I Expect with Mercedes-Benz S500 Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz S500's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has 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 Mercedes-Benz intended. When the system is aligned to Mercedes-Benz specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, 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 1999 Mercedes-Benz S500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Mercedes-Benz recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Mercedes-Benz S500

It’s wise to have your Mercedes-Benz S500 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on 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 1999 Mercedes-Benz S500: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your S500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Mercedes-Benz S500 Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Mercedes-Benz S500 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, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.

  • Does getting new S500 tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your S500, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.
