Why Is Mercedes-Benz S500 Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Mercedes-Benz S500’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Mercedes-Benz specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Mercedes-Benz. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz S500 Wheel Alignment

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Mercedes-Benz S500 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your S500 if your wheel alignment needs attention.

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. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, 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. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500 wheel alignment estimate.
