Hi
I have had no problem with uneven tyre wear but now have a voucher with Mag and Turbo for a free wheel alignment.
Do you advise to get it rechecked or is there a possiblilty of them making alterations to make it not as well aligned as it seems to be now?

Many thanks Russell

I understand your question - it's the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" argument. However, a proper wheel alignment on modern equipment will provide an electronic readout before and after, so it's unlikely they can make alterations that put the alignment out, as it will show up on the print-out. Many manufacturers recommend checking the alignment once a year just to make sure nothing has got slightly out of alignment that is not yet evident. It's not only tyres, but steering and suspension components that may be compromised.
Ultimately, it's over to you, but if the alignment hasn't been checked for a while, I doubt it will cause any harm.
