Why is an alignment important for a 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and what are the benefits?

• Proper alignment ensures optimal tire contact with the road, preserving handling, braking performance, and all-wheel-drive balance.
• Benefits include longer tire life, improved fuel economy, safer steering response, and reduced wear on suspension components.

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Generally, check alignment annually or every 12,000 miles, and always after impact events like potholes or curb strikes.
• Regular inspections at service intervals prevent progressive wear and detect issues before they affect safety or fuel economy.
• Owners of compact luxury AWD vehicles like the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class benefit from more frequent checks because AWD drivetrains can amplify alignment-related wear.
