9 common questions answered
How often should I get an alignment on my 2018 FIAT 124 Spider?
Plan an alignment every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles for a 2018 FIAT 124 Spider.
That interval helps preserve crisp steering and even tire wear on this rear-wheel-drive convertible. In Central Massachusetts, frost heaves and potholes can accelerate misalignment, so check sooner after a hard impact or suspension work. Our Millbury team can inspect and advise whether adjustment is needed now or later. Book a convenient time online and review current service specials.

- Sooner after a pothole/curb strike or if the car pulls
