How often should I get an alignment on my 2012 Lexus GX 460?

Every 2–3 years or around 30,000 miles is a good rule for a 2012 Lexus GX 460, and sooner after suspension work or a major pothole impact.

This interval helps keep your GX 460 tracking straight and your tires wearing evenly in everyday Sharon and Greater Boston driving. If you’ve replaced tie rods, control arms, or struts, align the vehicle immediately to lock in factory geometry. You can schedule service with Herb Chambers Lexus of Sharon when it’s time.
