How often should I get an alignment on my 2018 Lexus IS 300?
Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles is a solid interval for a 2018 Lexus IS 300, sooner after pothole impacts or suspension work.
In Sharon and Greater Boston, road construction and rough pavement can nudge alignment out of spec over time. Staying proactive helps your 2018 Lexus IS 300 maintain even tire wear and responsive steering. If you’ve replaced tires, struts, or control arms, align right after the repair. You can schedule service online any time.

Four clear signs: uneven tire wear, the car pulls, the steering wheel sits off-center, or vibration at highway speeds.
