How often should I get an alignment on my 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in?

Every 2–3 years or around 30,000 miles is a sensible alignment interval for a 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in, with sooner checks after suspension work or a hard impact.

This hybrid hatchback benefits from periodic alignment to preserve tire life and stable steering. Driving across Auburn and Worcester with daily commuting, curbing, and rough surfaces can nudge angles out of spec.
