How often should I get an alignment on my 2017 Toyota Prius v?

Every 2–3 years or about every 30,000 miles is a good interval for a 2017 Toyota Prius v, and anytime after suspension work or a major pothole/curb hit.

This cadence helps maintain even tire wear and straight tracking on your Prius v. If you’ve replaced tie rods, control arms, or struts, schedule an alignment to lock in the new geometry.
