For a 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class driven around Sudbury and the Greater Boston area, alignment intervals depend on road conditions and driving style. Seasonal potholes and curb strikes can knock caster, camber, or toe out of spec. If you notice changes in steering feel or tire wear between visits, schedule an earlier check. You can schedule service online anytime.
