Should a car with 13k miles need an alignment?
Never his a pothole or anything. Noticed the wheel is cocked when going strait and pulls a little if you let go. Some say its the slope of the roads for drainage that causes a car to pull.

Milage has nothing to do with alignment... you should get one at least once a year, there is no milage interval. I usually align my car about 2 times a year because I drive it so much and so hard.
If you drive in the right lane and the car pulls right, and it pulls to the left in the left lane, then its the crown in the road. If it pulls one way all the time, it needs to be aligned.

Rep Power: 0 its definately the slope of the road....i used to freak out about this too....but its definately good to have an alignment done once a year and twice if u drive hardcore! if u really want a "mileage interval," 30,000 is about a good distance to go b4 u need a tuning!

Rep Power: 0 not usually....cuz by the time they get the car on the alignment measurer, 80% of the owrk is done, so they usually charge full price (like 60-75 bucks)...but that may just be the honda dealer and the shops around me....call around!
