Limited Warranty - Service Adjustemnt

I read in my warranty manual that theres a 12 month or 12000mile service adjustment warranty which covers minor repairs, such as wheel balance and alignment. does this mean I can get a wheel alignment for free?

Nightowl,
You messed up your alignment and it was free? I nailed a curb and had to get my alignment done and they charged me. What's up?

Is that a one time thing, or can u go back and get the alignment done as often as you feel necessary?

If you hit a curb and it's entirely obvious, of course you're going to pay...you twit...that's not warranty...it's bad driving.

If it's an out-of-spec thing (ie: the steering wheel's not quite centred or it pulls to one side), then yes, you'll get a free alignment...once.
Woah....twit? I think not. It just sounded like he got them to do it for free when he'd obviously screwed up.

I know I hit the curb and had to pay...that's why I was flabbergasted when he said,

"came in handy when i messed up my alinment (sic) when i first got my car".

So, please, keep your twit remarks to yourself.

Cool.. I noticed my wheel pulls a bit to one side so I think i'll have to get them to check it out!

I wonder if it would work after you lower the vehicle or get new rims/tires? Probably not, but couldn't hurt to ask.
