how long does a wheel alignment take

A wheel alignment typically takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the type of alignment and the vehicle. A two-wheel (front-end) alignment usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, while a more comprehensive four- wheel alignment can take 1 to 2 hours. Simple front wheel alignments may take about 30 minutes, and more complex alignments, especially on vehicles with advanced suspension systems, can take up to an hour or more. The total time may also vary based on the condition of the vehicle's suspension components and the technician's expertise.
