I've just joined the forum. I bought a 2008 Aveo about two months ago. It looks like it got sort of rough treatment from the previous owners, but I managed to rescue it just in time.
Now it's time for an alignment. One shop told me that only front-wheel alignment is necessary. Another place (Canadian Tire) told me they automatically do four-wheel alignment.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Do I need the four-wheel alignment or will two-wheel alignment suffice?

Thanks for replying. The place I've found charges $52 for 2-wheel and $65 for four-wheel, it's $15 more for four-wheel alignment. So wouldn't I be better off just going for the full four-wheel instead of getting just the front wheels aligned and then finding out that the back wheels are still off and then going back and having to pay another alignment to get the back wheels right? This is a 2008 Aveo that I got on a repo deal. Looks like the previous owner really abused the hell out of it and I was lucky to rescue it before it got turned into a total wreck. Anyway, I made an appointment to get an alignment tomorrow morning. Let me know if you or anyone else has any opinion abou two-wheel vs four-wheel alignment. Thanks, --scott try the 2 wheel first. i recall hearing the aveos having a bad front allighment. i have not had this problem yet. let me kno how it goes. got any pics posted somewhere of ur ride? hit me up peace

Four... And here is a thing, I saw my friend did tire alignment at shop in front of me in 8 min on all 4 tires, its such an easy job when you get the equipment, I got no idea why they even charge 60$-80$ for it... I am 95% confident when you get to any shop 10min before they are closing and offer them CASH they will give you a good deal.
