Reply to comment by xoomax in ELI5: What’s car alignment? I read that cars should have it done regularly as part of their service. by LittleLostSadDeer
You might notice your alignment is poor if the car is pulling a bit one way when your steering wheel is at rest, or if the tire wear is uneven. Otherwise it's probably not worth paying for the alignment service in my opinion.

The difficulty with this is that most roads are curved or have a slight incline crosswise, to help shed rainwater. This also causes cars to never drive straight even when the wheels are properly aligned. A better indicator of misalignment is tire tread wear patterns.
