alignment and balance?

It seems that the dealer wants to do alignment and wheel balance every year on my RDX.
I check the tire wear, and steering, and there's no need for alignment.
I also feel no vibrations on the wheels so no need for balance.
Is there an official recommended timeframe for alignment and balance for the RDX?
I have 25K now on my 07 RDX.

There is no need to do an alignment unless you are showing some excessive tire wear, the vehicle pulls in one direction, or the steering if off center. The wheel balance also only if you are getting vibrations.

Since you don't have any of these issues you don't need to get either done.

My dealer pushed for the same thing... i didn't go along with it simply cause nothing was wrong about my alignment, but trust me, they get a lot of little fish...

They wanted to charge $99.95 for an alignment. Imagine the $$$ they make...
