Advice about car alignment..

I bought my 2004 TL in dec 2005 with 11000 miles from Maroone in South Florida. My car is flashing "Service Due now" at 15600 miles and I have an appt for 06/07 at Rickcase Acura and they say I need to recheck the alignment.
Do I have to even though the car drives fine?

No. Another money making scheme.

Also check out the numerous threads on how much to pay and what to get done at your service appointment. With the number of miles you have you should only need an oil and filter change, around $25-30, and possibly a tire rotation, around $30. They should check all the stuff listed for free when they do the oil change.

If possible, do it all yourself. As for any alignment concerns, use two criteria: does the car pull to either side or have problems tracking, and/or do the tire exhibit other than normal wear patterns.
