Steering alignment service recommended

[tony50]

Got this error message yesterday, "Steering alignment service recommended." When I got my 2024 Model Y a few months ago, it was pulling to the right. I had Tesla do an alignment and everything seemed fine. I got the error yesterday and by the end of the day the message had gone away. I made an appointment with Tesla, but they can't see it until July 20th. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good alignment shop in the Sacramento area? I've been told to take it to a performance shop. But honestly I'm not sure what that means. Everyone I've contacted said they don't really feel comfortable doing an alignment on a Tesla, or they can do the front alignment but not the rear wheel alignment. I don't understand that, I thought an alignment was an alignment.

Go on your local Tesla facebook group and ask around. Here, we have a number of local shops that are willing to work on Teslas

I would also recommend checking for diagnostics messages using Service Mode.

Also the Service Mode provides an interesting Steering Angle display I guess to be use when doing an alignment,
as the Steering wheel need to be centered before making an alignment, and not the otherway around.
