Q1. Is wheel alignment necessary if my car is not pulling to right or left?  
  
  
  
 Q2. Does it matter if alignment is done at a auto shop instead of the dealer?

If the tires are exhibiting wear irregularities, handling is otherwise not what it was when the car was new, youo live with us in the land of potholes, or it hasn’t been done for some years, it’s due. Alignment is an inspection of the condition of the chassis as well as an alignment of the tires.

No, it does not matter. It only matters for those souls driving Bugattis and Ferarri Enzos.
