Guys, need some advice.  Would like to check when actually is a wheel balancing and alignment needed.  My car is just 1 year old and service centre asking me to do balancing and alignment.  Or is it that while testing the car service guy hit a kerb or something?

yes necessary.
keeps the tyres wearing evenly and the steering straight and true.
so it saves you money and keeps you safe.
it should be done at every car service or when you notice the steering is not true.
i do mine at every 10k km.
it only costs rm60 for wheels service balance alignment and tyre rotation. it is an easy job that the SC can do.

So is it that the premium brands such as bmw, Merc, volvo service centre will do it every 10k or 20k and charge us for it if not covered under their free service package?

odd question.
if you can afford a premium brand like conti, why even ask if you have to pay? you just pay.

Yes, absolutely not on one car but two cars for decade(s) .
Besides, I know exactly almost all the ill effects of unbalanced tyres , or out-of-alignment steering system, or absence of tyre rotations .

How do you know if you've never experienced them?
