Free Alignment?

Does Mercedes give free alignment for the first 12k miles or something?

I accidentally curbed my rear right rim yesterday morning, i was going like 15-20mph on a right turn but, i guess i turned too close, and the rear hit the curb.. DOHH!!!

hehe anyhoo, part of my right rear rim did get curbed a little, but thats not a big issue to me, im more worried about the suspension and the alignment of my wheels..

so i called FJ mercedes today, since i work right across the st. from them and they said that mercedes gives free alignment for the first 12k miles? is that true?

i only have 8k miles. and i drive a 2005 c230 kompressor. Got it like 4 months ago? Anyone here of this free alignment service? or would the person i talked to be mixing that up with the free tire rotation? cuz i cant even rotate my tires. since the c230 comes with staggerd wheels?

anyone know of this "Free" service?

First 12,000 miles or a year, whichever comes first.

Policy is that they will align / balance wheels/tires if you ecpirance problems. They probably won't do this for you free if you tell them your curbed your wheel however.
