You should have the vehicle alignment checked every 10,000 miles, or based on the intervals outlined in you owner's manual. If you feel your vehicle pulling to one side or have notice unusual tire wear, then you should have the alignment checked immediately. Most garages will inspect your vehicle and check the alignment for free. Have anything out of adjustment corrected at that time.
Tire balancing is only done after a tire has been remove from a rim and reinstalled or replaced with a new tire. But if you feel a vibration while driving than one of your tires may need to be checked for imbalanced (the balance weights can fall off). Having the tire rebalanced is usually not a free service.
