Automotive Alignment

Wheel alignment is often overlooked by busy car owners until serious tire damage has been done. One wheel can be knocked out of alignment from the rest by hitting a curb or pothole.

This will cause your tires will wear out very quickly and will need to be replaced prematurely. It could also lead to suspension damage. And, worn suspension or steering components can lead to alignment problems.

The biggest issue is safety. When your wheels are out of alignment, the vehicle will pull to one side, which could lead to an accident. When you’re out of alignment, come see us. To care for our customers and keep up with changing technology we have invested in a state-of-the-art alignment machine.

Signs of alignment problems are: Your car pulls to one side your steering wheel may not be centered when you’re going straight, or you see the edges of one or more tires rapidly wearing down. This is when you need to come see us. 

If your vehicle has been in an accident that involved one of your wheels, you should get your alignment checked. A big hit can knock things out of alignment. Worn steering or suspension components can also lead to alignment problems. This is why your vehicle manufacturer recommends periodic alignment checks.

If your owner’s manual doesn’t specify, once a year might be appropriate or check with your service advisor they will also be able to tell you if your vehicle requires a four wheel alignment or if just the front wheels can be aligned.

One thing’s for sure: the cost of the alignment is cheaper than having to buy a couple of new tires!

Until Next Time…
