Essential for Your Safety and Your Wallet.
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend checking wheel alignment at least once a year. During our free wheel alignment check, we’ll measure your vehicle’s wheel angles to ensure they’re perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. This helps maximize tire life and optimize vehicle handling.
What is this service?
Wheel alignment is the process of measuring and adjusting the angles of your vehicle’s wheels to ensure they’re perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. During our free alignment check, we’ll inspect your tires, suspension, and steering components for damage or wear, which can contribute to alignment problems. If we find any issues, we can provide a wheel alignment on-site. We’ll correct the wheel angles to meet factory specifications and adjust the front wheels or all four wheels as needed. Additional parts like camber or caster shims, cam kits, and other external adjustment devices may be necessary on some vehicles and may require extra details and labor charges. This service typically takes about an hour.
Why is the service recommended?
Several factors can cause wheel alignment issues, including hitting a curb or normal road wear. When this happens, your vehicle may pull to one side or another. Extended driving with a misaligned car can lead to premature and uneven tire wear. Our free wheel alignment check and service can help ensure optimal tire wear and vehicle handling.
How does our service help?
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for both your safety and your wallet. It prevents your vehicle from pulling or wandering on the road, resulting in a smoother ride. Additionally, it helps maintain proper tire tread wear, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars on early tire replacement due to premature wear.
How can I avoid this service?
Avoiding potholes and curbs can help maintain proper wheel alignment, but the regular bumps and bangs of everyday driving can eventually disrupt it. Over time, driving a vehicle out of alignment can lead to increased tire wear, reduced fuel economy, and compromised handling. Therefore, it’s advisable to have your wheel alignment checked based on the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended service interval, which should align with your vehicle’s operating conditions and driving habits.
