How do I know if my vehicle needs an alignment?
Signs include your vehicle drifting to one side, uneven tire wear, or a steering wheel that feels off-center or vibrates during driving.
What happens during an alignment check?
Our technicians use advanced equipment to measure wheel angles (camber, toe, and caster) and adjust them to match your vehicle’s factory specifications for optimal performance.
How long does an alignment take?
Most alignment checks and adjustments take about 30-60 minutes, depending on the vehicle and any additional issues found during the inspection.
Can bad alignment damage my vehicle?
Yes, misalignment can cause uneven tire wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and strain on suspension components, potentially leading to costly repairs if ignored.
How can I tell if my tires are wearing unevenly?
Inspect your tires for uneven tread patterns, such as more wear on one side. You may also notice that your vehicle pulls or handles poorly.
What factors lead to alignment problems?
Common causes include hitting potholes, worn suspension components, or normal wear and tear from driving. Even minor impacts, like curbs, can affect alignment.
How often should I check my vehicle’s alignment?
We recommend checking your alignment every 12-24 months or after significant impacts, like hitting a deep pothole. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for specific guidance.
Can I perform an alignment myself?
While you can visually inspect for signs of misalignment, professional equipment and expertise are needed for accurate adjustments to ensure safety and precision.
What is included in an alignment report?
An alignment report details measurements like camber, toe, and caster, showing how your wheels compare to the manufacturer’s recommended settings.
