Achieve safer, smoother, and more efficient driving with correct wheel alignment.
What Wheel Alignment Means and Why It Matters
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. When your wheels are properly aligned, it helps your tires wear evenly, improves handling, and contributes to a safer, smoother ride.
Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and a less comfortable ride, making regular alignment checks a vital part of car maintenance.
Symptoms of Misaligned Wheels
Catching misalignment early can save you from expensive repairs. Look out for these signs:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Look for signs of uneven wear on the inner or outer edges of your tires.
- Steering Wheel Pulling: A steering wheel that pulls to one side while centered indicates a possible alignment problem.
- Vibrations: You may experience vibrations in your steering wheel or car due to misalignment.
- Misaligned Steering Wheel: When your steering wheel doesn’t center properly after a turn, it's a sign of misalignment.
Advantages of Correct Wheel Alignment
Investing in proper wheel alignment offers several advantages:
- Improved Tire Lifespan: Even alignment prevents uneven tire wear, saving you money on replacements.
- Better Fuel Economy: Proper alignment reduces rolling resistance, improving gas mileage.
- Smoother Ride Quality: A properly aligned vehicle offers a smoother ride with fewer vibrations and less pulling.
- Enhanced Driving Safety: Alignment improves your vehicle's stability and braking, making driving safer.

- Assessing and adjusting the camber, caster, and toe of your wheels
