How do I know if I need an alignment?
Common signs of misaligned wheels include your vehicle pulling to one side (drifting), uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked or tilted steering wheel while driving straight, or steering wheel vibration. We recommend checking alignment annually or after hitting a pothole or curb. Proper alignment extends tire life by up to 12,000 miles and improves fuel efficiency.
What does wheel alignment do?
Wheel alignment, often referred to as tire alignment, involves adjusting a car's suspension system, which connects the vehicle to its wheels. Contrary to popular belief, it focuses on suspension, not the tires or wheels. A properly done alignment prevents your car from drifting to the right or left and can enhance your vehicle's handling while eliminating abnormal vibrations on the road.
How often should I have my alignment checked?
It's generally advisable to have your vehicle's wheel alignment checked annually or during every other oil change. As a rough estimate, many tire experts suggest around 6,000 miles as a guideline. However, keep in mind that newer cars might require alignment checks less often, while older vehicles might need more frequent alignments. Therefore, consider the 6,000-mile figure as a general reference.
What does an alignment service include?
