Alignment Service
When your vehicle alignment is not proportioned correctly, two issues may occur:
- Driving becomes more expensive
- Driving becomes more dangerous
Driving without proper alignment costs you money. Not only does flawed alignment decrease gas mileage and tire life, but it also adds stress to your vehicle’s steering equipment and structure. Ideally, your vehicle’s wheels should run perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. Adjusting these wheel angles will bring your vehicle back into proper alignment.
Driving without proper alignment puts you at risk. An out-of-alignment car pulls and drifts away from a straight road and may cause an accident. Excessive tire wear—another result of bad car alignment—leads to tire blow-outs and poor traction, which also causes accidents. Bring in your vehicle and our alignment experts will make sure your vehicle drives smoothly and safely.
Alignment Timeline
Some professionals say you should get your alignment fixed every 10,000 miles, while others say you should have it done once a year. There are other times you may need an alignment:
- After an accident
- After hitting a curb or pothole
- As part of other scheduled maintenance
Your vehicle may also need an alignment as part of getting your rear brakes serviced. If your mechanic recommends getting an alignment done after inspecting the vehicle during scheduled maintenance, don’t wait for the 10,000 miles to roll around. Get the work done and save your car some additional wear and your wallet additional expenses.
