Wheel Alignment in progress

At Alignment Centre, our professional technicians are experts in wheel alignment. This can be offered to both cars and vans. Often, problems occur on a vehicle’s front two wheels as these are the two which control the direction of the vehicle when driving. However, it’s not uncommon for all four wheels to become misaligned. This can be caused by general wear and tear of the vehicle, or uneven surfaces such as potholes and speed bumps.

Why Four Wheel Alignment?

Reduced Tire Wear

Improper alignment is a major cause of premature tire wear. Over the years, a properly aligned vehicle can add thousands of miles to tire life.

Better Gas Mileage

Gas mileage increases as rolling resistance decreases. Total alignment sets all four wheel parallel which, along with proper inflation, minimizes rolling resistance.

Improved Handling

Does your car pull to one side? Does the steering wheel vibrate? Do you constantly have to move the steering wheel to keep your car traveling straight ahead? Many handling problems can be corrected by total alignment. With all the system components aligned properly, road shock is more efficiently absorbed for a smoother ride.

Safer Driving

A suspension system inspection is part of our alignment procedure. This allows us to spot worn parts before they cause costly problems.

When to get your wheel alignment service?

If you’re unsure whether your vehicle needs a wheel alignment service, there are a few ways in which you can inspect for yourself:

  • If there is any uneven wear on your tyres
  • If your steering pulls to one side while you’re driving
  • Excessive vibration while driving, even on a flat or smooth surface

A. Have your car checked if you notice:

  • Excessive or uneven tire wear.
  • Steering wheel pulls to the left or right.
  • Feeling of looseness or wandering.
  • Steering wheel vibration or shimmy.
  • Steering wheel is not centered when car is moving straight ahead.

Q. How often should I have my car aligned?

A. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation noted in your owner’s manual. But, as a general rule, have your vehicle’s tires checked every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.

Not having your wheels properly aligned can also put a strain on other parts of your vehicle. Things such as your vehicle’s suspension, steering and many other components can be affected.
