Advanced Alignment Technology and Precision Adjustments

Our modern alignment machine provides precise measurements of all four wheels simultaneously, ensuring accurate four wheel alignment that meets your vehicle’s exact manufacturer specifications. The alignment process begins with a comprehensive inspection of steering components and suspension components, as worn parts can prevent proper alignment and cause premature tire wear. Our technicians examine ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, and struts to identify any underlying issues that could affect alignment stability. During the alignment procedure, we carefully adjust toe settings to ensure both front wheels point in the same direction, while camber adjustment corrects the inward or outward tilt of your wheels when viewed from the front. Caster angle adjustments improve steering stability and help your steering wheel return to center after turns, while thrust angle corrections ensure your rear wheels track properly behind the front wheels. We operate Monday – Friday: 7:30AM – 5:00PM and remain closed Weekends Closed, providing ample time for thorough alignment services. Our digital alignment reports include before and after measurements, giving you clear documentation of the improvements made to your vehicle’s alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wheel Alignment

How often should I get my wheel alignment checked? Most manufacturers recommend checking wheel alignment every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or whenever you notice signs like vehicle pulling or uneven tire wear.

What causes wheels to go out of alignment? Common causes include hitting potholes, curbs, or road debris, normal wear of suspension components, and accidents that affect steering or suspension systems.

Can I drive with misaligned wheels? While you can drive short distances, misaligned wheels cause rapid tire wear, reduced fuel economy, and can make your vehicle harder to control in emergency situations.

How long does a wheel alignment take? A standard four wheel alignment typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your vehicle’s condition and whether any adjustments to suspension components are needed.

Will alignment fix my steering wheel vibration? Alignment can reduce some vibrations, but persistent steering wheel vibration often indicates the need for tire balancing or other mechanical issues requiring additional diagnosis.
