What is an alignment?

A front end alignment is one part of regular car maintenance. Over time, your wheels can slowly shift from their original position. Rough roads, fender benders, and regular driving can all contribute to misalignment, so it's important to get the wheels back on track. During a front end alignment, our technicians use a machine that can calculate your vehicle's alignment specifications and adjust them back to their original position. 

Why is alignment important?

As you can imagine, driving your vehicle with its wheels out of alignment can cause extra wear and tear. Tires often take the brunt of misalignment, but it can also affect other parts of your vehicle - the steering column, handling, and even your fuel economy. Keeping your wheels in line will keep you safer and more focused on the road without worrying about damage to your vehicle while helping your tires last longer.

signs you need front end alignment

How can you tell if you need your wheels aligned? There are several signs to look out for. Uneven wear on your tires - that is, more or less tread on areas of each individual tire or between tires - is one of the most obvious signs. You should also pay attention to the handling of your vehicle. If it pulls more to one side, your steering wheel is off center, or you feel vibrations, those can all be signs of misaligned wheels.
