Ensure smooth, safe, and efficient driving with proper wheel alignment.
What Is Wheel Alignment and Why Is It Important?
Wheel alignment involves adjusting your car’s wheels to the manufacturer’s recommended angles. Proper alignment ensures that your tires wear evenly, your car handles well, and your driving experience remains safe and smooth.
Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and a less comfortable ride, making regular alignment checks a vital part of car maintenance.
Signs That Your Wheels Are Misaligned
Catching misalignment early can save you from expensive repairs. Look out for these signs:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Check for excessive wear on the inner or outer edges of your tires.
- Steering Wheel Pulling: If your car drifts to one side even when the steering wheel is centered, alignment may be the issue.
- Steering Wheel Vibrations: You may experience vibrations in your steering wheel or car due to misalignment.
- Steering Wheel Not Centered: When your steering wheel doesn’t center properly after a turn, it's a sign of misalignment.

- Longer Tire Life: Even alignment prevents uneven tire wear, saving you money on replacements.
- Better Fuel Economy: Proper alignment reduces rolling resistance, improving gas mileage.
- Smoother Driving Experience: With proper alignment, your car will drive more smoothly, without pulling or vibrations.
