Wheel Alignment Service

It’s recommended to have your alignment checked every six months or around every 6,000 miles. However, an alignment is only necessary if your vehicle shows signs of misalignment. While it’s not required every time you install new tires, it’s highly recommended to check your alignment to protect your investment and ensure even tire wear.

Wheel alignment adjustments focus on three key angles: camber, toe, and caster.

• Camber refers to the inward or outward tilt of the tires when viewed from the front.
  
• Toe describes whether the tires point inward or outward when viewed from above.
  
• Caster is the angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle.
  

Proper adjustment of these angles ensures stable handling and even tire wear.

Yes, tire shops are fully equipped to perform professional wheel alignments. In many cases, alignment checks may also be included during routine maintenance services. Having your alignment inspected regularly helps maintain proper vehicle performance and safety.

Normal driving has minimal impact on alignment, but certain conditions can cause it to shift. Hitting curbs, potholes, or being involved in an accident can affect alignment. Worn components such as shocks, struts, or tires can also contribute. If your vehicle feels off-center after any of these situations, it’s important to have it checked.

No, wheel alignment and tire balancing are different services. Alignment ensures your tires are positioned correctly and moving in the same direction, while tire balancing corrects uneven weight distribution in the tire and wheel assembly. If you notice vibrations while driving, it may indicate a balancing issue rather than alignment.
