Keeping Your Vehicle Alignment in position will help save you money in the long run!

What is a Wheel Alignment? Great question! A vehicle’s alignment is important for safety, fuel efficiency, and overall vehicle performance!

What’s involved in an alignment and why are they beneficial? Let’s drive down this road of knowledge…

Plainly put: The Suspension is the connecting element between your Car and the road. If your Alignment is out our trained Technicians will make adjustments to the Steering & Suspension system. Those adjustments bring your Car back in line with the Vehicle’s Factory Specifications.

That’s The What…click ‘learn more’ to get The Why!

• • Tire life: Uneven Tire Wear can shorten the lifespan of your Tires, causing you to have to replace them sooner. We want you to get the most out of your investment…and Tires are definitely an investment!
• • Safety: Your Vehicle’s Alignment affects your car's handling. If it’s out of whack it can make it harder to control in emergencies.
• • Fuel efficiency: When your Wheels aren't properly aligned, your Car needs to work harder to drive in a straight line, which reduces gas mileage.
• • Fewer auto repairs: YES! We actually WANT to help you save money! Even a little jolt from a bump or pothole could throw your Car's Alignment off and cause way more damage to your Tires and Suspension. Spending a small amount of money on a Wheel Alignment can prevent bigger repairs down the road (Pun intended!).
• • Comfort: When your Vehicle is out of Alignment, it can also cause vibrations and make for a bumpy ride.

Here are some common signs that your car may need its Alignment Checked:

• • Your car pulls to one side or another while driving.
• • There is a Vibration In The Steering Wheel.
• • Your Tire Treads are wearing unevenly.
• • Your Steering wheel isn't centered while driving straight.
