Achieve safer, smoother, and more efficient driving with correct wheel alignment.
What Is Wheel Alignment and Why Is It Important?
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. Proper alignment ensures that your tires wear evenly, your car handles well, and your driving experience remains safe and smooth.
Misalignment of wheels can cause uneven tire wear, reduce fuel efficiency, and lead to a rougher ride, which is why alignment checks are essential for maintaining your car.
How to Spot Misalignment in Your Vehicle
Recognizing the signs of misalignment early can prevent costly repairs. Common symptoms include:
- Irregular Tire Wear: Look for signs of uneven 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: Misaligned wheels can cause vibrations in the steering wheel or throughout the car.
- Steering Wheel Not Centered: When your steering wheel doesn’t center properly after a turn, it's a sign of misalignment.

Proper wheel alignment brings multiple benefits, including:
- Longer Tire Life: Proper alignment helps ensure even tire wear, extending their lifespan and saving you money.
- Better Fuel Economy: Correct wheel alignment helps lower rolling resistance, which improves your car’s fuel efficiency.
