Wheel Alignments
Ever notice that when you’re driving straight ahead, your steering wheel is turned a bit to the side? And notice how your car pulls to one side when you take your hands off the wheel? Maybe you feel vibration when you get up over forty? And what about uneven tire wear? Your car is trying to tell you it needs a wheel alignment.
Our computerized wheel alignment system can help you reduce tire wear, improve handling on the road and cut fuel costs.
When you drive in, we will put state-of-the-art sensors on each wheel, measure the alignment angles, and compare them against your model’s specifications in the computer memory. Then we will adjust to those specifications. When you drive out, you’ll leave with a vehicle that performs better, safer and more economically.
What It Does For Your Vehicle:
Extend Tire Life
Have you ever noticed, after driving on new tires for a while, that one or two wear out before the others? The most common cause of unusual tire wear is an improper alignment. Over the years, a properly aligned vehicle saves hundreds of dollars in tire wear.
Spot Problems Early
A suspension system inspection is an inherent part of the wheel alignment operation. This gives the mechanic the opportunity to spot worn parts that affect vehicle alignment. It also gives him or her an opportunity to spot small problems before they become bigger, costly ones.
Secure a Better Ride
Alignments help the front and rear suspension systems of your vehicle perform their jobs properly. With all the system components in proper relation, road shock is efficiently absorbed so your vehicle is more stable and you benefit from a smoother ride.
Stretch Fuel Mileage
Fuel mileage increases as rolling resistance decreases. A proper wheel alignment sets all four wheels parallel which, in turn, assures minimum rolling resistance. This, plus proper tire inflation, provides top efficiency for maximum mileage.
Improve Handling
Does your vehicle pull to one side? Does the steering wheel vibrate? Are you constantly moving the steering wheel to keep your vehicle traveling straight ahead? These, and other handling problems, can generally be associated with incorrect wheel alignment.
Ensure Safe Driving
Periodic wheel alignment provides you with a vehicle that handles properly and, more importantly, provides an opportunity for your mechanic to inspect the suspension system for defective parts. In some ways, the safe driving aspect may be the most important benefit of wheel alignment. |
