Your vehicle drives better when all the wheels are pointed in the same direction. Wheel alignment services keep your vehicle moving in a straight line, by precisely aligning the front and rear wheels. All the wheels on your vehicle should point forward, but over time, one or more will lose alignment. When this happens, your vehicle will start to pull in one direction and create premature wear on your tires and suspension. Basic wheel alignment service should be done regularly. Things like driving on rough terrain or hitting a curb can cause your vehicle to need wheel alignment service more often.

How are Wheel Alignment Services Performed?

Wheel alignment involves the adjustment of a vehicle's suspension. Your vehicle is hooked up to an alignment machine that is linked to a computer, which then takes precise measurements. Adjustments will be made to the various suspension angles known as toe, thrust, camber, and caster. The wheel alignment machine will adjust these angles so that they are set to vehicle manufacturer specifications.
