Wheel Alignment & Tire Balancing

State-of-the-art wheel alignment

Proper wheel alignment is important for both the life of your tires and the safety of your vehicle. Misalignment causes your tires to wear out prematurely and negatively impacts your gas mileage. In a wheel alignment, we'll adjust your vehicle's suspension so that your tires contact the road at the proper angle to correct handling and resolve safety issues.

When do you need a wheel alignment performed?

If you experience any of the issues listed below, please bring your car in and let us evaluate it.

What is tire balancing and rotation?

Different from wheel alignment, tire balancing identifies and corrects any weight imbalances in the tire/wheel. Our technicians use a high-speed balancing machine to test each tire at its optimal inflation. Proper tire balance improves vehicle handling and prevents steering pulls, vibrations and shimmying.

Tire rotation means moving the tires from one position to another to compensate for different weights on the front and rear axles and helps tread wear evenly.

When should you have your tires rotated?

Reasons to rotate your tires vary, but they all help your tires last longer and your vehicle to drive better.

  • If your vehicle is experiencing vibrations, shimmying or isn’t driving smoothly
  • Every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer guidelines
  • During times of seasonal temperature changes such as transitioning from winter to spring
  • If you have a front-wheel drive vehicle, they need rotation more often
  • When experiencing uneven air pressure across tires

Get It Straight: Car Alignment Is Everything

If your car pulls to one side or your tires look unusually smooth on one edge, it can mean your car is out of alignment. There are also some signs of misalignment that are harder to spot.
