Achieve safer, smoother, and more efficient driving with correct wheel alignment.
What Is Wheel Alignment and Why Is It Important?
Wheel alignment involves adjusting your car’s wheels to the manufacturer’s recommended angles. Correct wheel alignment ensures your tires last longer, improves vehicle handling, and provides a safer driving experience.
Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and a less comfortable ride, making regular alignment checks a vital part of car maintenance.
Signs That Your Wheels Are Misaligned
Identifying the early symptoms of misalignment can help avoid expensive fixes. Keep an eye out for these common signs:
- Tires Wearing Unevenly: Look for signs of uneven wear on the inner or outer edges of your tires.
- Drifting Steering Wheel: A steering wheel that pulls to one side while centered indicates a possible alignment problem.
- 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.

- Improved Tire Lifespan: Even alignment prevents uneven tire wear, saving you money on replacements.
- Better Fuel Economy: Correct wheel alignment helps lower rolling resistance, which improves your car’s fuel efficiency.
