Workshop Insider - Wheel Alignment

What is a Wheel Alignment?

Wheel Alignment refers to the adjustment of a vehicle's suspension. A proper wheel alignment will allow the tires to make contact with the road evenly, and extends the tire life. A proper aligned vehicle will also have a smoother ride, better handling and fuel economy!

When do I need a alignment?

We recommend doing a wheel alignment every time you change your tires, otherwise it is recommended to check the alignment at least every 2 years. You might notice some common symtoms below if you have a mis-aligned vehicle. These symtoms are as follow, but not limited to:

  • Uneven tire wear
  • Vehicle does not drive straight
  • Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight
  • Squealing tires

If you experience one or more symtoms, we recommend scheduling a service appointment with us and our experienced Service Advisor will assist you with your vehicle's problem!
