Don't compromise of safety with poor wheel alignment

Poor alignment can effect the way your vehicle handles, it's steering and braking, creating uneven wear on tyres reducing the lifespan, leading to unnecessary tyre replacement costs.

Why is wheel alignment important?

Wheel alignment commonly known as tracking is part of your vehicles routine maintenance and consists of adjusting the geometry of wheels to the correct position as dictated by the vehicle manufacturer specifications.  Wheels can become misaligned through uneven road surfaces, pot holes and often curb impacts.

Vehicle Handing

Often creating an unsafe wandering or dragging sensation driving experience, resulting in maintaining a tight grip on your steering wheel just to keep the vehicle driving straight.

Uneven Tyre Wear

Mis-alignment creates uneven tyre wear which if not attended to can be very dangerous effecting how a vehicle handles and brakes, compromising on the road safety of yourself and others.

Tyres
Costly

Uneven tyre wear is costly, reducing the longevity of your tyres at a faster rate, increasing the change frequency unnecessarily.

Fuel Consumption

Even tyre wear around the circumference of the tyre reduces rolling resistance of the wheel against the road surface. Uneven wear increases the rolling resistance and can reduce your fuel consumption.

Laser Wheel Alignment Technology

Using our state of the art laser 4-wheel alignment technology we can confidently measure the geometry of your tyres, adjust the angle and direction of your wheels to the correct specification (toe, caster and camber). 

Once finished you will receive your wheel alignment results and confirmation printout showing the measurements before and after alignment for peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's some answers to the most frequently asked questions by our customers

How do I know if I need wheel alignment done?

There are three easy ways to tell if your vehicle may need a wheel alignment:
•  The steering wheel isn’t straight when the vehicle is driving in a straight line.
•  The vehicle wanders or pulls to one side while driving.
•  Uneven tyre wear, usually on the inside or outside edges of the tyre.
•  If you notice one or more of these conditions, your vehicle will likely require a wheel alignment.

Why do I need wheel alignment doing?

Over time, the wheel alignment on your vehicle can change. This can be caused by impacts, such as hitting potholes, or by work being carried out on your vehicle. It can also result from normal wear to suspension components. As parts wear, they move slightly, which can affect the alignment.

I had it done last year, why does it need doing again?

As the vehicle is used, you may find the alignment gradually shifts and falls outside of tolerance. When the alignment is off, it can cause several issues—primarily increased and uneven tyre wear, which in the long run may lead to more frequent tyre replacements.

Will a wheel alignment fix my vehicles vibration?

Very rarely will poor wheel alignment cause a vibration. Vibrations are usually caused by poor wheel balance or unevenly worn tyres. In some very rare circumstances, extreme misalignment can contribute to the issue. If you have been experiencing a vibration for a while, it’s definitely worth getting it checked.

Will a wheel alignment make my steering wheel straight down the road?

Yes. When a vehicle’s alignment is off, it can cause the steering wheel to sit crooked when driving straight. As part of the alignment process, we adjust the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position to ensure everything is set correctly.
