ALIGNMENT SERVICES
As an auto shop specializing in alignment services, ensuring the proper alignment of your vehicle is crucial for safety, tire longevity, and optimal handling. Here’s a list of alignment services we provide:
Pre-Alignment Inspection:
Visual inspection of tires for signs of uneven wear. Check for any visible damage to the suspension components or steering parts. Inspect wheel rims for dents or bends.
Wheel Alignment Check:
Use specialized alignment equipment to measure current alignment settings, including camber, caster, and toe angles. Compare measurements to manufacturer specifications.
Camber Adjustment:
Adjust camber angles to ensure the wheels are perpendicular to the road surface. Correct excessive positive or negative camber to reduce tire wear and improve handling.
Caster Adjustment:
Adjust caster angles to fine-tune the steering axis inclination. Ensure the steering wheel is centered and the vehicle tracks straight.
Toe Adjustment:
Adjust toe angles to align the wheels parallel to each other. Correct toe-in or toe-out conditions that can cause tire wear and affect steering.
Thrust Angle Alignment
(4-Wheel Alignment):
Check and adjust the thrust angle, ensuring that the rear wheels are aligned with the front wheels. Correct any misalignment that can lead to vehicle drift or instability.
Steering Wheel Centering:
Ensure the steering wheel is centered when driving straight. Adjust the tie rods as needed to reposition the steering wheel.
Road Test:
Test drive the vehicle to assess alignment quality and handling. Check for steering wheel alignment and ensure the vehicle tracks straight.
Alignment Check Verification:
Re-measure alignment settings after adjustments. Verify that the vehicle’s alignment now conforms to manufacturer specifications.
We offer recommendations for any additional repairs or services if suspension or steering components are worn or damaged.
Our alignment services help ensure your vehicles have proper wheel alignment, resulting in improved handling, reduced tire wear, and enhanced safety on the road. Regular alignment checks and adjustments are essential for the overall health of a vehicle.
