Achieve safer, smoother, and more efficient driving with correct wheel alignment.
What Wheel Alignment Means and Why It Matters
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. 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.

Catching misalignment early can save you from expensive repairs. Look out for these signs:

- Drifting Steering Wheel: When your steering wheel drifts to one side while driving straight, misalignment could be the cause.
- Steering Wheel Vibrations: You may experience vibrations in your steering wheel or car due to misalignment.
- Steering Wheel Not Centered: Your steering wheel may not return to the center position after a turn.
