Tire alignment is not just about keeping your car driving straight - it's a complex service that ensures your tires meet the road at the proper angle, your wheels are pointing straight, and your tires are centered in the wheel wells. It affects fuel efficiency, tire wear, tire performance, vehicle handling, and maneuverability.
Driving on poorly maintained roads can throw your vehicle's alignment off. It can also be affected by driving habits, carrying heavy loads, or impact with curbs and potholes.
The tell-tale signs indicating the need for a wheel alignment include uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, and a steering wheel that is off-center when driving straight. Ignoring these signs can lead to increased tire wear and strain on your vehicle's suspension components, which can result in costly repairs down the line.
At Northshore Automotive, we recommend getting your alignment checked annually, or whenever you get new tires, after a significant impact, or when you notice any of the signs mentioned above.
The process of wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the car manufacturer's specifications. The primary goal is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not a DIY job.
At Northshore Automotive, our ASE-certified technicians use state-of-the-art alignment machines to measure and correct any alignment issues.
Our comprehensive wheel alignment service includes a thorough inspection of your vehicle's suspension and steering systems, followed by adjustments to the camber, caster, and toe angles if necessary. We also check the tire pressure and wear to ensure that your vehicle is safe to drive.
Our team is trained to handle the precise alignment of all types of vehicles, ensuring your ride is smooth and your tires last longer.
