Wheel Alignment Services

A wheel alignment involves adjusting your vehicle’s wheels to ensure they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. Three key angles determine proper alignment: camber, caster, and toe.

  • Camber refers to the tilt of the wheels in relation to the road surface.
  • Caster is the angle of the wheel’s pivot point, which affects straight-line stability.
  • Toe represents the directional difference between the tires and the vehicle’s centerline.

For optimal performance, both the front and rear wheels should be correctly aligned to prevent uneven tire wear and handling issues. Regular wheel alignments help extend tire life, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance driving safety. Misaligned wheels can cause your vehicle to pull to one side and lead to steering or suspension problems if left unaddressed.
