What Is Wheel Alignment and Why Is It Important?
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. Proper alignment ensures that your tires wear evenly, your car handles well, and your driving experience remains safe and smooth.
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.

Recognizing the signs of misalignment early can prevent costly repairs. Common symptoms include:

- Steering Wheel Drifting: A steering wheel that pulls to one side while centered indicates a possible alignment problem.
- Vibrations: You may experience vibrations in your steering wheel or car due to misalignment.
- Misaligned Steering Wheel: Your steering wheel may not return to the center position after a turn.

- Increased Tire Longevity: Proper alignment helps ensure even tire wear, extending their lifespan and saving you money.
