Why Alignment Is Important
Proper wheel alignment makes a big difference in how your vehicle handles, how your tires wear, and how comfortable your drive feels. Even everyday things like hitting a pothole or bumping a curb can knock your wheels out of alignment. Left unchecked, misalignment can shorten the life of your tires, affect fuel efficiency, and make your vehicle harder to control. Regular alignment checks help catch issues early and keep everything running as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wheel Alignment
Q. How can I tell if my vehicle needs an alignment?
You might notice your car pulling to one side, your steering wheel isn’t centered, your tires are wearing unevenly, or you hear strange noises while turning.
Q. How often should I get an alignment check?
Once a year is a good rule of thumb, or about every 10,000–12,000 miles. If you drive on rough roads regularly, you might need it checked more often.
Q. Is it safe to drive with bad alignment?
You can drive, but it’s not ideal. Misalignment can lead to faster tire wear and make it harder to steer or stop safely.
Q. What’s the difference between wheel alignment and tire balancing?
Alignment deals with adjusting your wheels so they point in the right direction. Balancing is about evenly distributing weight across each tire and wheel.
Q. Should I get an alignment when I buy new tires?
Yes, it’s a smart move. It helps your new tires wear evenly and perform the way they’re supposed to from day one.
