An Alignment Is Only As Good As The Parts Holding It There
A proper wheel alignment starts with a steering and suspension system that can actually hold an alignment. Worn tie rods, ball joints, control arm bushings, wheel bearings and other loose or damaged components can make an accurate alignment impossible.
That's why we don't believe in simply setting the toe and sending it down the road. If something is keeping your vehicle from aligning correctly, we'll show you what we found and explain what needs attention.
Sometimes it needs parts. Sometimes it just needs an alignment. Either way, the goal is to fix the actual problem.
When Should You Get a Wheel Alignment?
You don't need to wait until the steering wheel is sideways or the tires are smoked. If something has changed in the way your vehicle drives, it's worth checking before a small problem turns into a set of tires.
Common reasons to have the alignment checked:
• Vehicle pulls or drifts left or right
• Steering wheel is off-center
• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• New tires were installed
• Steering or suspension components were replaced
• Vehicle was lifted, lowered or otherwise modified
• You hit a pothole, curb or something else hard enough to make you wonder
The Equipment Matters Too
We use Hunter HawkEye alignment equipment with an in-ground, zero-degree-entry alignment rack. That gives us accurate measurements while allowing us to handle vehicles that can be a pain in the ass for a conventional alignment rack.
Daily driver, family SUV, work truck, lowered car or lifted truck — if it fits our equipment and we can align it correctly, we're happy to put it on the rack.
