Proper tire alignment prevents issues with both your tires and suspension system. Getting your tires aligned helps them roll more smoothly, promoting even wear, improved gas mileage, and extended tire life. Good alignment also gives you better control of your vehicle, as poor alignment can cause your steering wheel to vibrate, shake, or pull sharply to the left or right.
What Causes Poor Alignment?
- Daily driving patterns
- Hitting curbs
- Minor or major accidents
- Potholes
- Regular weather conditions
- Road debris
When to Get an Alignment
If you notice your steering wheel vibrating, shaking, or pulling to one side, it’s time to have your alignment checked. Additionally, if you experience any changes in the smoothness of your ride after hitting something, an alignment check is recommended. We suggest getting an alignment check every six months—usually resulting in one alignment per year—or whenever you install new tires.Stay proactive to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
