**Free Alignment Check**

 

Here are some common signs that you are dealing with wheels with poor alignment:

​

• Vehicle pulling to the left or right.

• Uneven or rapid tire wear.

• Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight.

• Squealing tires.

​

What is an alignment?

​

​Alignment refers to an adjustment of a vehicle's suspension – the system that connects a vehicle to its wheels. It is not an adjustment of the tires or wheels-themselves. The key to proper alignment is adjusting the angles of the tires which affects how they make contact with the road.

​

What causes a car to pull to the side?

​

​Air pressure, wheel alignment and low tires. Uneven air pressure is a very common reason for a vehicle to pull to one side. When the pressure in a tire is lower on one side, the height of the tire changes. ... A low rear tire can also change front wheel alignment and cause a pull.

​

How often should I get an alignment?

​

An alignment check should be done annually to make sure your suspension is in proper order.

​

Can an alignment affect my gas mileage?

​

Yes. Improper alignment can affect your MPG from 2-3 miles per gallon.
