Alignment Services
Wheel alignment, a fundamental aspect of regular car maintenance, entails the precise adjustment of wheel angles to align with the manufacturer's specifications. This process ensures that your suspension and steering systems operate at optimal angles, ultimately reducing tire wear. Alignment is a complex task and our skilled experts who excel in this field can guarantee precision and quality.

Alignment FAQs

How long does a full alignment take?

Wheel alignments typically take one hour for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. However, excessive wear and tear on suspension components like bushings, track rods, or the system itself can require replacements, extending the service time.

What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?

Tire alignment is crucial for maintaining optimal tire performance and lifespan. Even slight misalignments, undetectable to the naked eye but measurable in tenths of degrees or hundredths of inches, can lead to premature and uneven wear. As time passes, this wear becomes more pronounced, impacting both safety and fuel efficiency. To avoid these issues, regular alignment checks every 6,000 miles are recommended.

What is checked during an alignment?

Three crucial aspects are assessed during a tire alignment inspection: camber, toe, and caster. Camber refers to the angle formed by the vertical axis of the tire and a line perpendicular to the road surface, as viewed from the front. When the top of the tire tilts inwards, creating an "X" shape with the wheels, it's considered negative camber. This can increase wear on the tire's inner edge through increased friction.

Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?

The answer is yes! A proper wheel alignment ensures precise angles between wheels and the road, maximizing tire life, enhancing handling, and distributing wear evenly across the tread. This translates to better fuel efficiency, safer driving, and a more enjoyable ride.

Testimonials

reviewiconFleet Repair in a Pinch!
Miscellaneous Services, near Albany, NY
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Vinny and the entire staff at your facility. We are contractor from Michigan and were having issues with one of our fleet trucks. I called several dealerships and service centers in your area and not one company would help us. I called and talked to Vinny and he helped us with no issue. We were in a time crunch as we were leaving in a day to head to Chicago for another job. Vinny was able to get our truck in, drive our tech to his job, and pick our tech up from the job to get his truck back. The biggest thing that I appreciate is the cost of your service. You guys could have charged anything knowing we were in a pinch and needed to get to Chicago. Your charge was actually much cheaper then any repair shop we use in Michigan. It is really nice to know there are honest companies out there still. Again Thank You Vinny!!
