Wheel Alignment & Routine Maintenance
Wheel angles called the camber, caster, and toe-in define your vehicle’s wheel alignment. These angles determine the direction in which the wheels point and how to tires grip the road. Drivers with aligned wheels enjoy a comfortable driving experience with even tire wear, ride comfort, and safety. Wheel angles do not remain at factory specifications because of driving incidents like slamming into large potholes and expected component depreciation that loosens angles out of specifications. Automakers recommend wheel alignment services at a 12-month interval for the best results.
Two-Wheel Alignment Service
Vehicles with front-wheel drive (2WD) powertrains receive a two-wheel alignment service emphasizing the front wheels’ angles. Certified technicians use a computerized wheel aligner to measure the front wheels’ camber, caster, and toe-in. We adjust the front steering/suspension components to restore wheel angles to factory specifications. Service includes inspecting the steering components, suspension components, and tires.
Four-Wheel Alignment Service
Vehicles with all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrains receive the four-wheel alignment service that includes all four wheels. Certified technicians use our computerized wheel aligner to assess the camber, caster, and toe-in at the front and rear wheels. We adjust the rear and front suspension/steering components to restore wheel angles to factory specifications. Service also includes inspecting the suspension/steering components and the tires.
