We provide computerized wheel alignment services, usually part of auto body collision repair services. Fender benders and more severe collisions are significant threats to wheel alignment as heavy impacts knock wheel angles out of specifications by impacting the steering and suspension components. It’s not surprising that operating a collision center requires us to have extensive experience providing wheel alignment checks, two-wheel alignment, and four-wheel alignment services. Two-wheel alignment is for front-wheel-drive (2WD) vehicles, and four-wheel alignment is for all-wheel-drive (AWD) models. Certified technicians complete our comprehensive wheel alignment services with computerized equipment, delivering precision results where the rubber meets the road.

Wheel alignment emphasizes how the wheel assemblies contact the vehicle’s steering and suspension components at three angles: camber, caster, and toe-in. The angles determine how each wheel points, if opposite wheels are parallel, and if tires face the road perfectly flat for optimum traction, wear, and life. Vehicle owners need a wheel alignment for a variety of reasons, including a collision that knocks wheel angles out of specifications, as proactive maintenance recommended by the manufacturer every 12 months, or after an acute driving incident such as slamming into a large, deep pothole, or driving up a curb while parking. Wheel alignment service involves a certified technician using computerized equipment to measure the wheels’ angles and adjust the steering/suspension components to restore precision specifications. Wheel alignment supports even tread wear, longer-lasting tires, smoother handling, responsive steering, improved traction in adverse weather, and safety.
Wheel misalignment is associated with known symptoms that result in unsafe driving. Common symptoms of Wheel misalignment are as follows:
