What Happens During Wheel Alignments?
During a wheel alignment service, our service center technicians will take the time to look for damaged components and irregular tire wear that can quickly indicate a problem. Then, they'll place the vehicle on a specialized alignment rack that uses a computer system to read the camber, toe, and caster angles of your wheels. With a primary measurement taken, our technicians can compare the values to manufacturer specifications and adjust your suspension components as needed.
