Tires & Wheels
Wheel Alignment
Two- or four-wheel alignment for straight steering and even tire wear.
An alignment adjusts the angles of your wheels to your vehicle's specifications, so it drives straight and your tires wear evenly. Potholes, curbs and worn parts knock it out over time. A proper alignment prevents early wear of tires and other parts, and makes a big difference to how the vehicle drives.

Questions
How often should I get an alignment?
In our area, have it checked at least once a year or every 12,000 to 15,000 km, and whenever you get new tires or hit something hard.
Two-wheel or four-wheel?
A two-wheel alignment adjusts the front wheels only; a four-wheel alignment adjusts the front and rear. Many vehicles need four-wheel. Not sure? Choose "I'm not sure" when you book and we'll check.
What's the difference between alignment and balancing?
Balancing evens out the weight around each wheel, which stops vibration. Alignment sets the angles of the wheels so the vehicle drives straight. A shake at highway speed is usually balancing; pulling to one side is usually alignment.
