Alignment

About Alignment Services at Tyler's Automotive

No one drives on perfectly smooth surfaces all the time, which is why cars are designed to account for those bumps and twists, keeping you comfortable in the seat, and adjusting the wheels to take the curves. All of this control is done through the handling system, which essentially covers the components of your wheels, tires, and steering wheel. To keep your ride smooth, we recommend regular tire rotation and alignment service.

What is wheel alignment?

Alignment

Wheel alignment, sometimes referred to as breaking or tracking, is how a car’s suspension and steering are adjusted to ensure the tires are angled just right to make proper contact with the road. The alignment will get out of whack from hitting a pothole or curb, going too fast over a speed bump, or regularly driving off-road. Inspecting the alignment should be part of your regular 5,000-mile maintenance, but if your tires squeal or seem to wear down quickly, or you notice your car pulling to one side, it may be time to take a look at the alignment. We’ll adjust the wheels to the car manufacturer’s specifications.

Problems with Car Alignment

Over time, a car that is not in proper alignment will cause uneven or excessive wear on tires, which can contribute to overall poor performance including reducing gas mileage. You also won’t have a smooth ride. Tires should last 50,000 to 70,000 miles, so to extend the life of your tires, we recommend rotating and inspecting the tires as part of your annual maintenance.
