Why Align All Four Wheels?
Aligning your front wheels is crucial for the overall handling and ride quality of your car. Misaligned front wheels can have a noticeable impact on your driving experience.
While rear-wheel misalignment may not feel as noticeable, it can still lead to increased tyre wear and reduced fuel efficiency. By aligning both the front and rear wheels, we ensure all four are tracking correctly. Our computerised alignment system restores your car’s wheels to their original factory settings, giving you a smoother drive and better fuel economy.
