Understanding Wheel Alignment and Its Importance
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. Correct wheel alignment ensures your tires last longer, improves vehicle handling, and provides a safer driving experience.
When wheels are misaligned, it causes uneven tire wear, worsens fuel efficiency, and makes your ride less comfortable, so regular alignment checks are crucial for maintenance.

Catching misalignment early can save you from expensive repairs. Look out for these signs:

- Car Vibrations: You may experience vibrations in your steering wheel or car due to misalignment.
- Off-Center Steering Wheel: When your steering wheel doesn’t center properly after a turn, it's a sign of misalignment.

- Improved Gas Mileage: Correct wheel alignment helps lower rolling resistance, which improves your car’s fuel efficiency.
