Precision Wheel Alignment Specialists
We use Hunter Alignment Technology to deliver microscopically accurate wheel alignment. This essential service restores your vehicle's handling, significantly extends the life of your tires, and improves fuel efficiency.
What is wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the three main angles—camber, caster, and toe—to ensure your wheels are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. We use latest Hunter alignment equipment to provide highly accurate, factory-spec adjustments, preventing uneven tire wear and improving vehicle safety and handling.
Benefits of Proper Alignment
Regular wheel alignment is one of the most cost-effective maintenance services you can perform for your vehicle. It is essential for ensuring your vehicle tracks straight, handles predictably, and maximizes the lifespan of your expensive tires. Misaligned wheels create unnecessary friction, leading to premature tire replacement and decreased fuel efficiency. Our comprehensive service restores your car to its optimal driving condition.
Signs You Need Wheel Alignment
If you notice any of the following common symptoms, it's critical to schedule an alignment check right away to prevent costly tire damage and ensure safety:
- Vehicle Pulling- Your car consistently drifts or pulls to the left or right when driving on a straight, level road, forcing you to constantly correct the steering.
- Uneven or Rapid Tire Wear-The edges (inner or outer) of your tires show significantly more wear than the center, indicating the tires are dragging or scrubbing the road surface.
- Crooked Steering Wheel- The steering wheel is not centered (straight) when the vehicle is traveling straight ahead.
- Squealing Tires- Your tires squeal when you turn corners, even at low speeds.
- Loose or Wandering Steering- The steering wheel feels unusually loose, or the vehicle seems to wander slightly at high speeds, requiring constant minor corrections.

How often should I get a wheel alignment?
You should get a wheel alignment annually, or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles, to maintain vehicle performance. It is also mandatory immediately after installing new tires or replacing any steering or suspension components.
What is the difference between balancing and alignment?
Alignment adjusts the angle of the wheel and tire assembly, while balancing adjusts the weight distribution of the tire on the rim. Alignment prevents the vehicle from pulling and controls tire wear; balancing prevents shaking and vibration at highway speeds.
What are "camber," "caster," and "toe"?
Camber, caster, and toe are the three primary alignment angles we adjust:
Toe- The most critical adjustment; it refers to whether the fronts of the tires point inward (toe-in) or outward (toe-out).
Camber- The inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front.
Caster:-The angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side, which affects steering stability and cornering.
How long does a wheel alignment take?
A standard four-wheel alignment typically takes about one hour to complete. This includes the initial diagnostic check, the precision adjustments using our Hunter equipment, and a final test drive to ensure everything is perfect.
