What’s Included with Tire Rotation & Alignment?
When you get your vehicle’s alignment checked and tires rotated, it’s more than just a quick check on that one section of your car.
We take the time necessary to thoroughly check your car’s tires, wheels, and other mechanisms that operate the wheels to ensure you’ve got a safe car to drive.
During a standard alignment and rotation service, our technicians inspect and adjust your vehicle’s:
- Camber, caster, and toe angles (when applicable)
- Front and rear steering
- Suspension system
- Tire wear and tire condition
- Tire air pressure
A technician then aligns and road tests your vehicle so we can double-check that our work has been done correctly before giving your vehicle back to you.
You receive a print-out detailing all the before-and-after alignment specifications, as well as any issues we noted during our inspection and how they were corrected.
How Often Should I Get My Tires Rotated & Alignment Checked?
Your vehicle’s tires take a beating, especially if you frequently drive roads that aren’t in great condition.
It’s important to include tire rotation and alignment checks in your routine maintenance tasks to avoid potentially dangerous blow-outs and other problems while driving.
Generally speaking, it’s recommended that you rotate your vehicle’s tires every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. For most people, this service can take place at the same time as your regular oil changes, making it easier to remember.
When it comes to checking and aligning your vehicle’s wheels, a good rule of thumb to operate by is once every 2 to 3 years. However, if your vehicle’s owner’s manual states a different time period, or you notice that your car just isn’t driving the same, consider getting your alignment checked more frequently.
