When you’re driving, you want to make sure your vehicle is going in the direction you’re steering it. Even if you don’t find yourself struggling with the wheel to keep your vehicle going in a straight line, you should regularly have your wheel alignment checked. Especially after you’ve had your tires changed for the winter or summer seasons. Read on with the service experts here at the Downtown Auto Group, as we take a closer look at what goes into wheel alignment service.
Why is Wheel Alignment important?
What Are Common Signs Your Alignment Is Off?
You may be due for a wheel alignment adjustment if you have done, or noticed, any of the following things:
- The need to pull the steering wheel to one side to drive straight
- You’ve been in a minor collision with another vehicle
- You’ve roughly collided with a stationary object including curbs, potholes, or speed bumps
- Your new vehicle has reached 3,000 km
- You’ve changed your tires for the season
- Any part of your suspension has recently been repaired or changed
How Often Should I Get My Wheels Alignment Checked?
You should get your vehicle’s wheel alignment checked at minimum once a year, and possibly every time you get an oil change. Certainly, you should book in an alignment every time you change your seasonal tires. Don’t hesitate to book in for an alignment adjustment if you ever notice the steering is off for any reason. The good news is, alignment checks don’t take too long, and we should have you back on the road promptly.
