Alignment and What It Does for You
Proper wheel alignment is one of the most overlooked but essential maintenance tasks. When your wheels are out of alignment, it can affect everything from safety and comfort to fuel economy and tire longevity. Even small misalignments caused by potholes, curbs, or normal wear and tear can add up quickly.
Signs Your Vehicle May Need an Alignment
Not sure if you need alignment service? Look for these common symptoms:
- Vehicle pulls to one side while driving
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Crooked steering wheel when driving straight
- Steering feels loose or unstable
- Vibrations at certain speeds
If you notice any of these, it’s time to book an alignment check with our team at 2nd Mile Repair.
