Our Wheel Alignment Services


With a wheel alignment from Advance Tyres, your tyres will be restored to how they should be, based on the particular guidelines of your manufacturer. Our alignment services limit wear and help boost your car's safety on the road.


Over time, your tyres can shift out of alignment or be forced out of alignment if you run into a curb or hit a pothole. A misaligned tyre will make your car feel as if it's being pulled off to one side of the road. Not only does this impact your safety on the road, but it also leaves your tyres prone to faster wear and tear - leading you to pay for a tyre replacement much sooner than you should.


During our alignment service, we'll measure, assess and adjust the steering and suspension of your vehicle to make sure your wheels are parallel and perpendicular to the ground. You can trust Advance Tyres to use the best equipment on the market to deliver precise results.

Benefits Of A Wheel Alignment


A wheel alignment is a service that ensures your vehicle's wheels are properly aligned with each other and the road. Proper alignment provides several benefits, including:

 

  • Improved handling: When wheels are properly aligned, the suspension and steering components of a vehicle can function as intended. This allows for a smoother and more stable ride, as the car will not pull to one side or vibrate excessively. Additionally, properly aligned wheels can improve steering response, making it easier to make turns and navigate the road. When the wheels are not aligned, the vehicle's handling can be affected, making it difficult to steer, respond quickly and turn smoothly.


  •  Increased safety: Misaligned wheels can cause a vehicle to pull to one side, making it difficult to control. This can be especially dangerous when driving at high speeds or in adverse weather conditions. Misaligned wheels can also cause uneven tyre wear, which can lead to a blowout or other serious tyre failure. Proper alignment improves your ability to steer and respond to road conditions, reducing the risk of accidents and increasing overall safety on the road.


  •  Prolonged tyre life: When wheels are out of alignment, tyres wear unevenly, which leads to the need for more frequent replacements. Tyres that are not properly aligned will experience uneven wear, which means the inner or outer edge of the tyre will wear out faster than the rest of the tyre. This can lead to early replacement of the tyres and increase the overall cost of ownership. Proper alignment helps distribute weight evenly across all four tyres, extending their life.


  •  Better fuel economy: A properly aligned vehicle requires less effort from the engine to maintain speed. This is because misaligned wheels can cause increased drag, which forces the engine to work harder. This increased effort can lead to lower fuel efficiency, resulting in higher running costs.


  •  Cost savings: By prolonging the life of your tyres and improving fuel efficiency, wheel alignment can help save money in the long run. Additionally, by improving the overall performance of your vehicle, wheel alignment can help reduce the need for expensive repairs and maintenance.

 

Overall, wheel alignment is an important service that helps keep your car running safely and efficiently. It’s recommended to have your wheels aligned at least once a year or whenever you notice uneven tyre wear or steering problems.

FAQs


  • Is wheel alignment essential?

    Yes, wheel alignment is essential to maintain your vehicle's optimal performance and safety. Proper alignment ensures that your tyres wear evenly, extending their lifespan and enhancing fuel efficiency. Misaligned wheels can cause your vehicle to pull to one side, leading to uneven tyre wear and potentially causing steering and suspension issues.

  • How long can I go without wheel alignment?

    While there is no exact timeframe for how long you can go without a wheel alignment, it is generally recommended to get it checked at least once a year or every. However, several factors can influence this frequency. Driving on rough roads and experiencing noticeable changes in vehicle handling can indicate the need for an alignment. Regularly checking your wheel alignment can help prevent excessive tyre wear, improve fuel efficiency and enhance overall vehicle safety.

  • Should I get new tyres or an alignment first?

    It is typically best to get the new tyres installed first, followed by an alignment. This ensures the alignment is tailored to the new tyres, optimising their lifespan and performance. At Advance Tyres, we can assist you in selecting the right tyres for your vehicle and provide a precise alignment to ensure they wear evenly and enhance your driving experience.
