The Benefits of Proper Wheel Alignment

For a smooth and controlled ride, proper wheel alignment is integral. Here at 5 Star Auto Repair & Auto Detailing, we offer wheel alignment services for all cars, SUVs, and trucks. Correct alignment offers numerous benefits for your vehicle, enhancing both safety and performance. When your wheels are correctly aligned, your vehicle handles more smoothly, providing better steering response and stability, which is crucial for safe driving. It also helps in preventing uneven tire wear, which, in turn, extends the longevity of your tires and saves you money on premature tire replacement in the long run. Proper alignment also reduces strain on the suspension and steering systems, helping them last. By ensuring your wheels are aligned, you also improve fuel efficiency, as misaligned wheels can cause your car to work harder and consume more fuel. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments at our shop in Cheektowaga, New York, are essential for maintaining your vehicle’s overall health and ensuring a safe, comfortable ride.

| How Often Do You Need Wheel Alignment?

We recommend wheel alignment checks at least once a year to ensure your wheels are tracking straight and true, as well as after any incident that could have affected alignment, like getting new tires installed or suspension work done. Wheel alignment service becomes necessary when a wheel’s angles deviate from the manufacturer’s specifications. This misalignment can occur due to several factors, including general wear, hitting a curb, driving over potholes, or experiencing an accident. Common symptoms indicating the need for alignment service include uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, vibrations in the steering wheel, and a steering wheel that is off-center while driving straight. If you start to experience one of these signs of misalignment, book an appointment at our auto shop – or stop by during open business hours. We will inspect the condition of your alignment and determine the next steps to get your vehicle operating like new again.
