Chevrolet-Certified Wheel Alignment Services
- Alignment Checks - Regular alignment checks detect faulty wheel angles while promoting prompt alignment adjustments for benefits, such as even tread wear, extended tire life, and safety promoted by preventing pulling to one side of straight roads. We use a computerized wheel aligner to measure the camber, caster, and toe-in, extending drivers’ peace of mind knowing that their wheels point straight, front wheels rotate parallel, and wheel assemblies face the road at 180 degrees for optimum traction supportive of peak braking power and traction in adverse road conditions.
- Four-Wheel Alignment - Four-wheel alignment is recommended for all-wheel-drive (AWD) models with drive torque delivered to all four wheels. Service starts as the certified technician measures all four wheels’ angles. We use the results to restore wheel angles to specifications by adjusting the front and rear suspension components.

Wheel Alignment Maintenance Explained
Alignment services are routine vehicle maintenance that every vehicle benefits from when completed every 12 months due to driving incidents that put off wheel angles, such as hitting large potholes or expected angle shifting with expected suspension component loosening and depreciation. Each car has specified needs for either two-wheel alignment or four-wheel alignment, depending on whether the vehicle is front-wheel drive or has all-wheel or four-wheel drive capabilities. To the layman, either service appears the same. The car or truck goes up on the shop's lift to provide access to the underside for a technician. The professional then uses appropriate tools to align wheels at factory specifications for the best driving experience. We can make the necessary adjustments to faulty wheel angles while restoring specifications.
When To Have Your Chevy's Wheel Alignment Inspected
Alignment promotes the best, safest driving experience with maximum tire life. If the alignment system didn't absorb everyday road stress and come out of place over time, the pressure would create tiny cracks in the axle and other parts of the suspension system, which would be far more difficult and expensive to replace than simply adjusting the alignment back to where it's supposed to be. The vehicle's regular maintenance schedule includes the mileage at which alignment must be inspected in normal driving conditions. The alignment should also be checked after an accident, including parking lot fender benders, running over a curb, hitting a large pothole at speed, or even being unable to avoid unexpected items (litter) on the road.
Problems with Misaligned Wheels on Your Chevy
Symptoms of a misaligned vehicle can be multifold, but the first you're likely to notice is the car tends to veer left or right while driving down a straight road. Don't take your hands off the steering wheel to test this statement, but theoretically, if you take your hands off the steering wheel, the vehicle should proceed in a straight line. Other symptoms can be poor gas mileage, loss of power and performance, or uneven tire tread wear. Unfortunately, such symptoms come on so slowly that few drivers recognize them. You won't notice one or two less MPG until it gets to the point you're filling up twice per week instead of once. Most drivers won't recognize uneven tire wear until they need new tires, long before expected or budgeted.
