4 WHEEL LASER ALIGNMENT
Wheel alignment, as part of standard vehicle maintenance,consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.
Wheel alignment is a very important in maximizing the effectiveness of your tyres and steering. If your wheel alignment is out of sync it can cause excessive tyre wear. This can create issues with your steering.
When we set about aligning the wheels of your car, we adjust the angles of the wheels. So that they are perfectly perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. This will maximise the life of your tyres.

DOES YOUR VEHICLE REQUIRE ALIGNMENT ?
Uneven tyre wear ? Having misaligned wheels means your wheels are physically positioned at different angles. The difference may be slight but it will be enough to cause your tyres to wear unevenly. You can diagnose this by checking your tyres for even wear – if the tyres are the same height of tread from inside shoulder to outside shoulder, you are probably okay. However, if one is significantly more worn than the other, it is probably time to consider an alignment and/or a tyre change.
Vehicle pulls hard to the left or right ? Pulling hard to the left or right is a telltale sign that your vehicle needs a wheel alignment. If you feel as though you have to struggle with your steering wheel in order to keep your vehicle straight, we recommend getting a wheel alignment done as soon as possible.
Slight pulling to the left or right ? A good way to check your car’s alignment is to let go of the wheel for a couple seconds when driving in a straight line at low speed with no surrounding traffic or obstructions. If your vehicle is out of alignment, it will drift slightly to the right or left. We recommend performing this test in an empty car park that is not occupied by pedestrians, obstructions, or other vehicles.
Steering Wheel Off Centre ? If you’re driving down a straight stretch of road and you notice that your steering wheel is crooked, you might need a wheel alignment. You might notice this after you run over a curb, a pothole, or another type of obstacle in the road.
