Improved Steering Control
Reduce Uneven Tyre Wear
Protect Your Tyres & Handling
Wheel alignment plays a bigger role in vehicle performance than many drivers realise. When your wheels aren’t aligned correctly, tyres can wear unevenly, reducing their lifespan and affecting grip on the road. It can also lead to increased fuel consumption and extra stress on suspension and steering components, which may result in more costly repairs over time.
By keeping your wheels properly aligned, you’ll notice smoother handling, better stability and improved tyre longevity. It’s a simple service that can save you money and improve safety in the long run. Get in touch today to organise your alignment or have your vehicle checked by our team.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my car needs a wheel alignment?
There are several clear signs that your vehicle may need a wheel alignment. The most common is the car pulling to one side while driving on a straight, level road. You may also notice your steering wheel is off-centre even when driving straight, or that the steering feels loose or less responsive than usual.
Uneven tyre wear is another key indicator—if one side of the tyre is wearing down faster than the other, alignment is often the cause. In some cases, the vehicle may feel unstable at higher speeds. These issues can develop gradually, so regular checks are important to maintain safe and predictable handling.
Does wheel alignment affect fuel efficiency?
Yes, incorrect wheel alignment can have a noticeable impact on fuel efficiency over time. When your wheels are out of alignment, they create additional rolling resistance, meaning your vehicle has to work harder to move forward. This extra strain on the engine leads to increased fuel consumption, even if it’s not immediately obvious.
Over longer distances, this can add up to higher running costs. Keeping your wheels properly aligned allows your vehicle to move more freely and efficiently, helping reduce fuel usage and improve overall driving performance.
How often should wheel alignment be done?
Wheel alignment should typically be checked every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or at least once a year as part of regular vehicle maintenance. However, it’s also important to have your alignment checked after hitting potholes, kerbs or speed bumps, as these impacts can easily knock your wheels out of alignment.
If you’ve recently replaced tyres or had suspension or steering work completed, an alignment is also recommended. Staying on top of alignment helps ensure even tyre wear, improves handling and reduces the risk of more expensive repairs over time.
