Service Summary

Wheel alignment, also called tracking, involves adjusting the angles of your car's wheels to match the manufacturer's specifications. This ensures that your tyres make contact with the road at the correct angle, your wheels are aligned straight, and your tyres are perfectly centered in the wheel wells.

Performing regular wheel alignments on your car is essential for several reasons:

  • Improved Handling and Safety: Properly aligned wheels ensure your car handles correctly, making it easier to steer and reducing the risk of accidents. 
  • Extended Tyre Life: Misaligned wheels cause uneven tire wear, which means you’ll need to replace your tyres more frequently. Aligning your wheels helps distribute wear evenly, extending the life of your tyres.
  • Better Fuel Efficiency: When your wheels are aligned, your car doesn’t have to work as hard to move forward, which can improve fuel efficiency and save you money on fuel. 
  • Reduced Wear on Suspension and Steering Components: Misalignment puts extra stress on your car’s suspension and steering systems, leading to premature wear and potentially costly repairs.
  • Smoother Ride: Proper alignment ensures a smoother and more comfortable ride, as your car won’t pull to one side or vibrate excessively.

"The pricing was fair, particularly given the high-quality service. They also provided a follow-up check to ensure everything stayed in perfect condition. I highly recommend Northwest for anyone in need of a dependable and professional wheel alignment. It's a valuable investment for the safety and performance of your vehicle."
