Service Promotions What Is Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment refers to an automotive service that involves readjusting the angles of your vehicle’s wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. These adjustments affect three main angles: camber (the tilt of the wheel inward or outward), caster (the angle of the steering axis), and toe (how much the wheels turn inward or outward when viewed from above). When these angles are properly aligned, your car drives straight and tires wear evenly. Over time, everyday driving events (such as hitting potholes, curbs, or driving over rough surfaces) can throw your alignment off balance.

How Often Should I Get My Wheels Realigned?

 

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer for wheel alignment intervals, but most experts recommend checking your wheel alignment every 16,000 to 19,000 kilometres, which would be about once every year for the average driver. However, your driving habits and local road conditions can affect this schedule. If you often drive on rough roads or have recently had a major impact, it’s a good idea to get your alignment checked sooner. Regular checks are also smart anytime you install new tires, as misaligned wheels can cause premature tire wear and affect handling.
