Computerized Alignment Service

Kwik Kar Willow Bend uses Hunter Computer Alignment equipment to ensure the most accurate alignment possible for your vehicle.

Alignment issues develop as a result of everyday driving. But the term wheel alignment doesn't really refer to your car's wheels but rather to the suspension. As a result of normal driving, parts of your car's suspension become worn, and springs can be stretched out. Even a small accident or bumping a curb can disrupt your suspension, knocking some of the highly calibrated components off-kilter, making your wheels sit at improper angles.

What are some of the signs that your vehicle may need an alignment:

• Uneven tire wear
• Vehicle pulls to the right or the left
• Vibration in the steering wheel
• Your steering wheel is turned to the left or right when the front wheels are pointed straight ahead

 

If your wheels are sitting at an improper angle, an alignment corrects the angles to their proper specifications, allowing your wheels sit straight. One clear benefit of an alignment is less tire wear. And with proper alignment tires will tend to wear down evenly across the tire. This extends the useful life of the tire.  Tires can be quite expensive, easily costing $100 or more per tire -- whereas an alignment often costs $89.00 for most 4 wheel alignments, making it a cost-effective procedure that should be part of regular car maintenance an alignment will ensure that your car drives straight and handles properly, making your ride safer. You'll also get better gas mileage because your tires will be properly aligned with the road, decreasing resistance.
