Frequently asked questions on wheel alignment

How do I know if my wheels need to be aligned?

Look out for uneven tyre wear, your car pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel, vibrations, or squealing tyres.

Can I drive if my alignment is bad?

Yes, but it’s not safe. Bad alignment can lead to uneven tyre wear, lower fuel efficiency, and poor handling.

How long does an alignment take?

A typical alignment takes about an hour, but it might vary based on your vehicle and the service needed.

Can a bad alignment cause vibration?

Definitely. Misaligned wheels can make your steering wheel or entire car shake, especially at higher speeds.

How often should I get my wheels aligned?

Check your alignment every 6,000 miles or every six months. Also, get it checked if you notice for signs of misalignment or after hitting a big pothole or curb.
