Wheel Alignment
Making sure that your wheel alignment is correct is one of the most important things you can do to properly care for your tires. A poorly aligned car will unevenly wear your tires at an alarming rate. If left uncorrected, you may need to buy new tires much sooner than anticipated! Our certified service team would like to invite you to our shop for a wheel alignment service that could extend the life of your tires.
The actual wheel alignment itself doesn’t just involve the wheels or tires, it includes adjusting the vehicle’s suspension systems. Our team knows how to adjust these sophisticated systems so that your car drives with exceptional precision. Here is a list of a few things which may be signs that you need a wheel alignment:
- Uneven tire wear
- Drifting to one side or another on the road while driving straight
- Vibration in the steering wheel
Even if you don’t notice any of these signs, you may still need a wheel alignment as part of your warranty agreement. Come see our local auto repair center for a wheel alignment!
Why Proper Alignment is Essential for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are designed to keep you safe on the road by helping with tasks like lane keeping, automatic braking, and collision warnings. These systems rely on sensors, cameras, and other technologies to work correctly. However, for these features to perform at their best, your vehicle’s wheels must be properly aligned.
What Happens if Your Alignment is Off?
ADAS Sensors and Cameras May Malfunction:
Misaligned wheels can affect the positioning of ADAS sensors and cameras, leading to inaccurate readings. This might cause systems like Lane Keep Assist or Forward Collision Warning to respond incorrectly.
Lane Keep and Stability Issues:
Misalignment can make it harder for your car to stay centered in a lane, confusing systems that assist with steering and stability.
Uneven Wear and Poor Handling:
Improper alignment not only wears out your tires faster but also impacts how your car handles, which could make systems like Automatic Emergency Braking less effective.
Calibration May Be Needed After Alignment:
Once alignment is fixed, ADAS features often require recalibration to ensure everything is working precisely as it should.
Why You Should Get ADAS-Compatible Alignment Services
With proper alignment and recalibration, we make sure your vehicle's safety systems are performing exactly as designed. This keeps you and your passengers safer while also extending the life of your tires and improving overall handling.
