Wheel Alignment FAQs
How do I know if my car needs a wheel alignment?
Common signs include your vehicle pulling to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits off-center, or vibration while driving. If you notice any of these, it’s time for an alignment check.
How often should I get my wheels aligned?
We recommend an alignment check every year or every 12,000 miles, or sooner if you’ve hit a pothole, curb, or been in an accident.
Can a bad alignment damage my tires?
Yes. Misaligned wheels cause your tires to drag or wear unevenly, which shortens tire life and can lead to costly replacements sooner than expected.
Does wheel alignment affect fuel economy?
Absolutely. Misaligned wheels create extra rolling resistance, which forces your engine to work harder and can noticeably reduce fuel efficiency.
Why should I choose LMW Auto Repair for my alignment service?
Our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to get your alignment right the first time, and every service is backed by our 5-year/60,000-mile warranty and clear, honest communication.
