What to Expect With an Alignment
1. Schedule Your Appointment
Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.
If you're concerned about the tread on your tires, we recommend the “penny test” to check your tread depth. Simply insert a penny into your tire's tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is less than 2/32 inch and it's time to replace your tires.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Wheel Alignment
If your car is pulling to one side or your steering wheel is off-center while driving straight, it may be time for an alignment check. Uneven tire wear is another indicator that your wheels may be misaligned.
Our technicians use state-of-the-art technology to detect a misalignment as small as one-tenth of a degree, ensuring precise corrections. Local road conditions, such as Alafaya's busy thoroughfares and occasional inclement weather, can impact alignment, making routine checks essential. Adjusting your wheel alignment improves safety, as a correctly aligned vehicle responds effectively in emergency situations, providing optimal stability and control.
Our Comprehensive Wheel Alignment Services
We provide several types of alignments tailored to your vehicle's needs, including:
- Front-End Alignment: Adjusts alignment at the front wheels to correct pulling issues and can be particularly beneficial for vehicles that frequently navigate Alafaya's winding roads.
- Four-Wheel Alignment: Ensures all four wheels are parallel and level with the ground, crucial for maintaining stability across diverse terrains.
- Thrust Angle Alignment: Aligns front wheels with the rear axle, crucial for vehicles with non-adjustable rear suspensions, ensuring your vehicle tracks uniformly on Alafaya's varied road surfaces.
Our ASE-certified technicians are committed to transparency and educating you about your vehicle's needs, avoiding technical jargon. This approach ensures you understand the service benefits and make informed decisions regarding vehicle maintenance.
