Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.

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.
Car Alignment
Car alignment, also referred to as wheel alignment or tire alignment, involves adjusting the angles of the wheels to the manufacturer's specifications. This service ensures that all four wheels are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the road surface. Proper car alignment enhances your vehicle's stability, improves fuel efficiency, and prolongs tire life. At Christian Brothers Automotive Apex, we have the expertise to perform precise car alignments for all makes and models.
4-Wheel Alignment
A 4-wheel alignment, also called all-wheel alignment, addresses the alignment of all four wheels of your vehicle. This service is essential for vehicles with independent rear suspensions and those that require adjustments to both the front and rear wheels. Our skilled technicians use advanced alignment equipment to accurately align all four wheels, ensuring optimal handling, tire wear, and overall vehicle performance.
