Wheel Alignment Services in Gilbert, AZ

Your Local Solution for a Safer, Smoother Ride

Driving on Gilbert’s roads can gradually throw your wheels out of alignment, affecting your vehicle’s handling, safety, and efficiency. At Christian Brothers Automotive Gilbert at Higley and Baseline, we provide expert alignment services designed to keep your vehicle moving smoothly. Our ASE-certified technicians use advanced equipment to ensure precise adjustments that improve handling, extend tire life, and optimize fuel economy. Whether your car pulls to one side or your tires show uneven wear, we will find and correct the issue with care.

Why Alignment Matters for Gilbert Drivers

Arizona’s extreme temperatures and sudden summer storms can worsen alignment issues. Hot pavement and potholes that form after monsoons often cause subtle changes that may go unnoticed but lead to bigger problems. Keeping your car aligned is crucial for safety on the streets, where you may need to react quickly to changing traffic. Regular checks help offset these environmental factors, keeping your car safe year-round and compliant with Arizona’s vehicle safety requirements.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Alignment

Ignoring the warning signs of wheel misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear, compromised safety, and significant issues down the line. If your vehicle is exhibiting any of the following symptoms, we strongly recommend getting your alignment checked promptly:

  • Uneven or Rapid Tire Wear: Inspecting your tires and noticing that the tread is wearing down unevenly is one of the clearest signs of a bad alignment.
  • Vehicle Pulling to One Side: If your car veers to the left or right when you’re trying to drive straight, your alignment is likely the culprit.
  • Off-Center Steering Wheel: Your steering wheel should be straight when your tires are pointed forward. If it’s crooked, you need an alignment.
  • Steering Wheel Vibration: Feeling unusual vibrations through the steering wheel, especially at highway speeds, often signals an alignment or tire balance issue.

Don't let a bad alignment compromise your safety. For a fast, professional wheel alignment, call the team at Christian Brothers Automotive Gilbert at Higley and Baseline at (480) 906-3342 or book your appointment online today.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get my alignment checked in Gilbert, AZ? 

We recommend an alignment check at least once a year or every 10,000 miles. However, given Gilbert’s road conditions and extreme heat, more frequent inspections can help you catch small issues early, especially after installing new tires.

What is the difference between a front-end and a four-wheel alignment? 

A front-end alignment adjusts only your vehicle’s two front wheels, which is sufficient for some vehicles. A four-wheel alignment adjusts all four wheels and is essential for most modern cars, especially all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles, to ensure the best handling and stability.

How does a proper alignment affect my fuel economy? 

Correct wheel alignment improves fuel efficiency by reducing the friction, or "rolling resistance," between your tires and the road. When your wheels are properly aligned, your engine doesn't have to work as hard to move the car forward, which can save you money on gas.

What are the key angles you adjust during an alignment? 

Our technicians use advanced equipment to measure and adjust three key angles: Camber (the inward or outward tilt of the tire), Caster (the angle of the steering axis), and Toe (the direction the tires point). All three must be set to the manufacturer's exact specifications.
