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.
Why Wheel Alignment Matters in Melbourne
Driving in Melbourne presents unique challenges, from variable weather conditions to diverse road surfaces. Misalignment can result in rapid tire wear, poor vehicle handling, and increased fuel consumption. Addressing alignment issues not only improves your driving experience but also contributes to the longevity of your vehicle. Understanding local traffic regulations and vehicle standards helps us ensure your alignment is in line with both safety and legal requirements.
Melbourne's road networks are a mix of bustling city streets, suburban areas, and rural roads.
