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 Car Needs an Alignment
Proper wheel alignment is essential for your vehicle's safety, handling, and tire longevity.
If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time for an alignment:
- Pulling to One Side: If your car drifts left or right when driving straight, it's a clear sign of misalignment.
- Uneven Tire Wear: Look for worn spots or uneven tread on your tires, which could indicate your wheels are not aligned properly.
- Crooked Steering Wheel: A steering wheel that's off-center while driving straight is a strong indication that your wheels are misaligned.
- Squealing Tires: Misalignment can cause your tires to rub against the road, leading to squealing noises.
- Vibration or Shaking: If your steering wheel shakes or vibrations occur, particularly at higher speeds, your alignment may be the cause.
Catching these issues early can help you avoid costly repairs and improve your vehicle's handling. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with our team in Murphy today to get your alignment checked.
