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.
The Value of Accurate Car Alignments
Wheel alignments are critical in vehicle upkeep for Otsego residents. Misalignment can arise from various factors, such as hitting potholes, brushing against curbs, or simply due to wear and tear over time.
Correct alignment offers several key benefits, including:
- Improved Driving Stability: Correct alignment keeps your car stable, reducing the risk of drifting and improving overall safety.
- Increased Tire Longevity: Proper alignment reduces uneven tire wear, extending the life of your tires and saving money.
- Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: An aligned vehicle reduces resistance, improving gas mileage and saving on fuel costs.
Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive Otsego uses state-of-the-art equipment to perform precise alignments, restoring your vehicle to the manufacturer's specifications. This professional attention enhances your driving experience and helps minimize costly future repairs.
The long-term financial benefits of regular wheel alignment cannot be understated. Proper alignment reduces the stress and wear on suspension and steering components, potentially lowering the risk of premature wear and costly repairs. It also means fewer trips to the mechanic for tire replacement, ensuring that your vehicle investment is protected.
