Cost Factors & What to Expect for Alignment Services

How Often Should You Schedule Wheel Alignment?

We recommend drivers in Smyrna schedule alignment checks every year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Local roads handle heavy traffic and see frequent weather shifts, which can impact your wheels’ angles. If you regularly drive through construction zones or feel your steering start to vibrate, book an alignment check sooner. Staying ahead of these changes helps keep your tires in top shape and your drive smoother, especially when spring storms and summer heat change the road surface conditions.

Do I Need a Front-End Wheel Alignment?

Front-end alignment adjusts your car’s front wheels so you get better steering and handling. If you notice uneven tire wear on the front tires or the steering wheel vibrates, a front-end alignment may help. This service improves safety and makes your ride smoother by adjusting the camber, caster, and toe angles on the front wheels.

Front-end alignment works well for vehicles with solid rear axles or rear suspensions that can't be adjusted, making it a budget-friendly choice compared to a full four-wheel alignment. Many drivers come in for front-end alignment after replacing tie rods, ball joints, or control arms, letting those new parts perform as they should.

We guide you through what we’ll check and adjust each step of the way. Our team inspects your vehicle’s suspension and steering before we start, so every factor that could affect your alignment in Smyrna gets attention. In this area, frequent city traffic and parking lot curbs can cause new issues, so we look for signs of these problems that may not turn up right away.

DIY Alignment Checks

Between professional services, checking your car’s alignment can help you spot issues early and drive safely. Being proactive about your vehicle's health can prevent expensive, long-term damage.

  • Uneven Tire Wear: Look for signs of uneven wear on your tires, which often indicates an alignment problem.
  • Off-Center Steering Wheel: If your steering wheel is off-center when driving in a straight line, it's a clear sign you need an alignment.
  • Pulling: A car that pulls to one side on straight roads or feels loose may have alignment issues.

If you drive in Smyrna, stay alert for dips or sharp curves where alignment problems tend to develop faster. Rainy weather and summer heat can make existing potholes worse. After any major weather shift—or when you notice changes in how your car handles—review your alignment or reach out to our team for a professional assessment.

Don't wait for a small issue to become a major repair. Schedule your wheel alignment service with our certified professionals today. Call us at (678) 996-1767 or book your appointment online

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 can I tell if my car needs an alignment or tire balancing?

If your car pulls to the side, your steering wheel looks crooked, or you feel a vibration, you might need an alignment. If you notice uneven tire wear or shaking at high speeds, ask about both alignment and tire balancing during your appointment.

Will wheel alignment fix uneven tire wear from potholes?

Proper alignment helps stop new uneven tire wear after driving over potholes or rough spots common around Smyrna. Severe wear may mean you need new tires. We’ll check your tires and explain your options.

Do I need a four-wheel alignment or just a front-end alignment?

Most modern vehicles benefit from a four-wheel alignment. Front-end alignment works for cars with solid rear axles or non-adjustable rear suspension. Our team recommends the best option for your vehicle setup during your visit.

How long does a wheel alignment typically take? 

Most alignments are completed in about an hour. However, the exact time depends on your vehicle's condition and the extent of the adjustments needed. We'll give you a clear time estimate when you come in.

Is a wheel alignment covered by a warranty? 

Eligible wheel alignments are typically covered by our industry-leading warranty. We'll provide you with all the details on coverage and duration before any service begins, giving you peace of mind.
