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.
Our Comprehensive Wheel Alignment Services
Whether you're in need of a front-end alignment, a four-wheel alignment, or even a specialized thrust angle alignment, our ASE-certified technicians are equipped to handle it. Using manufacturer-quality equipment, we ensure your car runs smoothly and efficiently, highlighting our commitment to integrity and exceptional customer care.
Each type of alignment addresses specific vehicle needs, tailored to ensure maximum stability and reduced wear and tear on your tires and suspension. A front-end alignment adjusts only the front wheels, ideal for minimizing tire wear. Four-wheel alignment, however, is crucial for vehicles with adjustable rear suspensions that need all wheels checked and aligned, most beneficial for pinpoint steering control and extending tire lifespan. Lastly, thrust angle alignment realigns the rear wheels relative to the vehicle's centerline, perfect for straight-tracking problems. Our approach in Irving ensures your car matches the unique driving environments of the region, from city streets to suburban roadways.
Importance of Proper Wheel Alignment
Key benefits include:
- Improved Safety: Proper alignment helps maintain control, especially during emergency maneuvers.
- Increased Tire Longevity: Even tire wear leads to longer tire life and better performance.
- Better Fuel Efficiency: Reduced rolling resistance means your vehicle consumes less fuel.
Additionally, proper wheel alignment reduces strain on vehicle suspension components, lessening the risk of unexpected damage and costly repairs. Regularly aligned wheels also minimize steering column vibrations, which can compromise driver comfort and vehicle safety.
Our mission is to not only address instances of misalignment but also to provide long-term solutions through informed maintenance planning, ultimately delivering a smoother and safer driving experience on all Irving roads.
