Wheel Alignment

If your car's wheels are not properly aligned, it can significantly affect your driving comfort and safety on the road. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven and rapid tyre wear, as well as poor fuel economy. At C&A Motors, our expert technicians offer a top-class wheel alignment service to ensure your vehicle feels its best. We carefully adjust the position of each wheel, promoting even wear and extending the life of your tires and suspension. We recommend checking your wheel alignment annually as part of your regular maintenance to keep your car in optimal condition for the road ahead.

​

The typical signs of incorrect wheel tracking alignment are:

• Uneven or feathered tyre wear

• Steering wheel vibration

• Drag or pulling

• Audible distress while turning corners

Wheel Alignment Benefits

There are many benefits of car wheel alignment, including an improvement in your car’s handling, so you can negotiate turns smoother and easier. Spending a small amount on the wheel alignment cost at C&A Motors will help you save money in the long term, as you will not have to replace your tyres as often, which can sometimes be much more expensive than the simple wheel alignment service we offer at C&A Motors.

Also known as wheel tracking, wheel alignment makes more adjustments to your car, providing a better all-round service.

Here's a more detailed look at the advantages:

​

Improved Handling:

• Reduced Drifting:

  Misaligned wheels can cause your vehicle to pull to one side, requiring constant steering correction. Proper alignment eliminates this issue, making driving easier and more comfortable. 

• Better Steering Response:

  Aligned wheels make your car more responsive to steering inputs, providing a more controlled and predictable driving experience, especially on winding roads or at higher speeds. 

Extended Tire Life: 

• Even Tire Wear:

  Wheel alignment ensures that all tires make even contact with the road surface, preventing uneven wear patterns like cupping or feathering.

• Reduced Replacement Frequency:

  By preventing premature wear, alignment helps extend the life of your tires, saving you money on replacements.

Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: 

• Reduced Rolling Resistance: Misaligned wheels increase rolling resistance, requiring more energy to move the vehicle. Proper alignment minimizes this resistance, leading to better fuel economy.

Increased Safety: 

• Improved Stability:

  Aligned wheels enhance vehicle stability, especially during braking and cornering, reducing the risk of skidding or loss of control.

• Reduced Accident Risk:

  By improving handling and stability, wheel alignment contributes to a safer driving experience, minimizing the potential for accidents.

Other Benefits:

• Reduced Driver Fatigue:

  A vehicle that pulls to one side requires constant steering adjustments, which can lead to driver fatigue. Proper alignment eliminates this, making for a more relaxed driving experience. 

• Protection of Suspension and Steering Components:

  Misalignment can put extra stress on suspension and steering components. Proper alignment helps protect these systems, potentially preventing costly repairs. 

• Reduced Environmental Impact:

  By improving fuel efficiency, wheel alignment contributes to reduced fuel consumption and, consequently, a smaller environmental footprint.
