You Paid Too Much for Your Tires to Let Wheel Misalignment Get in the Way

When your car left the manufacturing plant, the tires and wheels were aligned to factory tested specifications to promote safe handling and long tire life. But not all roads are kind to your wheels. Through normal use, it's possible to knock your vehicle out of factory alignment.

When you need a wheel alignment, contact TC Auto & Performance, Inc. Our facility features a state-of-the-art, John Bean Alignment System for fast and precise results. That means less time waiting on your end.

Why is Proper Alignment Important?

Proper alignment maximizes tire life and performance, so you get the value you expect when it comes to mileage and fuel economy. When your car is out of alignment, it means the angles (camber, caster, and toe) of the tire-wheel assemblies aren't at the correct specifications. This can cause irregular tire wear and decreased tire performance among other problems.

How Do I Know My Wheels are Out of Alignment?

There are a few signs that indicate alignment problems:

• Tire Wear: If your wheels and tires are unaligned, you may notice uneven tire wear. This is a common problem and one that costs more money over time, because you need to replace your tires sooner than would have been necessary if they were in proper alignment. 
• Handling Trouble: Another sign of an alignment problem is whether or not you're able to keep your vehicle straight. If your car or truck has a tendency to pull to the left or right of the lane when you're trying to keep it straight, you may need a wheel alignment.

A technician can inspect your vehicle to determine whether the problems are alignment related or not.

What Causes Wheels to Go Out of Alignment?

Hitting a pothole hard can cause alignment problems. For older vehicles, component age and wear also play a role. As certain suspension parts become loose, they affect the angles of your tires and wheels.
