Why do clients need wheel alignments for their Geelong vehicles?

Getting professionals to carry out wheel alignments in Geelong is an important ‘health check’ to keep your vehicle running safely and efficiently.

Wheel alignment refers to measuring and adjusting the wheels’ angles to meet specifications set by the vehicle manufacturer. When alignment is spot on, your tyres create less resistance. And that can save you money and boost your safety.

Geelong Tyre and Auto’s expert team carries out wheel alignments for a host of vehicles including cars, small trucks and caravans. It’s a core part of our business and we know just how important it is to get the alignment right.

When your wheels are misaligned, the problems can start mounting. You’ll find every trip behind the wheel can cost you more in terms of reduced fuel efficiency and wear and tear to tyres and suspension components. But it’s not just a question of cost, it’s also a real safety issue that impacts handling and the distance it takes to brake.

Clients can look for signs including:

• The vehicle is pulling to either side of the road when in motion;
• There are signs of uneven wear on the tyres;
• The vehicle can shake and vibrate;
• And there are strange sounds including rubbing noises.

But you shouldn’t wait until there’s a problem to request this type of service from your mechanic. Schedule it in regularly – about every 10,000 kilometres or six months is a good habit to get into.

Our professional team will always inspect your wheel alignment in Geelong, whenever you bring your vehicle in for new tyres, repairs or tyre fitting. It’s part of the service. But you can also book in your vehicle for a specific alignment service if you suspect there is an issue.
