What’s included

An alignment check helps you understand whether your vehicle’s wheel angles need attention. It is a useful starting point after a tire purchase, a noticeable impact or a change in steering feel. A check and an alignment adjustment are separate services; your store can explain the findings and next steps.

  • Describe the change

    Explain when the vehicle pulls, whether the steering wheel sits off-center and any recent impact.
  • Review measurements

    Ask the advisor how the measured angles compare with the vehicle’s specifications.
  • Choose the next step

    An alignment adjustment or repair is separate from the check and should be authorized after the estimate.

How it works

An alignment check is a practical starting point when the steering feels different, tires show unusual wear or you have just fitted a new set. The check helps you and the advisor decide whether an adjustment or another inspection is the next step.

  1. A hatchback rolling onto an alignment rack, guided by a technician

    Step 1: Onto the alignment rack

    Your vehicle is driven onto the rack with its front wheels on turn plates.
  2. Alignment cameras facing the targets on a car’s wheels

    Step 2: Every wheel measured

    The alignment system reads each wheel’s angles and compares them with your vehicle’s specifications.
  3. A technician pointing to a reading on a tablet beside a car

    Step 3: See the readings, then decide

    Your advisor shows which angles are in or out of range. An adjustment is a separate service, done only if you approve it.
