⚙️ Precision Wheel Alignment Service

Keep Your Drive Straight, Smooth, and Safe

Welcome to the experts in alignment service at Community Auto Center. Proper wheel alignment is essential for maximizing your vehicle’s safety, performance, and tire lifespan. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, our certified technicians ensure your wheels are set precisely to your manufacturer’s specifications.

What is a Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment, also known as tire alignment, involves adjusting the angles of your vehicle’s wheels so they are perfectly parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. This process doesn’t adjust the tires or wheels themselves—it adjusts the suspension system that connects them to your car.

We focus on three primary angles:

• Camber: The inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front. Incorrect camber causes uneven wear on the inner or outer edge of the tire.
• Toe: The extent to which your tires turn inward or outward when viewed from above. This is the most critical angle for tire wear and straight-line tracking.
• Caster: The angle of your steering pivot. Caster impacts high-speed stability and steering effort.

⚠️ Signs You Need a Wheel Alignment

Don’t wait until it’s too late! If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to bring your vehicle to Community Auto Center for an alignment check:

• Your vehicle pulls or drifts to the left or right when driving on a straight, level road.
• Uneven or rapid tire wear (e.g., one side of the tire tread is worn more than the other).
• Your steering wheel is not centered when you are driving straight.
• Vibration or shaking in the steering wheel or through the seat.
• Squealing tires when turning.
• You recently hit a large pothole or curb.

When Should I Get an Alignment?

Most manufacturers recommend a wheel alignment check once per year or every 6,000 to 10,000 miles. You should also schedule an appointment:

• When installing a new set of tires (highly recommended!).
• After replacing any steering or suspension components (e.g., tie rods, ball joints, control arms).
• Any time you notice one of the warning signs above.
