If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment typically takes about one hour for both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, if significant wear is found in suspension components such as bushings, tie rods, or steering and suspension parts, additional repairs may be required, which can extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can have a negative impact on tire life, vehicle handling, and fuel efficiency. Even minor alignment issues that are difficult to see with the naked eye can cause uneven tire wear over time. To avoid premature tire replacement and maintain safe driving conditions, it is recommended to have your alignment checked approximately every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a wheel alignment, technicians examine three primary alignment angles: camber, toe, and caster. Camber measures the inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front, toe measures how much the tires point inward or outward, and caster measures the steering axis angle. These measurements are adjusted to manufacturer specifications to improve handling, tire wear, and overall driving performance.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes. Having an alignment performed after replacing tires helps ensure the tires meet the road at the proper angles. Correct alignment promotes even tread wear, improves handling, increases fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and enhances overall driving safety and comfort.

Testimonials
Bruce Theobald, 05/20/2026
It was so absolutely refreshing to see a service team performing at a towering level, the hospitality was so much better than expected. Everyone on the team had a can -do attitude with great intentionality! I was amazed at the prospect of having my old beater GMC pick-up diagnosed and repaired the very same day that I had it towed to the shop. Kevin the service advisor met me before I even entered the building and said "come-on in the office and have a seat, I`ll get your truck diagnosed ASAP and we can get started on it "! ...Wow ! I thought it might be days before I had a diagnosis given the time line that a dealership might follow. Well in only a short time the Team was on it, I was advised of the issue and even given the opportunity to observe the complications of working on a 27 year old auto. The service Tech Anthony was amazing, taking special care to break the parts loose without destroying severely rusted fittings, saving me money and enabling the Team to meet the estimated and unexpected time line of getting me back on the road Today ! If you need your car repaired I surely recommend Skip`s Auto .
