Wheel Alignment in Denver, CO
South Denver Automotive offers comprehensive Denver auto repairs and services, including wheel alignment. When your vehicle’s tires are not properly aligned, as specified by the automobile manufacturer, you need to look for a “mechanic near me” to get the tire alignment. If you choose to put off this task, your vehicle will experience accelerated tire wear, and you will experience less control over the vehicle, and mileage may suffer as well. The process is gradual, so sometimes we don’t even notice it at first. But as your car starts to pull to a side while travelling on a level road, or you notice steering wheel vibrations, it will be obvious that something needs to be done – and wheel alignment is the likely solution. Naturally, when you bring your vehicle to South Denver Automotive, we will inspect your car, and verify that wheel alignment is indeed necessary. Sometimes the symptoms listed above can be due to other factors, that’s why at our Denver auto repair shop your car is serviced by highly experienced mechanics, certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.
SYMPTOMS THAT YOUR CAR NEEDS WHEEL ALIGNMENT
You could notice any of the following symptoms that indicate a need for wheel alignment:
- Uneven tire wear – depending on the nature of the misalignment, there are different tire wear patterns that can be identified: toe wear, feathering, camber wear, or diagonal wipe. You may also see that tread wear on the two front or two rear tires differs.
- Pulling to the right or left - On a level road, while aiming the steering wheel straight, your car pulls to one side.
- Vibrations when driving - misaligned tires can also cause noticeable vibrations.
Our Denver auto care facility offers comprehensive tire and wheel alignment services. We recommend yearly wheel alignment check, especially if your destinations often involve driving on roads full of potholes. Sometimes, something so seemingly benign as bumping into a curb can put the wheels out of alignment. If the wheels are misaligned, your vehicle’s tires will experience accelerated tire wear and your wallet will have to incur tire replacement expenses sooner than it would otherwise. To extend tire life, we also recommend regular tire rotations – usually every 6 months.
