How we handle it

We align on Hunter equipment and set camber, caster and toe to manufacturer specification, then give you the before-and-after numbers so you can see what changed. If the alignment won’t hold, something in the suspension is worn, usually the ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings or struts, which we repair with Moog, Monroe and KYB components.

We also mount, balance and rotate, and we’ll read your existing tires for you. Inside-edge wear, feathering and cupping each point to a specific problem, and it’s worth fixing before new tires wear out the same way.

Common questions

How often should I get an alignment?

Once a year is a reasonable habit, and any time you fit new tires, hit a serious pothole, or have suspension work done.

Two wheels or four?

Four-wheel alignment on nearly everything modern. We’ll tell you if your vehicle is one of the exceptions.

Do you sell tires?

Come see us with what you’re after and we’ll sort out the right tire and get it mounted and balanced.

Will an alignment fix my vibration?

Not usually. Vibration at speed is normally balance, a bent wheel, or a tire coming apart. We’ll find which.
