Overview
A kerb, a pothole or a worn steering part is all it takes to knock your wheels out of line. Once they're out, tyres wear on one edge, the car pulls to one side and the steering wheel sits off-centre. We measure and set camber, caster and toe to the manufacturer's figures, then balance the wheels so there's no shake through the steering at motorway speed. If the alignment won't hold because a part underneath is worn, we'll show you rather than just wind it back into spec.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know my car needs an alignment?
The usual signs are the car pulling to one side, the steering wheel sitting crooked when you're driving straight, or tyres wearing faster on one edge.
Should I get an alignment with new tyres?
It's worth it. An alignment is cheap next to a set of tyres, and it stops the new ones wearing out the same way the old ones did.
My steering wheel shakes at 100km/h. Is that alignment?
Usually that's wheel balance rather than alignment. We'll check both and tell you which it is.
