Hit a pothole on Dunlop Street lately? Barrie roads knock alignments out constantly, and even a small misalignment scrubs off tire life and fuel economy every kilometre. Our computerized four-wheel alignment machine measures your vehicle against factory specs and we adjust it back to exactly where it should be.
An alignment is one of the cheapest ways to protect one of your biggest maintenance investments: your tires. It pays for itself in tread life alone.
Signs you need an alignment
- Vehicle pulls or drifts to one side on a flat road
- Steering wheel is off-centre when driving straight
- Uneven or feathered tire wear
- Squealing tires in normal corners
- You recently hit a pothole or curb, or had suspension work done
What's included
- Computerized four-wheel alignment
- Steering and suspension inspection before adjustment
- Toe, camber, and caster set to factory specification
- Steering wheel centred
- Recommended after new tires or suspension repairs
Wheel Alignment questions, answered
How often should I get an alignment?
Once a year is a good rule in Barrie, plus any time you get new tires, hit a serious pothole, or notice pulling or uneven wear.
How long does a wheel alignment take?
Usually about an hour if nothing is seized or worn. If we find a worn part that makes alignment impossible, we'll advise you and quote it before doing anything.
Will an alignment fix my steering wheel vibration?
Vibration is usually balance, a bent rim, or a worn part rather than alignment. Pulling and uneven wear point to alignment. Either way, we'll diagnose it properly first.
