What to Expect With an Alignment
1. Schedule Your Appointment
Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.
If you're concerned about the tread on your tires, we recommend the “penny test” to check your tread depth. Simply insert a penny into your tire's tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is less than 2/32 inch and it's time to replace your tires.
Comprehensive Alignment Services for Your Needs
We offer the following wheel alignment services:
- Basic Alignment Check: Quick assessment to determine alignment issues.
- Front-End Alignment: Adjusts the front wheels for straight and balanced driving.
- Four-Wheel Alignment: Ensures all wheels are aligned properly, useful for vehicles with independent suspensions.
- Thrust Angle Alignment: Ensures the rear axle alignment matches the front for accurate steering.
Each type of alignment serves a specific purpose based on your vehicle's design and needs. A front-end alignment is typically carried out on older vehicles with a non-adjustable rear suspension. In contrast, a four-wheel alignment is essential for all-wheel-drive models, ensuring uniform alignment across all wheels.
Choosing the right alignment service can significantly improve your vehicle's handling and extend the life of your suspension components. Our team will guide you through the options based on your car's specifications and current condition.
Why Proper Wheel Alignment Matters in Amarillo
The roads in Amarillo can vary from smooth highways to rugged rural paths, making proper wheel alignment essential for all types of vehicles. Misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and compromised safety. By maintaining correct alignment, you safeguard your investment in your vehicle, enhancing both its lifespan and performance. At Christian Brothers Automotive Amarillo, our goal is to provide you with comprehensive care for a better driving experience.
Amarillo's unique environmental conditions also affect vehicle alignment. Windy weather and dust storms can cause debris to disrupt the smooth operation of your vehicle. Regular alignment checks are vital in such dynamic conditions to ensure that your steering and suspension systems remain in top working order. Being proactive about wheel alignment can prevent inconvenient and potentially dangerous situations on Amarillo's busy streets and highways.
