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.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Wheel Alignment
Recognizing the warning signs of wheel misalignment can prevent significant issues down the line.
Here are some common indicators that your vehicle might need attention:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Inspect your tires regularly. Uneven wear patterns often point to a misalignment, affecting the tires' lifespan.
- Pulling to the Side: If your vehicle veers to one side even when driving on a straight road, it might indicate alignment issues.
- Steering Wheel Off-Center: An off-center steering wheel is a clear sign of misalignment.
Not addressing these signs can lead to further wear and tear on your vehicle, impacting performance and safety. Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive Greenwood is ready to provide comprehensive checks and tire alignments tailored to your vehicle's specific needs.
Another symptom of misalignment is unusual vibrations through the steering wheel, a sensation that can be annoying and dangerous. This vibration often signifies uneven distribution of your vehicle’s weight across the tires, something that our alignment services can accurately correct. Being proactive about this can prevent tire blowouts and improve overall ride quality, offering confidence when navigating Greenwood’s diverse road conditions.
