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.
Benefits Of Regular Wheel Alignments
Consistently maintaining proper wheel alignment offers several benefits:
- Improved Tire Longevity: Tires wear evenly when wheels are correctly aligned, resulting in a longer lifespan and reduced replacement costs.
- Better Fuel Efficiency: Proper alignment minimizes rolling resistance, allowing your vehicle to use fuel more efficiently.
- Enhanced Handling & Safety: Vehicle stability might be compromised with misalignment, leading to unsafe driving conditions. Regular alignments improve steering and handling, contributing to safer journeys.
When you choose Christian Brothers Automotive Lakeland Heights for your alignment needs, you ensure your vehicle performs its best, providing peace of mind as you navigate Lakeland.
One often overlooked benefit of regular wheel alignment is the potential for a quieter and more peaceful drive. Misaligned wheels can cause vibrations and road noise, which can permeate the cabin and decrease the comfort of your ride. Maintaining proper alignment also minimizes wear on the suspension and steering components, which means fewer issues and repairs over time, reducing noise and wear and tear on other essential car components.
