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.
Our Tire Alignment Services in Zionsville
At Christian Brothers Automotive Zionsville, we provide comprehensive tire alignment services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Our team offers both front-end and 4-wheel alignment options to meet the specific needs of your car, whether it requires an alignment for the front tires only or a full four-wheel adjustment.
Front-End vs. 4-Wheel Alignment
Our front-end alignment service is ideal for vehicles with a solid rear axle, where only the front wheels need adjustment. This service aligns the front tires to ensure they’re correctly angled for smooth handling and even wear. For vehicles that require a more complete alignment, we offer 4-wheel alignment. This process adjusts all four tires, ensuring each wheel is aligned according to the precise specifications of your vehicle’s make and model, providing balance and optimal performance on the road.
Alignment Inspection and Adjustment Process
During each alignment service, our ASE-certified technicians perform a thorough inspection of your tires, steering, and suspension components. This allows us to identify any existing issues or misalignments affecting your vehicle’s performance. Using state-of-the-art alignment equipment, we then make precise adjustments to correct any misalignment and restore your vehicle’s proper alignment settings. This process improves handling, extends the life of your tires, and ensures a safe, smooth driving experience.
By choosing Christian Brothers Automotive Zionsville for your alignment needs, you can trust that every alignment is performed with precision and care.
How to Know When You Need an Alignment
Common signs of misalignment include uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that is off-center, and a noticeable pull to one side while driving. You may also feel vibrations in the steering wheel if your alignment is off. If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to bring your car in for an alignment service. Regularly scheduled car alignment services are recommended as part of your vehicle’s routine maintenance, especially after experiencing rough terrain or hitting a pothole. At Christian Brothers Automotive Zionsville, we help you keep track of your vehicle’s alignment needs to ensure it stays safe and in optimal condition.
