Volkswagen Wheel Alignment Check near North Olympia, WA

Wheel alignment is not a scheduled maintenance service. Still, it is essential to get alignment checks if your vehicle is pulling toward aside, after significant impacts like hitting a large pothole or curb or installing new tires. We can quickly provide your vehicle with an alignment check using computerized wheel alignment equipment.

Two-Wheel Alignment vs. Four-Wheel Alignment

Two-wheel alignments are given to front-wheel-drive models, while four-wheel alignments are for all-wheel-drive models. The difference between the two services is the vehicle's powertrain style, and the number of wheel positions checked and adjusted.

Why Should I Get Wheel Alignment Service Now?

Wheel alignment ensures that the wheels are aimed in the right direction, and the tread faces the road flatly. Proper alignment to specifications will provide ideal traction between the tires and the road. This yields the benefits of extended tire life, reduced wear and tear on the suspension, smooth-riding, the best traction in adverse conditions, and enhanced safety. Neglecting wheel alignment checks and corrective service will only invite the consequences of wheel alignment neglect.

What Happens When Wheel Alignment is Neglected?

Neglecting wheel alignment has a predictable succession of consequences that begin with a vehicle pulling to one side when trying to drive straight. You will notice that driving with faulty wheel alignment demands that you always fight the wheel as the car wants to veer off the road if you let go. Of course, this is a safety hazard. If this pulling is not corrected, the tires will then show signs of rapid wear. The rapid wear will then cause vibrations in the steering wheel. Continued neglect will ultimately lead to tires losing pressure, with the most significant risk being a blowout while driving.
