Wheel alignment adjusts the angle of your wheels to match the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring they roll straight and parallel. Misalignment causes uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, steering wheel vibration, and poor handling. Common causes include hitting potholes, curbs, or normal wear over time.

A professional alignment check and adjustment improves safety, extends tire life, and restores comfortable handling. It's especially helpful if you've hit something hard or notice pulling or uneven wear.
