Why Alignments Matter!

European Auto Repair Ann Arbor


Did you know it’s wheel alignment season? Why should you care about an alignment? Why do alignments matter? Let’s find out!

If your wheel alignment is really bad, you’ll notice it when you drive. You’ll be fighting with the wheel to keep your car going straight down the road. Quit fighting your car and enjoy easier driving when you fix your car’s alignment!

 

Alignments have many benefits including:

 

1.     Tire longevity – get the most out of your tires and extend their lifespan when you make sure they’re aligned.

2.     Improved handling and performance – you won’t be fighting your wheel anymore and you’ll notice your steering improve. 

3.     Enhanced safety – Misaligned tires can veer off course, making it challenging to stay in control, especially during inclement weather like rain and snow.

4.     Prevent costly repairs – neglecting a wheel alignment can lead to suspension and steering component issues down the road. Prevent costly repairs, a wheel alignment will protect your investment and is great preventative maintenance.

 

“I had some new tires put on (not at ArborMotion!) but I did not do an alignment. My tires should have lasted at least a couple of years since I don't do much driving, but about a year after I had them put on they were already so worn down in some spots that they were dangerous. So I had to pay for two new tires, again, much quicker than I expected. Lesson learned - get the alignment checked after putting on new tires, and after any long trips or hitting any big bumps! My bank account will thank me for being proactive in the future.”

What should you prepare for? Ask yourself the following questions to make sure you’re prepared:

 

1.     Are you due for an oil change? Oil changes are the simplest way to maintain your car’s performance and properly lubricate your engine.

2.     Are your brakes in good health? If you’re experiencing braking issues, it’s important to get your brakes inspected before a big road trip.

3.     When was the last time you checked your tire pressure? Overinflated and under-inflated tires can cause steering issues and uneven wear and tear on your tires. Stay safe on the road by double checking your tire pressure. It only takes a couple of minutes! 

4.     Are your windshield wipers streaking or noisy? It may be time to replace your wiper blades. It’s also important to make sure your sprayers are working, and your windshield washer fluid is topped off. 

5.     Is your vehicle comfortable for pets? It is safer for your dog to be properly restrained during travel. There are several doggy seatbelt options available or consider a crate or cage for longer trips.
