Wheel Alignment

Wheel Alignment ServiceCenter

Running over a curb or a large pothole can cause your car’s wheels to go out of alignment. If this happens, you’ll notice the vehicle pulling to one side. Wheels that aren’t properly aligned will cause the tire treads to wear unevenly, shortening their life. If you live in Warrenton, wheel alignment is quick and easy when you take your car to the experts at the Ocean Crest Chevrolet Service Center. The tires will last longer, and you’ll have more control on the road.

If the wheels are out of alignment, the steering and suspension systems aren’t operating at the proper angles. When you take your car, truck, SUV, or van to the Ocean Crest Chevrolet Service Center for a wheel alignment, our certified service technicians will measure the suspension and steering components using state-of-the-art technology. They’ll adjust the angles to the manufacturer’s specifications. Your vehicle will drive straight, you’ll get a smooth ride, the car’s tires will wear evenly, and it will get better fuel economy.

When you bring your car to the Ocean Crest Chevrolet Service Center for a wheel alignment in Warrenton, our service technicians will also check and adjust the front and rear steering, the suspension system, the condition of the tires, and the tire air pressure.

The general rule is to get a wheel alignment after replacing steering or suspension mechanisms or if the vehicle has experienced a severe driving event. Check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations.

If your wheels are out of alignment, you’ll notice one or more of the following problems:

• Vibrations while driving
• Uneven tire wear
• Squealing tires
• Loose handling
• Pulling to the left or right
• Steering wheel that’s not centered when you’re driving straight

If your car needs a wheel alignment, take care of it immediately. Driving a vehicle that doesn’t ride straight is dangerous. It can also cause one of the following types of tire damage:

• Cup Wear: The tires get cupped dips along the inside or outside edge of the tread.
• One-side Wear: The inner or outer ribs of the tire wear out more quickly than the rest of the tire.
• Feathering: The tread ribs develop a sharp edge on one side and a rounded edge on the other.
