Driving without proper wheel alignment costs you money. It decreases gas mileage, shortens your tires’ lives, and stresses your vehicle’s steering equipment and structure. Driving without proper alignment also puts you at risk. An out-of-alignment car pulls and drifts away from a straight road and may cause an accident. Excessive tire wear—another result of bad car alignment—leads to tire blow-outs and poor traction, which also cause accidents.


How do you know it’s time for a tire alignment? It’s important to rotate your tires at regular intervals, but additional warning signs like steering wheel vibration and uneven tire tread will show you’re past due. Before your tires become a liability, schedule a wheel alignment service with the Chapel Hill tire professionals.

  • Even Tire Wear: Misaligned wheels cause uneven tire wear, leading to premature tire replacement and compromising vehicle performance and safety. 
  • Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels increase rolling resistance, causing your vehicle to consume more fuel. Regular alignment checks help maintain optimal fuel efficiency and reduce fuel costs. 
  • Extended Tire Lifespan: Proper alignment prevents unnecessary tire wear, prolonging the lifespan of your tires and saving you money on replacements. 
  • Safety: Misaligned wheels affect steering responsiveness and stability, increasing the risk of accidents, especially during emergency maneuvers or adverse road conditions. 
  • Preventive Maintenance: Biannual alignment checks allow mechanics to detect and correct alignment issues early, preventing potential damage to other suspension components. 
  • Smooth Ride: Correctly aligned wheels contribute to a smoother and more comfortable ride, reducing vibrations and noise inside the vehicle. 

By prioritizing biannual wheel alignment checks, you ensure that your vehicle operates safely, efficiently, and with optimal performance, ultimately saving you time and money in the long run.
