Your vehicles alignment is probably not something that the average driver notices when it is tuned properly. However, when your vehicles alignment is off, that can mean that your steering is pulled to one side, the wheel vibrates when running, some tires may be worn unevenly, and your gas mileage is much lower.
The common causes of vehicle alignment problems include collisions, driving for long stretches on rough terrain, failing to have your tires rotated regularly and other suspension issues. Rather than aligning the tires, our expert mechanics tune the vehicle suspension system, including the specific angle of each tire.
Tire balancing is a separate service from wheel alignment, but they are often performed at the same service visit. They are both necessary maintenance services for your car. Feel free to ask our helpful service department at Honda of Ames if your vehicle may need a wheel alignment.
