Wheel Alignment and Tracking Services

Balanced and correctly aligned wheels can improve steering and handling, increase fuel efficiency and prolong the life of your tyres. An IN‘n’OUT Wheel Alignment service will help keep your vehicle on the road longer and provide a more comfortable ride

Is your vehicle pulling to one side?

Potholes, rough roads and the occasional hitting of a curb don’t just make for an uncomfortable ride; they can knock your wheels out of correct alignment. Misaligned wheels can pull your vehicle to one side and cause you to constantly correct your steering. If your vehicle pulls to one side consistently, especially when you apply your brakes, this can be because of an alignment issue.

Lack of correct alignment can also cause an annoying vibration or “shimmy” in the steering wheel rack. When your vehicles wheels are out of alignment, the tyres will wear out unevenly and more quickly, and will not grip the road properly, especially in bad weather. If left unchecked, misaligned wheels can cost you time, money and headaches.

Extend Tyre Life and Improve Performance with a Wheel Alignment Check

Regular wheel alignment checks for your car or van can significantly extend tyre lifespan, by as much as 12,000 miles, while also boosting fuel efficiency and resolving common steering problems. Our alignment service ensures your wheels are correctly positioned, helping to prevent premature tyre wear and reduce the risk of steering or suspension issues down the road. Our full 4 wheel laser alignment service is performed within 60 minutes and applies to any vehicle make or model.

What’s Included with a front Wheel Alignment Service

Front wheel alignment refers to the adjustment of the angles of a vehicle's front wheels so they are set to the car manufacturer's specifications. This ensures the vehicle drives straight and handles properly.

It typically involves adjusting three main angles:

Toe - The direction the front wheels point relative to each other. If they're angled inward or outward too much, it can cause uneven tyre wear and poor handling.

Camber - The tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front of the vehicle. If it's too far inward (negative) or outward (positive), it can affect tyre contact with the road.

Caster - The angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle. It affects steering stability and cornering.

In short: Front wheel alignment ensures your car drives straight, your steering feels stable, and your tyres wear evenly. It's especially important if you've hit a pothole, a curb, or if your steering feels off-centre or pulls to one side.

What’s Included with a full 4 Wheel Laser Alignment Service

Our full 4 wheel alignment service is performed within 60 minutes and applies to any vehicle make or model and involves adjusting all four wheels of your vehicle so they’re aligned to the manufacturer’s specifications. This service is more comprehensive than a front-end (2-wheel) alignment and is especially important for vehicles with independent rear suspension or all-wheel drive.

How often should you check wheel alignment?

Vehicle manufacturers recommend that Alignment, Drivetrain and Suspension are checked at the same time as an Oil change. However, because many Alignment issues are often the result of a specific incident, such as driving over a pot hole or hitting a curb, it is better to be safe and have your vehicles wheel alignment checked immediately after the incident.
