Understanding Wheel Alignment and Its Importance
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. Proper alignment ensures that your tires wear evenly, your car handles well, and your driving experience remains safe and smooth.
Misalignment of wheels can cause uneven tire wear, reduce fuel efficiency, and lead to a rougher ride, which is why alignment checks are essential for maintaining your car.
