Proper alignment of your steering and suspension is crucial to the way your vehicle handles and also crucial to proper tire wear.  We always perform a test drive and thorough inspection of your steering and suspension before performing your alignment.  If no problems are found, we then utilize the latest alignment equipment and one of our experienced mechanics to set your alignment to the manufacturer’s recommended specifications.  Not all alignment mechanics are created equal.  It is important to use an alignment mechanic that takes their time to make all adjustments available.
