Signs You Need a Wheel Alignment
The car pulls to one side when you let go of the wheel on a straight, level road
Your tires are wearing unevenly, with one edge or one side scrubbed down faster
The steering wheel sits crooked when you are driving straight ahead
The car wanders or feels loose, and you make constant small corrections to stay straight
You hit a hard pothole or curb, or had suspension or steering work done recently
A squealing from the tires on turns, or the car feels twitchy at highway speed
New tires that are already showing odd wear after only a few thousand miles
The steering feels heavier on one side, or does not return to center smoothly after a turn

Specialty Wheel Alignment for European and Japanese Vehicles
Import suspensions are more sensitive to alignment than most cars, and our wheel alignment service in Salt Lake City is set up for that. Many European and Japanese vehicles have adjustments at all four wheels and tight factory tolerances, so the alignment has to be done to the exact specification, not eyeballed. Getting the angles right is what makes the steering feel precise, keeps the car planted at speed, and gets the full life out of a set of tires.
European Alignment & Steering
European vehicles from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, and Volvo are built for precise handling, and that depends on a very accurate alignment. Many use multi-link suspensions with adjustments at all four wheels, and some performance models specify slightly different settings for sport handling. We align to the factory numbers for the toe, camber, and caster (the three angles that aim each wheel) and check the control arms, tie rods, and bushings first, because a worn part will not hold an alignment no matter how carefully it is set. Setting a German chassis to its real specification is what brings back that planted, connected steering feel these cars are known for.
Japanese Alignment & Steering
Japanese vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti are known for predictable, easy handling, and a correct alignment keeps them that way while protecting the tires. Many models, including most Subarus and all-wheel-drive vehicles, need a true four-wheel alignment so the front and rear track together, and getting that wrong wears tires quickly and hurts fuel economy. We set the toe, camber, and caster to each model's factory specification and inspect the steering and suspension parts that affect them, so the car drives straight, steers cleanly, and gets the mileage out of its tires that it should.
Our Wheel Alignment Process
-
Complete Visual Inspection: We start with a full look at the car. Ride height, tire condition, and anything obvious that would throw off an alignment get checked before the car goes on the rack.
-
Suspension & Steering Check: Worn tie rods, ball joints, control-arm bushings, and wheel bearings are inspected first, because an alignment will not hold on worn parts. We tell you what we find before any work.
-
Tire & Pressure Inspection: Tires are set to the correct pressure and checked for uneven wear, since both directly affect the alignment readings and how the car drives afterward.
-
Computerized Alignment: Your vehicle goes on a modern computer alignment machine that measures the exact angle of all four wheels against the factory specification for your make and model.
-
Adjust to Factory Spec: We adjust the toe, camber, and caster to the carmaker's exact numbers, all-wheel where the vehicle allows it, so the car tracks straight and the tires wear evenly.
-
Final Road Test: Your vehicle is road tested to confirm it drives straight, the steering wheel is centered, and the steering feels right before you get the keys back.
