Tire Alignment and Tire Rotation Services

Wheel Alignment and Tire Adjustments

Ensure your tires are in optimal condition with precise alignment services at Hill's Auto Repair. Properly aligned tires not only extend their lifespan but also enhance your vehicle's handling by preventing it from "pulling" to one side. Our certified tire specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously inspect your tires for signs of uneven wear, cracking, or slow leaks.

If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Benefits of a Professional Wheel Alignment

Regular wheel alignments offer a range of benefits that keep your vehicle in optimal condition:

  • Improved Safety: Proper alignment enhances handling, reducing the risk of accidents.
  • Increased Tire Life: Evenly aligned wheels prevent premature tire wear, saving you money in the long run.
  • Better Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels can increase rolling resistance, causing higher fuel consumption.
  • Smoother Driving Experience: Alignment issues can cause vibrations or pulling; fixing them restores comfort on the road.

Alignment FAQs


How long does a full alignment take?

A wheel alignment usually takes about an hour for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. However, if there is significant wear and tear on suspension components like bushings, track rods, or the alignment system itself, replacement parts may be needed, which could extend the service time.

What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?

Delaying a wheel alignment can negatively affect your tire performance and lifespan. Even slight misalignments, which are imperceptible to the eye but measurable in small degrees or fractions of an inch, can cause uneven and premature tire wear. Over time, this wear becomes more noticeable, impacting safety and fuel efficiency. To prevent these issues, it's recommended to have your alignment checked every 6,000 miles.

What is checked during an alignment?

During a tire alignment, three key angles are examined: camber, toe, and caster. Camber refers to the angle between the vertical axis of the tire and a line perpendicular to the road surface when viewed from the front. If the top of the tire tilts inward, creating an "X" shape between the wheels, it's known as negative camber, which can cause excessive wear on the inner edge of the tire due to increased friction.

Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?

Yes, you do! Proper wheel alignment ensures that the angles between your tires and the road surface are accurate, which helps to maximize tire life, improve handling, and ensure even tread wear. This not only boosts fuel efficiency and driving safety but also enhances your overall driving experience.

Don't let uneven tire wear diminish the longevity of your tires. Experience a fast and cost-effective tire alignment at our shop in Bushwood. Call us today at 301-769-2400 to schedule an appointment.
