Routine maintenance is essential for keeping your vehicle in good condition and preventing significant problems. The most available services include oil change, tire balance, and tire rotation. However, neglecting the front end can lead to several problems. Everything from your oil to your tires to your alignment should be checked regularly and taken care of accordingly.
If you notice any of the following signs - uneven wear on the front tires, your vehicle pulling, or your steering wheel not being centered - it might be time for a front-end alignment. If the following are true, it may be time for a front-end alignment: uneven wear on the front tires, vehicle pulling, or steering wheel not centered. Our service team is composed of certified ASE Master technicians. Regardless of the service needed, our technicians will provide you with quality service at all Auffenberg locations.
The main difference between a wheel alignment and a front-end alignment is the area of focus. In a front-end alignment, the service focuses on the front wheels. The process for both services is the same, but a front-end alignment pays more attention to the wheels in the front. To align a vehicle, the mechanic must take several measurements and perform specific tasks. Ensure the alignment is accurate; machines are usually used instead of people. This method helps to avoid potential human error.
Depending on your vehicle's make and model and the misalignment's severity, front-end alignments can take between 30 minutes to an hour to complete. On average, front-end alignments cost between $75 and $200. Mechanics generally suggest getting a front-end alignment check at 50,000 miles.
However, getting wheel alignment is vital to taking care of your tires since misaligned wheels often cause uneven and premature tire wear. Visit us at any Auffenberg location to learn the advantages of front-end alignment services and how to increase the lifespan of the tires.
