Wheel Alignment Near Me

Generally, your vehicle could use a wheel alignment every 6,000 miles, though there are a lot of factors that play into how often you may need one. From your driving habits to the roads you frequent to the climate you live in, you may need a wheel alignment sooner than the standard timeline if you constantly encounter rougher conditions.

It's also important to reference your owner's manual to see what your manufacturer recommends - the service interval given there is the most accurate timetable you can expect for your vehicle, but you should also keep an eye out for any drops in performance or unusual occurrences.

Signs My Car Needs a Wheel Alignment

Because a properly-aligned vehicle tends to speak for itself, it can be relatively easy to spot when your wheels are misaligned. If you constantly shift to another lane without trying to or have a bumpier ride than normal, it's likely that you need wheel alignment service.

Even minor bumps to your wheels or suspension system can ripple into a bigger problem, so make sure you see our Lima service center if you encounter any of the following:

  • Your tires are wearing unevenly
  • Your car, truck or SUV pulls to one side
  • Your vehicle starts to wobble at highway speeds
  • Your steering wheel needs to be adjusted just to drive straight
  • Your tires squeal or squeak
  • Vibrations from your steering wheel
  • Your steering wheel is constantly crooked
