Wheel Alignment
Better handling. Even tyre wear. A straighter drive.
At Waipapa Auto Repairs, we now offer professional wheel alignment services using our new wheel alignment equipment.
Your vehicle's wheels need to sit at specific angles to ensure your tyres make proper contact with the road. Over time, those angles can change through everyday driving, hitting potholes or kerbs, or following steering and suspension repairs.
A wheel alignment checks these angles and, where adjustment is possible, brings them back within the manufacturer's specifications.
Why is a wheel alignment important?
Correct wheel alignment helps your vehicle drive straight, handle properly and maintain even tyre wear.
Over time, everyday driving, potholes, kerbs and bumps can cause your wheel alignment to change. When your wheels aren't correctly aligned, it can affect the way your vehicle drives and can cause your tyres to wear unevenly or more quickly.
A wheel alignment can help:
-
Extend tyre life by reducing uneven and premature tyre wear
-
Improve handling and steering for a smoother, more controlled drive
-
Prevent your vehicle pulling to one side
-
Keep your steering wheel centred when driving straight
-
Ensure your tyres sit correctly on the road for optimal contact
-
If you've noticed uneven tyre wear, your vehicle pulling to one side, or your steering wheel sitting off-centre, it may be time to have your wheel alignment checked.
