Wheel Alignments

A wheel alignment is an adjustment to the vehicle’s suspension system and is an essential part of car maintenance. The alignment process refers to an adjustment of a vehicle’s suspension, the system that connects a vehicle to its wheels. Unaligned wheels cause uneven wear, handling, and steering issues, resulting in uncomfortable and potentially dangerous driving. The most common signs that your car needs to be aligned are uneven tire wear and a pull to one side when driving. Cassidy Tire & Service offers wheel alignments for all makes and models. Our qualified technicians use the latest diagnostic tools and advanced alignment technology to ensure your vehicle is aligned to the manufacturer's specifications.

Our Alignment Service

Our alignment service begins with a FREE alignment check, which will determine if your alignment is within specifications or not. The key to a proper alignment is making adjustments to the angles of the tires relative to the vehicle, to ensure they they are making proper contact with the road. These angles are called: camber, caster and toe. Exactly what is Camber,Caster and Toe?

• Camber refers to the inward and outward tilt of each wheel
• Caster is the angle produced by the steering system’s pivot point from the front to the back of the car
• Toe is the inward or outward angle of the wheels

In addition, our technician will inspect front and rear steering and suspension systems, tires and air pressure and provide readings. If adjustments are necessary, our technicians will share the results and make them in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and drive the vehicle before closing out the service.

Benefits of having your wheels aligned properly.

• Improved tire life – Misalignment is a significant cause of uneven tire wear that causes premature damage. Ensuring your wheels are in proper alignment can significantly extend the life of your tires.
• Improved MPG  – Misaligned wheels have higher fuel consumption as their wheels drag instead of roll along the road surface. Correctly aligning the wheels reduces resistance and increases fuel economy.
• Environmentally friendly – Improved fuel consumption and lower tire wear reduce your carbon footprint by emitting less CO2 emissions.
• Save money – By extending the life of your tires and improving your fuel consumption, correct alignment will help lower your driving costs.
• Safer handling – Correctly aligned wheels can help correct many handling problems and deliver a safer and more enjoyable driving experience.
