Not all wheel alignments are the same, so it’s crucial to find an alignment shop that can determine what fix best fits your needs. These are the three main types of tire alignments:
In a “standard” or front-end alignment, we will adjust your car’s front tires to ensure they’re parallel to the vehicle’s center. That can be a simple, quick fix, but it’s not quite as accurate as other alignment options. Because of this, we wouldn’t recommend front-end alignments for current-model vehicles.
If your vehicle has no adjustable rear suspension, a thrust alignment is the most accurate option available. When you have this type of alignment done, your vehicle’s front tires will be adjusted to closely match the thrust line (i.e., the average of where your back two wheels are pointing).
For vehicles that do have adjustable rear suspension, we can provide four-wheel alignment services. As the service’s name suggests, we’ll look at all four tires and make sure they’re perfectly aligned.
