Get a wheel alignment from the expert team at Gisborne Tyre & Autocare.
During your wheel alignment, all 4 wheels on your vehicle will be measured and fine-tuned to ensure they are facing in the same direction. A wheel alignment is essential for maximising fuel economy, as well as getting the very most life out of your tyres.
What is a wheel alignment?
Every car has a small amount of adjustment in the suspension that affects which angles the wheels are facing. The purpose of a wheel alignment is to ensure that the direction of the wheels are within the manufacturers’ specifications.
A wheel alignment improves vehicle stability under heavy braking and will make the car more settled in an emergency situation.
During an alignment, Gisborne Tyre & Autocare will check a few critical measurements:
- Camber
- Toe
- Thrust angles and caster
While we’re under your car, we’ll also assess for worn or damaged components at the same time.
How Often Do I Need an Alignment?
Typically, we recommend a wheel alignment every 10,000kms or every 6 months.
We also recommend a wheel alignment every time you put new tyres on your vehicle, or if you’ve hit a particularly bad pothole or any time you hit debris on the road.
Ensuring you have a wheel alignment and a tyre rotation at somewhat regular intervals will go a long way to getting your tyres to last as long as possible by avoiding uneven tyre wear.
