Sandston Auto provides Wheel Alignment services to Sandston, VA , Richmond, VA, Chesterfield, VA, and other surrounding areas.

The wheels and tires on your vehicle play a crucial role in ensuring safety and efficiency while driving. Despite its name, a wheel alignment service goes beyond simply adjusting wheels. It involves fine-tuning the angles of the suspension system, including caster, camber, and toe angles, to meet the vehicle's original equipment specifications. This adjustment ensures that the wheels are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other, resulting in optimal tire life and a vehicle that tracks straight and true. Neglecting wheel alignment can lead to excessive tire wear and steering or tracking issues, making it unsafe to drive with misaligned tires.

When to Get a Vehicle Wheel Alignment?

It's essential to know when to schedule a wheel alignment service. Signs that your vehicle may need a wheel alignment include uneven or rapid tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side while driving, or a steering wheel that's off-center when driving straight. Additionally, it's advisable to get a wheel alignment after significant suspension work, such as replacing steering or suspension components, or after hitting a large pothole or curb.

A Wheel Alignment Service Includes:

• • Assessment of the steering and suspension components.
• • Examination of the tires to assess tire size, inflation levels, and tread wear.
• • Comparison to manufacturer guidelines ensuring that it meets the recommended specifications.

2-Wheel/Front-End Vehicle Alignment
This alignment focuses on adjusting the angles of the front wheels only. This service is suitable for vehicles with a solid rear axle, as the rear wheels do not require adjustment.
4-Wheel/All-Wheel Vehicle Alignment
This involves adjusting the angles of all four wheels to ensure they are parallel and perpendicular to each other. This service is necessary for vehicles with independent rear suspension or those equipped with all-wheel drive.
