Warning Signs

Signs Your Alignment
Is Off

Alignment drifts slowly, so most drivers get used to it. If any of these sound familiar, book a check before the tires wear out.

Book an Alignment
  • The car pulls to one side. On a straight, flat road it drifts left or right when you loosen your grip.
  • The steering wheel is crooked. The wheel sits off-centre when you are driving straight.
  • Uneven tire wear. The inside or outside edge of a tire is wearing faster than the rest.
  • Loose or wandering steering. The car needs constant small corrections at highway speed.
  • A hard impact or new parts. You hit a pothole or curb, or just had new tires or suspension parts put on.
The Service

What an Alignment
Involves

We measure the angles of each wheel against the manufacturer's specification and adjust them back into range.

Four-Wheel Alignment

Most modern cars get a four-wheel alignment, which checks the rear wheels as well as the front even when only the front can be adjusted.

Two-Wheel Alignment

Some trucks and older vehicles only need the front wheels set. We tell you which yours needs before we start.

Worn Parts Checked First

If a worn tie rod end or control arm bushing means the car will not hold an alignment, we call you before doing anything extra.

Paired With Tire Work

Doing your winter tire changeover? Ask for an alignment check at the same visit.

When to Check

When to Get Your
Alignment Checked

Highway 2 through Clarington and the rural roads around Newcastle are hard on alignment, especially after frost heaves in spring.

Once a Year

If nothing feels wrong, a yearly check is enough to catch slow drift before it wears your tires.

After a Hard Impact

A deep pothole or a curb strike can knock the wheels out of line in one hit.

With New Tires

A bad alignment can wear a new set unevenly in a few thousand kilometres.

After Suspension or Steering Work

New struts, tie rods or control arms change the geometry, so the alignment needs setting again.

Common Questions

Wheel Alignment FAQ

Answers about alignment, tires and booking.

How do I know if I need an alignment?
If the car pulls, the steering wheel is off-centre or a tire is wearing on one edge, book one. If none of that is happening, a yearly check is enough. Call 289-200-3259.
Do I need a two-wheel or four-wheel alignment?
Most modern cars get a four-wheel alignment, which checks the rear wheels as well as the front even when only the front can be adjusted. We tell you which yours needs before we start.
Should I get an alignment with new tires?
Yes. A bad alignment can wear a new set unevenly in a few thousand kilometres. Ask for a check at your tire changeover.
Can it be done the same day?
Drop off between 8 and 11 AM and most alignments are done the same day.
