At APA Total Car Care, we occasionally see severe tire damage that could have been prevented with proper wheel alignment. During a APA Total Car Care alignment service, your vehicle is put on an alignment rack where the tires,steering and suspensionparts are inspected for problems. Then the alignment is charted and checked against the vehicle factory settings. Adjustments are made to bring the wheels back into alignment. This gets all four wheels moving in precisely the same direction.


If you don’t remember hitting a pothole, how do you know if your wheels are out? The most obvious sign is that your vehicle pulls to one side. Also, your steering wheel may not be centered when you’re going straight. If you’re in the habit of checking your tire wear regularly, you may notice the edges of one or more tires rapidly wearing down. You should have your Queen Creek auto service center look it over. Of course, if you’ve been in an accident, you should get your alignment checked.


It’s not surprising that a forceful impact can seriously knock tires out, but remember that a series of smaller ones can add up. That’s why your vehicle manufacturer recommends periodic alignment checks. If your vehicle owner’s manual doesn’t advise a specific interval, once a year might be appropriate. Check with your APA Total Car Care service advisor. As with most other preventive maintenance services, the cost of the alignment is a heck of a lot cheaper than having to purchase new tires earlier than expected.
