We align all VWs: Golf, GTI, Golf R, Jetta, GLI, Passat, Tiguan, Atlas, Arteon, Beetle, Touareg—and all make and models if you’re bringing a second vehicle.

Symptoms you need a wheel alignment

  • Vehicle pulls left/right or steering wheel off-center

  • Uneven/feathered tire wear or frequent tire replacement

  • Vibration through wheel after potholes or curb strikes

  • New suspension/coilovers just installed (alignment required)

  • Lane-keeping/ACC camera recalibration flagged after repairs

Our Volkswagen alignment process

  1. Road test & digital inspection of suspension/steering/brakes
  2. Tire/wheel check: pressures, tread, runout, torque
  3. Four-wheel alignment to factory specs (or your custom specs)
  4. Performance setup (optional): custom camber, caster, toe for daily/track
  5. Final printout & consultation (tire wear strategy, rotation plan)

Lowered or lifted? We set ride height first, then align to the goals you choose: maximum tire life, OEM comfort, or service & repair tuned for spirited driving.

VW Alignment FAQ

1) How often should I align my Volkswagen?
At least every 12–18 months or 10,000–15,000 km, and any time you install suspension parts, hit a pothole/curb, notice uneven tire wear, or the wheel goes off-center.

2) Do I need an alignment after new tires or coilovers?
Yes. New tires deserve a correct alignment to protect the warranty and tread life. Coilovers/springs change geometry—an alignment is mandatory.

3) Can you do custom specs for my GTI/Golf R?
Absolutely. We’ll discuss how you drive (street/track/stance) and set camber, caster, and toe accordingly for the balance you want.

4) What if my VW needs suspension repair to align properly?
We perform complete auto service & repair—tie-rods, control-arm bushings, ball joints, bearings, and more—so your alignment holds and tires last.

5) How long does a VW alignment take?
Most standard alignments take about an hour once on the rack; add time if components are seized or if we’re setting custom performance specs.

Pre-Alignment Checklist:

Before bringing your car in for alignment, please ensure the following:

  • Confirm that the steering and suspension are in safe, proper working condition.
  • Check that the front tie rods are not seized, as we do not use heat to free them up.
  • Inspect ball joints, bushings, and tie rods for signs of wear or play.
  • Ensure bearings are not loose or worn, and there are no leaking struts or shocks.
  • Verify the steering box for minor play, and ensure tires are safe for driving.
  • The vehicle must be capable of running under its own power.
  • If the vehicle underwent restoration, ensure all work has been double-checked by the facility/person responsible. If unsure, book a steering/suspension re-torque before the alignment appointment.
  • We will proceed with the alignment once the vehicle passes our inspection

Please note, should any components fail inspection, there will be a charge for the inspection as our technicians invest time in this process. We aim to avoid wasting your time and money by addressing these issues upfront.

Please request a steering and suspension inspection if you do not know the condition of your vehicle.

Thorough inspections and prioritize safety to prevent any future issues.
