The Importance of a Wheel Alignment
At Dale’s Auto Service, we prioritize the safety and longevity of your vehicle.
One essential service often overlooked by drivers is wheel alignment. In this article, we’ll explore what wheel alignment is, why it’s highly recommended, and how often you should have it done.
What is Wheel Alignment?
As your vehicle’s suspension components degrade over time, the alignment of your wheels can shift, leading to uneven tire wear and compromised safety.
Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of your vehicle’s wheels to ensure they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground.
Why is Wheel Alignment Recommended?
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for several reasons:
1. Increased Tire Lifespan: Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, leading to premature tire replacement. By maintaining proper alignment, you can maximize the lifespan of your tires and avoid unnecessary expenses.
2. Enhanced Safety: Correct wheel alignment ensures optimal handling and stability, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall driving safety.
3. Improved Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels can increase rolling resistance, causing your vehicle to consume more fuel. Proper alignment helps optimize fuel efficiency and saves you money at the pump.
Modern Wheel Alignment Service:
Today’s wheel alignment service is far from basic. Our highly trained technicians utilize advanced technology and precision equipment to perform accurate and comprehensive alignments.
From adjusting camber and caster angles to inspecting steering and suspension components, we go above and beyond to ensure your vehicle’s alignment meets manufacturer specifications.
How Often Should You Align Your Wheels?
While the specific interval may vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model, it’s generally recommended to have your wheels aligned every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers.
However, factors such as driving habits and road conditions can influence the frequency of alignment checks.
Consult your vehicle’s maintenance manual for guidance tailored to your vehicle.

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.
