Alignment Repair in Plainview, NY

Alignment

It can happen slowly, a little at a time, through normal wear and tear, or it can happen after an unexpected run-in with a pothole or curb. Either way, if left unchecked, an bad wheel alignment can leave you driving in circles. Being able to drive in a straight line is the least you should expect of your vehicle’s steering. The expert auto repair techs at Plainview Auto Care can give you back complete control. We make sure your vehicle doesn’t have a mind of its own, using precision sensors on each tire to ensure an accurate alignment while driving. A proper wheel alignment is when all four tires are pointing in the exact same direction. An obvious symptom of an bad wheel alignment is when a driver feels an automatic pulling to the right or to the left while attempting to drive straight. Drivers may also notice a shaky steering wheel or vibrating steering column. These symptoms  could be the start of a number of problems with your car’s handling. Tires will wear unevenly when the alignment is off even a little bit. Routine adjustments should be performed at least once a year, or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Keep Tires Rotated Properly

Bring your vehicle into Plainview Auto Care’s auto repair shop for your routine tire rotations. Tires in the front will always wear more quickly than tires in the rear . Rotating tires every 6,000 miles will make sure tread wear is distributed evenly.  Maintenance intervals may vary depending on the manufacturer’s specifications, your driving habits, and other factors. Bring your vehicle into Plainview Auto Care to keep your wheels spinning straight and even.
