Computerized Alignments & Wheel Balancing, Steering and Suspension Repair

How do I know if my car needs a wheel alignment?

Common signs include:

Your vehicle is pulling to one side

Tire wear that is uneven or rapid

Steering wheel is off-center when driving straight (pulls to the right or left)

Vehicle vibration or poor handling

Should you notice any of these signs, it is time for a wheel alignment check.

How often should I get a wheel alignment?

Most automotive experts recommend every 6,000 to 10,000 miles, or at least once a year. You should also get a wheel alignment after:

Hitting a pothole or curb

New tires are installed

Recent suspension repairs

What does a wheel alignment actually do?

Wheel alignment will adjust the angle of your wheels—camber, caster, and toe—to match manufacturer specifications. This ensures that your tires meet the road evenly, improving handling, tire life, and fuel efficiency.

Are wheel alignments the same thing as tire balancing?

No, it isn’t.

A Wheel Alignment adjusts wheel angles.

Wheel Balancing will correct the weight distribution in the tire/wheel assembly. Both are very important for vehicle maintenance, but they solve different problems.

Can a wheel misalignment damage my car?

Yes, it will. Driving with poor alignment can do the following to your vehicle:

Wear out your tires prematurely

Strain suspension and steering components

Reduce fuel efficiency

Lead to unsafe driving conditions

How long does a wheel alignment usually take?

Because so many vehicles require a 4-wheel alignment, an alignment typically takes an hour or more. Some shops offer same-day service or online booking, like we do, for convenience.

How much does a wheel alignment cost around Southaven, MS?

Prices usually range from $120 to $200 for a standard alignment, but it depends on the vehicle. Some auto repair shops offer package deals with tire rotation or inspection included. Ask first!

Can I drive safely with a bad wheel alignment?

You can, but we do not recommend it. Poor vehicle wheel alignment affects safety, handling, and tire longevity. The longer you wait to realign your wheels, the more expensive the fix may become.
