Understanding Wheel Alignment and Its Importance
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your car’s wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. Correct wheel alignment ensures your tires last longer, improves vehicle handling, and provides a safer driving experience.
Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and a less comfortable ride, making regular alignment checks a vital part of car maintenance.
