Professional Wheel Alignment Services at Gobble's Automotive

Wheel alignment is the adjustment of a vehicle's suspension system, which connects a vehicle to its wheels. Proper alignment ensures that the wheels are positioned correctly relative to each other and to the road.

There are three main angles involved in wheel alignment: camber, caster, and toe. Camber measures the tilt of the wheels from vertical; caster measures the angle of the steering axis; and toe measures the direction the wheels point relative to the vehicle's centerline. Which angles can be adjusted and the extent will depend on your vehicle make and model.

Correct wheel alignment improves vehicle handling, enhances tire longevity, and ensures safer driving. Misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear, poor handling, and increased fuel consumption.

How Is a Wheel Alignment Done?

A qualified technician at Gobble's Automotive will correct your wheel alignment using a state-of-the-art machine. This machine will identify the degree of misalignment, so the technician can perform corrections. The type of alignment you receive is dependent on your car's suspension. Your technician will adjust the suspension angles, which influence wheel and tire movement and position. Your steering wheel will also be centered.

How Will Wheel Alignment Help My Car?

Car makers choose specific alignment angles for their vehicles to optimize handling, stability, and tire wear. When your vehicle is in alignment, you get to enjoy these benefits. If you are driving with a car out of alignment, you'll also notice improved steering response and enhanced driving comfort once your vehicle returns to its correct alignment. Our skilled technicians use advanced equipment to measure and adjust the angles of your wheels, ensuring they are parallel and perpendicular to the ground. This service not only improves your vehicle's handling but also contributes to better fuel economy, making it a wise investment for any driver.

Hitting curbs or potholes can result in wheel misalignment. Poorly aligned wheels can affect road-handling and decrease the life of your tires, resulting in the need for premature tire replacement. In most cases, only the two front wheels require wheel alignment to resolve the issue; however, in some cases, all four wheels require alignment. Our specialized wheel alignment machines, alongside our knowledgeable technicians, can realign your wheels so they are within manufacturer specifications.

Do I Need 2 Wheel or 4 Wheel Alignment?

Cars usually require a two-wheel alignment as they typically have a solid rear axle. If you have a vehicle that is an all-wheel-drive with independent suspensions, then you'll require a four-wheel alignment. Our technicians will know what to do based on your vehicle make and model.
