What is Wheel Alignment?
Proper wheel alignment is not just a matter of general mechanics; it's also a matter of safety and efficiency. In fact, not only does it help you save money by reducing fuel consumption, but it also prevents premature wear on your tires, steering system, and suspension. At 514 Muffler, we use the latest 3D laser technology to achieve optimal wheel alignment.
Energy and Cost Savings
Driving a vehicle with misaligned wheels causes uneven wear on tire treads and increases fuel consumption, as the vehicle needs to expend more energy to counteract the effects of rolling resistance.
However, when all four tires of your vehicle are perfectly parallel and all components are properly aligned, it creates much less friction and resistance, which undoubtedly results in energy savings. Less energy means less fuel consumption and, therefore, less money spent!
Properly aligned wheels allow for better handling and improved control of the vehicle. For professional alignment of your tires, contact our tire center in Montreal or on the West Island.
Your Safety Above All
When your wheels are correctly aligned, you should be able to drive safely without feeling that your vehicle is pulling to the right or left. Not sure? Here's a simple test to check your tire alignment. While driving on the highway, you should be able to maintain a straight path even if you briefly take your hands off the steering wheel. Is this not possible? Driving safely on the road should be a priority. Quickly make an appointment at our auto garage so our technicians can resolve the issue.
