MINI Alignment Service

Benefits of an Alignment Service

Having a properly aligned car does more than help you steer straight. Wheel alignment provides many benefits for your vehicle, ranging from enhancing the car's handling, performance, and steering to maximizing fuel efficiency. Proper alignment also reduces the risk of uneven wear and tear on your tires' treads, which minimizes safety issues and ensures you don't end up paying for a new tire, or several new tires, sooner than expected. Adequately aligned tires also make your car more comfortable to drive, which makes for a better driving experience overall.

Every day that you spend on the road can expose your car to hazards and obstacles that can knock the tires out of alignment. Hitting potholes, grooves, and curbs can all cause misalignment. A car can get out of alignment from a single event. The adjustment can also be gradually pulled out of place from regular wear and tear or consistently driving on uneven surfaces. While you might not know what caused it, there are several signs you can look for that indicate it's time to check the alignment. One of the most common symptoms that you need an alignment is if your car pulls to one side when you drive in a straight line. Vibrations and swaying in the front end after hitting a bump can also signal it's time for an alignment check. Uneven wear on the tire treads is also a sign that the alignment is off. Another indication that the alignment is off is if the steering wheel does not return to a straight position when the car is parked. While these signs indicate it's time to get an alignment, you should also schedule an appointment for alignment service after the winter season or after having any work done on your tires, such as changing seasonal tires or after getting new tires.

When you schedule an appointment with us, you'll know that your car is in good hands with a professional team performing the work. Furthermore, like most credible dealers, we use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts on our customers' cars. OEM parts are backed by a manufacturer's warranty, which also guarantees their quality. Many independent shops, in contrast, use aftermarket parts for cars.

Since most aftermarket parts do not come with a manufacturer's warranty, customers are at risk of getting damaged or defective parts.
