Tires/Wheel Alignment

How Important Is Wheel Alignment?

How important is wheel alignment? Think of it this way: Research indicates that the average vehicle is driven about 12,000 miles per year. A car with a toe angle misadjustment of 0.34 degrees (only 0.17 inches) out of specification will drag the tires sideways for more than 68 miles by the end of the year!

The Importance Of

Involves Several Components

Is not working as it should bring your vehicle to Pry's Towing & Automotive. One of our trained air conditioning specialists will inspect your car’s air conditioner, all lines, the evaporator and the compressor for leaks and wear.

• Reduced Tire Wear:

  Improper alignment is a major cause of premature tire wear. Over the years, a properly aligned vehicle can add thousands of miles to tire life. Most tires are replaced prematurely due to adverse wear.

• Better Gas Mileage:

  Gas mileage increases as rolling resistance decreases. Total Alignment sets all four wheels parallel, which along with proper inflation, minimizes rolling resistance.

• Improved Handling:

  Does your car pull to one side? Do you constantly have to move the steering wheel to keep your car traveling straight ahead? Many handling problems can be corrected by Total Alignment service.

• Safer Driving:

  A suspension system inspection is part of the alignment procedure. This allows worn parts to be detected before they cause costly problems.

How Often Should I Have My Vehicle Aligned?

Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation noted in your owner’s manual. As a general rule, have your wheel alignment checked every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.
