Q: What are the benefits of an alignment? Are they worth the cost.

A: It is our opinion that the benefits are worth the cost and here is why.

Wheel alignment will affect major components of your vehicle such as steering and tires. Wheel alignments are seen as a preventative maintenance measure to ensure that the wear on the vehicle is reduced, that it tracks straight and handling is properly calibrated to the vehicle. If your alignment is out you can expect you use more fuel and greatly increase tire wear probably costing more than the alignment was worth. So save those tires and fuel.

We give the thumbs up to proper maintenance as a proactive measure to save time, money and headaches.
