What we aim to provide
The three angles we perfect
How is wheel alignment carried out? By checking and perfecting these three wheel alignment angles, then correcting them back into the alignment they should be. You receive a detailed printout of everything carried out on your vehicle.
Camber Angle
The angle at which wheels are tilted in or out in relation to the top of the tyre. Incorrect camber causes uneven wear on one side of the tyre.
Toe Angle
The angle at which the leading edge of a pair of wheels points towards each other (toe-in) or away from each other (toe-out).
Caster Angle
The angle between the pivot line to the upper ball joint and vertical. This angle affects how your steering wheel returns to its position after completing a turn.
Your 10 000 km alignment warranty
We give a 10 000 km warranty on our wheel alignment and encourage you to bring your vehicle back after you have added a further 8 000 km onto the last reading. We rotate and reset the alignment and keep a constant record of your vehicle, complimentary, provided you are still within your warranty period. Keep your spec sheet close by and check your kilometre reading so you don't miss it.
We provide trusted services for you
