BTS Tire & Service provides Wheel Alignment services to Pawtucket, RI, Providence, RI, East Providence, RI, and other surrounding areas.

Proper alignment makes a vehicle steer easily and allows tires to wear evenly. When wheels are not aligned, various problems can result, including veering your vehicle to the right or left, leading to an accident. Your wheels need to be aligned to the recommended position as outlined in your vehicle's manufacturer specification. It would be best to do a wheel alignment when brand-new tires are installed, or you can check your alignment with your regular tire rotation. At BTS Tire & Service in Pawtucket, RI, we can inspect and re-align your wheels. 

How Is a Wheel Alignment Done?

The process of aligning your wheels is an elaborate procedure. The certified technicians at No Limit Auto can provide you with a dependable wheel alignment. Your vehicle will be placed on a wheel alignment machine. This machine will adjust your wheels' angles so that they are set to the car manufacturer's specifications. The type of alignment you receive is dependent on your car's suspension. Your technician will adjust the various suspension angles, which influence the tire movement and position. Your steering wheel will also be centered. To allow the stability control system's correct functioning, ensure that your car's alignment is correct. A test drive should be done after an alignment is performed to ensure your vehicle drives in a straight direction.

When Do I Need to Get Wheel Alignments Done?

Hitting curbs, potholes, or having been in an accident can result in wheel misalignment. Poorly aligned tires can affect road holding and decrease the life of your tires, so it is vital that you check your wheels regularly. The general rule of thumb is to schedule a preventive wheel alignment every year or 12,000 miles. Even if you haven't been in a situation that knocks your wheels out of alignment, you may need wheel alignment service.

Is It Time For a Wheel Alignment?

Poorly maintained roads, driving through potholes, or even hitting a curb, can greatly affect your alignment. This can cause even the slightest alignment issue, which can accelerate uneven tire wear. Have your alignment checked every 10,000 miles or at least once per year or every other oil change. If your wheels aren't completely parallel, this can cause a host of problems for several components of your vehicle and also greatly diminish the life of your tires. If you notice any of the following, we recommend bringing your vehicle in for an alignment check:

• Your vehicle pulls to one side
• The front-end shakes
• The steering wheel doesn't line up straight while driving on a straight road
• The steering wheel shakes or vibrates
• The front tires show signs of uneven wear
