Wheel Alignment and Tire Adjustments
Ensure your tires are in optimal condition with precise alignment services at Quality Auto & Diesel Repair, Inc.. Properly aligned tires not only extend their lifespan but also enhance your vehicle's handling by preventing it from "pulling" to one side. Our certified tire specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously inspect your tires for signs of uneven wear, cracking, or slow leaks.
If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment typically takes about one hour for both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, if significant wear is found in suspension components such as bushings, tie rods, or steering and suspension parts, additional repairs may be required, which can extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can have a negative impact on tire life, vehicle handling, and fuel efficiency. Even minor alignment issues that are difficult to see with the naked eye can cause uneven tire wear over time. To avoid premature tire replacement and maintain safe driving conditions, it is recommended to have your alignment checked approximately every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a wheel alignment, technicians examine three primary alignment angles: camber, toe, and caster. Camber measures the inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front, toe measures how much the tires point inward or outward, and caster measures the steering axis angle. These measurements are adjusted to manufacturer specifications to improve handling, tire wear, and overall driving performance.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes. Having an alignment performed after replacing tires helps ensure the tires meet the road at the proper angles. Correct alignment promotes even tread wear, improves handling, increases fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and enhances overall driving safety and comfort.

These guys are awesome. Sent my 2013 pathfinder to them to replace the alternator( first time i have ever had someone else work on my vehicles) and they did it cheaper than anywhere around. They do high quality work and have high quality employees. They are very helpful and able to find parts quickly that are hard to get. This car rides my family of 5 to north florida and back and glad I know they will be safe. Thanks guys for taking care of it while I was underway. John B |
