Two-Wheel Alignment Service

What is a Two-Wheel Alignment Service?

Two-wheel alignment usually refers to the front two wheels of your vehicle, as many vehicles are front-wheel drive. That means the engine turns the front two wheels, which have more potential to fall out of alignment, as they both move as they steer while also having the force of the engine spinning the axle. Some of the common signs that your wheels may be out of alignment are if you notice that as you are driving the steering wheel is straight, but the wheels are at an angle pulling your vehicle left or right.

To correct this, our certified technicians measure the toe, or angle of your wheels, against the Volkswagen, recommended alignment. Our technicians then use our state-of-the-art equipment to re-align your wheels.

What Causes Misalignment?

Some common causes of two-wheel alignment issues are running over a pothole or striking some debris in the road which can knock your wheels out of alignment. However, it is not always a dramatic blow to your wheels that knock them out of alignment, like normal wear and tear on your wheels can cause them to fall out of alignment as well. This is why we recommend a regular alignment check so our certified technicians can tell you if your wheels are starting to come out of alignment, even if you don't notice it while driving.

Driving on Aligned Wheels is Crucial to Tire Health, Safety, and Performance

You may wonder why you should check for alignment issues if you don't notice any problems yet. The answer is that your alignment affects how your tires roll over the road. If the two wheels driving your vehicle are not properly aligned, this can cause uneven tread wear on your tires, leading to bald spots in the treads and requiring premature replacement of your tires. This is both expensive and unsafe.
