How often should I get my wheels aligned driving Suffolk’s country roads?

As a general guide, it is worth having your alignment checked once a year or every 10,000 miles or so, but on the rural roads around Leiston it pays to check more often, and any time the car starts behaving differently. The lanes and country roads out here are hard on a car, and a single firm knock from a pothole, a hidden verge or a kerb can push your tracking out of line without leaving any obvious damage. The tell-tale signs are the car pulling to one side when you relax your grip on the wheel, a steering wheel sitting off-centre on a straight road, or one edge of a front tyre wearing faster than the rest. Left alone, poor alignment quietly wears your tyres out early and costs you money. Our wheel alignment service resets everything to the manufacturer’s spec, and we often pair it with wheel balancing so the ride is smooth as well as straight. We can usually check it while you wait, so pop in or call 01728 833 166.
