Alignment Service

Toyota Alignment Service For Pheonix Drivers

When you roll a wheel, it should feel smooth and easy. The more you start to turn that wheel though, the more friction you’re going to experience. This can affect performance, and it can cause the wheel itself to degrade at a fast rate. This is what an alignment fixes, as our mechanics can ensure that your wheels are meeting the road at the correct angle before you leave the dealership. If you think that your wheels may need to be aligned, then you can visit us at Bell Road Toyota.

Why Do I Need an Alignment?

While it might be tempting to skip your tire alignment, this is going to affect the lifespan of your tires. When your wheels are turned a few degrees to the left or the right, it’s going to create more friction as you drive. This might not seem like a huge issue, but it can cause your tread to wear away quickly. If you don’t want to have to constantly replace tires, then you should stay on top of your tire rotations, tire balancings, and tire alignments. It’s surprisingly easy to mess up your alignment, as your wheels might turn slightly when you hit a huge pothole or curb. If you’re worried about your alignment, and you live near Gilbert, Phoenix, or Glendale, then you can head to Bell Road Toyota for your next service.

How Can I Tell If My Alignment Is Off?

It’s not exactly easy to measure the angle of your wheels. Luckily, there are a few different ways to test your alignment. When you’re driving, your wheel should be able to keep your vehicle going in a straight line. If you’re suddenly veering to the left or right when you take your hands off of the wheel, then that’s a pretty clear sign that your alignment needs some work. You might also notice that it’s harder for your wheel to return to the center position when you’re taking tight turns. In extreme cases, you might even be able to see that one tire has excessive wearing on the outside or inside. If you’re tired of constantly correcting your steering wheel, then you can visit us at Bell Road Toyota for a quick alignment.

Are There Other Tire Services?

While it’s important to align your tires, this isn’t the only tire service that should be on your mind. You also need to occasionally rotate and balance your tires. A tire rotation ensures that each tire is wearing away at the same rate, as it swaps the position of some of your tires. A tire balancing, on the other hand, ensures that each tire weighs the same amount. While your tires might all look the same, this doesn’t mean that they have the same weight. Unbalanced tires tend to bounce on the road, and they wear away at a faster rate. If you’re already caught up on all of your tire services, then you may want to consider getting your other routine services out of the way. This includes things like your oil change, your brake inspection, and more.

If it’s been a while since you’ve checked your tires’ alignment, then you can schedule a service appointment with our team at Bell Road Toyota.
