Wheel Alignment in Austin, TX

Why is wheel alignment important? Maybe you hit a pothole a bit too hard. Or perhaps you ran into a curb? Whatever the reason, jolts like this can destroy your tires and certain suspension parts of your vehicle. Many times the impact is minimal so you don't notice any damage until it becomes evident through things like a shaky steering wheel.

Unfortunately, mini-collisions like these cost car owners hundreds of dollars – and their safety - if they're not repaired in a timely manner. Leonard's Garage recommends a regular under-the-car inspection and alignment check to ensure your vehicle is functioning properly.

How do I know if I need an alignment?

There are several factors that can be used to determine if you need a wheel alignment:

• Do you notice uneven or rapid tire wear?
• Does your car wander on a straight, level road?
• Does your car pull or drift away from a straight line?
• Look at the spokes of your steering wheel. Are they off to one side when you're driving on a level road?
