Improve handling, extend tire life, and enhance fuel efficiency with our precision wheel alignment services
Schedule Your Wheel AlignmentProper wheel alignment is crucial for your vehicle's performance, safety, and tire longevity. At E.M.A Tire & Auto, our certified technicians use state-of-the-art alignment equipment to ensure your vehicle handles correctly and your tires wear evenly.
Proper alignment prevents uneven tire wear, helping your tires last longer and saving you money.
Misaligned wheels create drag, reducing your vehicle's fuel economy. Our alignment service helps optimize fuel efficiency.
Correct alignment ensures your vehicle handles properly, improving stability and control, especially during emergency maneuvers.
Properly aligned wheels contribute to a smoother, more comfortable driving experience with reduced vibration.
We begin with a thorough inspection of your steering and suspension components to identify any worn parts that could affect alignment.
Using advanced alignment equipment, we measure your vehicle's current alignment angles and compare them to manufacturer specifications.
Our technicians make precise adjustments to the camber, caster, and toe angles to bring your vehicle back to factory specifications.
We perform a road test to ensure your vehicle drives straight, handles properly, and that the steering wheel is centered.
Also known as a front-end alignment, this service adjusts only the front wheels. It's suitable for vehicles with a solid rear axle that doesn't require adjustment.
Recommended for most modern vehicles, this comprehensive service aligns all four wheels, ensuring optimal handling and tire wear for vehicles with independent rear suspensions.
This alignment ensures that all four wheels are square with each other and that the rear wheels are aligned with the front wheels, crucial for vehicles with a solid rear axle.
For sports cars and performance vehicles, we offer specialized alignments that can be tailored to specific driving styles or track conditions.
Your vehicle drifts to one side even when you're driving straight and holding the steering wheel centered.
Your tires show signs of uneven wear patterns, particularly on the inside or outside edges.
Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight ahead.
You've recently hit a major pothole, curb, or been in a minor collision.
You've had suspension work done or replaced steering components.
It's been more than a year or 12,000 miles since your last alignment.
Most manufacturers recommend having your alignment checked every 12,000 miles or at least once a year. However, you should get an alignment sooner if you notice any signs of misalignment or after hitting a major pothole or curb.
A standard wheel alignment typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. However, if additional repairs are needed to suspension or steering components, it may take longer.
Wheel balancing corrects uneven weight distribution in the tire and wheel assembly, addressing vibration issues. Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels to ensure they're perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other, addressing handling, tire wear, and directional issues.
While an alignment can improve handling and prevent uneven tire wear, vibration issues are typically caused by wheel imbalance or tire problems. Our technicians can diagnose the specific cause of your vibration and recommend the appropriate service.
While not always necessary, getting an alignment with new tires is highly recommended. This ensures your new tires wear evenly and last as long as possible, maximizing your investment.
