Ensuring Optimal Performance and Safety
Wheel alignment, also known as tracking or tyre alignment, is a crucial aspect of vehicle maintenance that ensures your wheels are set to the correct position as specified by the manufacturer. Proper wheel alignment not only enhances your driving experience but also extends the life of your tyres, improves efficiency, and ensures your vehicle handles safely and predictably. At EV Bodyshops, we offer expert wheel alignment services to keep your vehicle performing at its best.
Improved Safety
Proper wheel alignment ensures that your vehicle tracks straight and responds predictably to steering inputs, reducing the risk of accidents. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tyre wear, reducing traction and handling, especially in wet or slippery conditions.
Extended Tyre Life
Maintaining proper wheel alignment helps distribute the vehicle’s weight evenly across all four tyres, reducing uneven wear and prolonging tyre life. This can save you money on premature tyre replacements.

Enhanced Handling and Performance
Proper wheel alignment ensures your vehicle handles predictably, enhancing your overall driving experience. Misaligned wheels can cause steering pull, vibrations, or wandering, affecting your vehicle’s stability and performance.
Reduced Stress on Suspension Components
Correct wheel alignment reduces stress on suspension components, such as shocks, struts, and steering components, extending their lifespan. Misaligned wheels can strain these components excessively, leading to premature wear and potential failure.
Quality Assurance
We offer a comprehensive wheel alignment service that includes a thorough inspection of your suspension and steering components, precise adjustments to your wheel angles, and a final check to ensure everything is in perfect alignment. Our meticulous approach guarantees that your vehicle handles smoothly and safely.
Frequently asked questions
Wheel alignment is crucial for several reasons:
Safety: Proper alignment ensures your vehicle tracks straight and responds predictably to steering inputs, reducing the risk of accidents.
Tyre Longevity: Correct alignment helps distribute the vehicle’s weight evenly across all four tyres, reducing uneven wear and extending tyre life.
Fuel Efficiency: Proper alignment reduces rolling resistance, improving fuel efficiency and saving you money on fuel costs.
Handling and Performance: Proper alignment ensures your vehicle handles predictably, enhancing your overall driving experience.
Suspension Health: Correct alignment reduces stress on suspension components, extending their lifespan and preventing premature wear.
There are several signs that your vehicle may need a wheel alignment:
Uneven Tyre Wear: If you notice uneven wear patterns on your tyres, it could be a sign of misalignment.
Steering Pull: If your vehicle pulls to one side while driving straight, it may indicate alignment issues.
Vibrations: Unusual vibrations in the steering wheel or through the vehicle can be a sign of misalignment.
Off-Centre Steering Wheel: If your steering wheel is not centred when driving straight, your wheels may be misaligned.
Handling Issues: If your vehicle feels unstable or wanders on the road, it could be due to misalignment.
It is generally recommended to have your wheels aligned every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or at least once a year. However, you should also have your alignment checked if you experience any of the signs mentioned above, after hitting a significant pothole or curb, or after having suspension or steering components replaced.
The wheel alignment process at EV Bodyshops involves several key steps:
Initial Assessment: We begin with a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s suspension and steering components to identify any signs of wear or damage.
Detailed Estimate: We provide a comprehensive estimate outlining the necessary adjustments and associated costs.
Expert Alignment: Using advanced laser alignment systems, we precisely adjust the camber, toe, and caster angles of your wheels to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Final Inspection: We conduct a final inspection to ensure all adjustments meet our quality standards and that your vehicle handles smoothly and safely.
Yes, proper wheel alignment can significantly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Misaligned wheels create extra rolling resistance, causing your engine to work harder and consume more fuel. By ensuring your wheels are correctly aligned, you reduce this resistance, improving fuel efficiency and saving money on fuel costs.
