Worth knowing

Signs your tracking is out

Alignment drifts with everyday driving. A kerb or a pothole can knock it out in one go. These are the things drivers usually notice first.

01

Wheel off centre

The steering wheel sits at an angle when you are driving in a straight line.

02

Pulling to one side

You have to hold the wheel to keep the vehicle straight on a flat road.

03

Edge wear

Tyres wearing on the inside or outside shoulder, or feathering across the tread.

04

After any work

New tyres, track rod ends, suspension parts, or a hard knock against a kerb.

On the day

What happens when we arrive

Most cars and vans are done in about an hour. You do not need to be with the vehicle the whole time, just there at the start and the end.

Before

A call when we set off

The technician rings when they are on the way, inside the arrival window you booked.

Arrival

Photos and a look round

We photograph the vehicle as we find it and check the tyres, pressures and steering parts before touching anything.

Measure

Readings before adjustment

Heads go on all four wheels. Toe, camber, caster and thrust angle are recorded against the manufacturer's figures.

Adjust

Set to specification

Track rods are adjusted and locked, the steering wheel is centred, and everything is measured again.

Leave

Report in your inbox

Before and after readings and photos, emailed to you against the registration. Anything we spotted that needs attention is listed as an advisory.

Questions

Before you book

How do I know my vehicle needs aligning?

The usual signs are the steering wheel sitting off-centre when driving straight, the vehicle pulling to one side, or tyres wearing on one edge. It is also worth checking after new tyres, a kerb strike, or any steering or suspension work.

What do you need from me on the day?

A flat, level spot about the size of a parking bay with room to walk round the vehicle, and the keys. We bring the equipment.

How long does it take?

Most cars and vans take about an hour. Commercial vehicles take longer, depending on the number of axles.

Will I get proof of the work?

Yes. You get a report by email with the readings before and after adjustment, plus photos of the vehicle.

Pick a time and we will come to you.
