How to Tell if Your Car is in Need of an Alignment

Correctly aligned tires will reduce wear and ensure that your vehicle travels straight and true (without “pulling” to one side).  Always pay attention to that “pulling” to one side.   It’s also a good idea to check your tires frequently, both during routine maintenance (by a qualified automotive technician) and by making a habit to look at your tires and noticing any new damage or differences.  You can always come in to Jake’s Auto, and we are happy to check alignments, if you are unsure or have questions.  It’s also a good idea to have the alignment checked regularly to prevent wear and tear on the tires.
