Looking For A Wheel Alignment Expert In Chicago, IL?
Your wheel alignment should be checked no less than once every 10,000 miles. However, the potholes in Chicago can be brutal, so we suggest having your alignment inspected more frequently. Even if you drive over the curb, on an uneven road or up on the curb while parallel parking it may damage your alignment. If you notice any changes in steering or performance, or you have a damaged tire, stop by ASAP. E & J Auto Service can repair your wheel alignment and if needed fix, rotate or replace your tire.
How Do I Know If My Wheels Are Out Of Alignment?
A minor accident or everyday city driving can knock your wheels out of alignment. But how do you know? It is important to pay attention to the placement of your steering wheel. It should be center when you are driving in a straight line. If it takes longer to steer your vehicle on a left or right turn than it used to, your alignment is likely off. We live in the windy city so it’s not uncommon for your car to pull when driving on windy days—but if you notice more pull than usual it could be an alignment issue. Also, make a habit of checking your tires and tread. While many factors contribute to uneven wear, if your tread is thinner on one side than the other it could be due to misalignment. These changes can occur gradually so keep a close eye. Just Ask And We’ll Take A Look! E & J Auto Service believes in taking a proactive approach to maintaining your investment in your vehicle.
