Wheel Alignment – Tranent

If your car is pulling to one side, your steering wheel sits off-centre, or your tyres are wearing unevenly, wheel alignment is often the cause. Getting your wheels properly aligned keeps your car handling as it should and helps your tyres last as long as they’re meant to.

Signs your wheels may be out of alignment

• The car pulls noticeably to one side on a flat, straight road
• Your steering wheel isn’t centred when driving straight ahead
• Uneven or rapid tyre wear, particularly on one edge of the tyre
• Vibration through the steering wheel at speed
• The car feels less stable or responsive than it used to

Alignment can be knocked out by something as simple as hitting a pothole or kerb, so it’s not always down to age or wear.

How we check and correct alignment

We use two-wheel laser wheel alignment equipment to measure your car’s alignment precisely against the manufacturer’s specification. This gives us accurate readings for camber, toe and other alignment angles, rather than relying on estimation.

If adjustment is needed, we correct the alignment to bring it back within the correct range, then recheck the readings to confirm everything is set properly before handing the car back to you. Where alignment issues are being caused by worn or damaged suspension components rather than the alignment itself, we’ll flag this too, since realigning a car with underlying suspension problems won’t fix the issue for long.

Why choose us over another local workshop

Not every workshop has invested in laser alignment equipment, and without it, alignment becomes a rough approximation rather than an accurate correction. Getting it right the first time protects your tyres from premature wear, which can otherwise cost you far more than the alignment itself over time.
