Wheel Alignment, Tire Balancing and Suspension

Caliber Auto Care specializes in wheel alignment, tire balancing and tire rotation to ensure your car is road-ready. Our skilled technicians receive industry-leading training and utilize state-of-the-art equipment to solve your wheel and tire problems to get you back on the road promptly and safely.

State-of-the-art wheel alignment

Proper wheel alignment is important for both the life of your tires and the safety of your vehicle. Misalignment causes your tires to wear out prematurely and negatively impacts your gas mileage. In a wheel alignment, we'll adjust your vehicle's suspension so that your tires contact the road at the proper angle to correct handling and resolve safety issues.

When do you need a wheel alignment performed?

If you experience any of the issues listed below, please bring your car in and let us evaluate it.

• Pulling to either side while you're driving or accelerating
• If you have recently hit a curb, pothole, or debris
• If you have unusual or uneven tire wear
• After replacing worn suspension items
• At manufacturer-recommended intervals

What is tire balancing and rotation?

Different from wheel alignment, tire balancing identifies and corrects any weight imbalances in the tire/wheel. Our technicians use a high-speed balancing machine to test each tire at its optimal inflation. Proper tire balance improves vehicle handling and prevents steering pulls, vibrations and shimmying.

Tire rotation means moving the tires from one position to another to compensate for different weights on the front and rear axles and helps tread wear evenly.

When should you have your tires rotated?

Reasons to rotate your tires vary, but they all help your tires last longer and your vehicle to drive better.

• If your vehicle is experiencing vibrations, shimmying or isn’t driving smoothly
• Every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer guidelines
• During times of seasonal temperature changes such as transitioning from winter to spring
• If you have a front-wheel drive vehicle, they need rotation more often
• When experiencing uneven air pressure across tires

Suspension Repair

Your vehicle's suspension system is crucial for providing a comfortable ride and ensuring your safety on the road. A malfunctioning suspension system can make your ride bumpy, decrease vehicle control, and pose a significant safety risk.
