Alignment FAQs

How long does a full alignment take?

Wheel alignments typically take one hour for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. However, excessive wear and tear on suspension components like bushings, track rods, or the system itself can require replacements, extending the service time.

What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?

Delaying tire alignment can lead to significant tire damage and decreased performance. Misalignments, while often minor, can cause uneven and accelerated tire wear over time, affecting safety and fuel efficiency. It's advisable to have alignments checked every 6,000 miles to prevent such issues.

What is checked during an alignment?

During a tire alignment, technicians assess three key angles: camber, toe, and caster. The camber angle measures how much the tire tilts away from being perfectly vertical, viewed from the front or back. Negative camber, where the top of the tire leans inward, typically increases wear on the inner edge of the tire.

Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?

Yes, it's essential to perform an alignment after installing new tires. Proper alignment ensures the tires are positioned correctly relative to the road and each other, extending tire life, improving handling, and promoting even tread wear, which enhances overall driving performance and fuel economy.

Q: What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?

Tire alignment is crucial for maintaining optimal tire performance and lifespan. Even slight misalignments, undetectable to the naked eye but measurable in tenths of degrees or hundredths of inches, can lead to premature and uneven wear. As time passes, this wear becomes more pronounced, impacting both safety and fuel efficiency. To avoid these issues, regular alignment checks every 6,000 miles are recommended.

Q: What is checked during an alignment?

Three crucial aspects are assessed during a tire alignment inspection: camber, toe, and caster. Camber refers to the angle formed by the vertical axis of the tire and a line perpendicular to the road surface, as viewed from the front. When the top of the tire tilts inwards, creating an "X" shape with the wheels, it's considered negative camber. This can increase wear on the tire's inner edge through increased friction.

Q: Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?

The answer is yes! A proper wheel alignment ensures precise angles between wheels and the road, maximizing tire life, enhancing handling, and distributing wear evenly across the tread. This translates to better fuel efficiency, safer driving, and a more enjoyable ride.

1st time customer. Very impressed with the communication process. They inform you of your options, but do not try to “sell” at all…very low pressure. I’ll definitely go back!

I was very impressed and pleased with Carmine's Service from the very beginning. The staff was not only professional and knowledgeable but made sure they kept me aware of what was going on at all times. My car was repaired and when I picked it up, it had been washed and my wife was thrilled by the presentation...like them thanking us for letting them fix our car. I highly recommend Carmine's if you're having issues with your foreign car. Check with them first.
