Precision Alignment Checks for Every Vehicle

An alignment check is an important part of regular car maintenance. It includes a careful look at your vehicle's suspension parts, like the steering wheel, tie rods, ball joints, and control arms. Our skilled technicians can spot even the tiniest issues that may show there is a problem with the alignment.


We use advanced tools to measure the angles of your wheels. Then, we compare these angles to what the manufacturer says they should be. This detailed method allows us to see if your car needs a wheel alignment and how much work is needed.


If your steering wheel is not straight when you drive, then your car isn’t aligned. A straight steering wheel usually means proper alignment. We'll address any alignment concerns quickly to avoid bigger issues later and make your ride safer and more comfortable.


Common Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Alignment

Ignoring the signs of misalignment can lead to expensive repairs later. Besides the hassle, it could also make your driving less safe. Here are signs that mean your vehicle might need a wheel alignment:


  • Uneven Tire Wear: If one side of your tires wears down faster than the other, it shows misalignment.
  • Vehicle Pulling: If your vehicle drifts to one side while you try to drive straight, this might be due to alignment problems.
  • Steering Wheel Vibration: If your steering wheel shakes, especially at high speeds, this could also indicate misalignment.
  • 

If you notice any of these signs, bring your vehicle in and a qualified technician will check it out.

The Wheel Alignment Process Explained


From the first check to the last test drive, we keep you updated all the way. Our team is always here to answer your questions and to explain any changes made to your vehicle.


Initial Assessment and Diagnosis

Before we make any changes, our technicians start with a detailed check of your vehicle. They look at your tires for uneven wear, check the tire pressure, and inspect the suspension system for any damage or wear.


Next, we will take your vehicle for a test drive. This part is very important because it helps us see how your vehicle moves. We look for any pulling, drifting, or vibrations. These signs help us understand how serious the alignment problems are.


After these steps, we use our advanced alignment machine. This machine measures your tire alignment angles accurately. This helps us know exactly what adjustments we need to make.


Step-by-Step Alignment Procedure

Once we've diagnosed the alignment issues, we use a sophisticated alignment machine to make precise adjustments. Our technicians are trained to interpret the machine's readings and make the necessary adjustments to restore your vehicle's alignment to the manufacturer's specifications.


The process often involves tweaking the following alignment angles:

Alignment Angle Description
Caster Angle This angle affects your vehicle's steering stability, particularly at higher speeds.
Camber Angle This angle influences how your tire makes contact with the road, impacting tire wear and handling.
Toe Angle This angle ensures that your wheels are parallel to each other, preventing your vehicle from pulling to one side.

In some instances, wheel balancing may be recommended in conjunction with wheel alignment. Balancing ensures that the weight of the wheel and tire is evenly distributed, further enhancing a smooth and vibration-free ride.

OUR REVIEWS

Reviews

"We were having an 'issue' with our ac and after a thorough evaluation, the gentleman at Sims kindly informed us there was nothing wrong with the ac except the button was not on. Even though we were the dumb ones, these guys were so nice and honest and didn't speak down to us. They did not even charge us for our mistake. I can't say how much we appreciate their kindness, honesty, time and professionalism."

"Anthony and the team were extremely helpful! Had the run around with some other businesses in Killeen and they squared me away in less than a day! Great service, very reasonable pricing, super understanding and helpful."

by Haley

"Highly recommended!!  Did great work on my daughters car diagnosed it and replaced it and found that the part was faulty and replaced it again all in the same day also checked my ac only to tell me it was fine and didn’t need replacing. Most shops would have changed it anyway. Talk about integrity. This is our new shop!!"
