Alignment refers not to an adjustment of the tires or wheels themselves, but rather the structure which controls the angles of the tires, which affects how they make contact with the road.

If you’ve noticed indicators like:

• Vehicle pulling to the left or right
• Uneven tread wear
• Steering wheel vibration
• Your steering wheel is off center
  when driving straight

These are signs that you should have your alignment checked and corrected.

A tune–up helps keep your car in top-notch condition and ensures that the lifespan of the engine and other parts are maximized. It also prevents the car from facing unnecessary problems due to negligence. It helps improve the fuel economy, power of acceleration, battery life and increase the overall life of your vehicle. Tune ups on most vehicles includes:

• Full evaluation of ignition system and timing. The older your vehicle is, the more likely it relies on ignition timing.
• New spark plugs, helping to increase mile efficiency.
• Replace oil and filter (as necessary).
• New air filter (as necessary).
• New fuel filters, helping to increase the car’s efficiency.
• Full valve adjustments, when necessary.
• Top off of all fluid levels.

The brake system of your vehicle is by far the most important safety system that it has. Being able to slow down or stop at a moments notice will help to avoid an incident or accident.

The cost of new tires is very minimal compared to the benefits they bring:

• Safety
  
• Increased Performance
  
• Better Gas Mileage
  
• Improved Traction
  
• A Better Driving Experience

New Wheels
A bigger wheel/tire combo not only looks cool, it reduces the tire’s sidewall height. The sidewall is the part of the tire between the inside diameter (where the tire meets the wheel) and the outside diameter (where the tire meets the pavement). The more sidewall you have, the more cushion there is between you and the road. Many cars with 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels have very narrow sidewalls. This design vastly improves handling but tends to deliver a rather harsh ride.
