Why do a Wheel Alignment?

Why do a Wheel Alignment?

Following the difficult Winter we are experiencing, the Volkswagen Boisbriand Service Centre, on the North Shore of Montreal, suggests that you proceed with a wheel alignment of your vehicle, so that you can ensure their parallelism.

What is wheel alignment used for?

Numerous potholes, damaged pavement, curbs and normal suspension wear are among the main causes of wheel misalignment. It is therefore recommended to check the alignment of the wheels once a year or following a violent impact.

If your vehicle tends to pull to the left or right, it is very likely a wheel alignment is needed. Wondering when to align the wheels? The experts all suggest doing this alignment after 20,000KM.

Wheel alignment price

The price of this service depends on several factors, including the type of your vehicle, whether it is an SUV, sedan or truck. However, aligning your wheels can cost you up to $ 100 and sometimes more. Long-term misalignment of the wheels causes faster degradation and therefore can also drive up the price.

The main advantages of perfect alignment

- To avoid the uneven or premature wear of your tires

- To have better control of your vehicle

- The reduction of consumption because of the reduction of friction on the road, and therefore a reduction of pollution.

For all these excellent reasons, your VW Boisbriand Service Center offers you a free wheel alignment check every time you visit us.
