Wheel Alignment and Tire Adjustments
Ensure your tires are in optimal condition with precise alignment services at Maxi Auto Service. Properly aligned tires not only extend their lifespan but also enhance your vehicle's handling by preventing it from "pulling" to one side. Our certified tire specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously inspect your tires for signs of uneven wear, cracking, or slow leaks.
If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

- Improved Safety: Proper alignment enhances handling, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Increased Tire Life: Evenly aligned wheels prevent premature tire wear, saving you money in the long run.

Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment typically takes about one hour for both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, if significant wear is found in suspension components such as bushings, tie rods, or steering and suspension parts, additional repairs may be required, which can extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can have a negative impact on tire life, vehicle handling, and fuel efficiency. Even minor alignment issues that are difficult to see with the naked eye can cause uneven tire wear over time. To avoid premature tire replacement and maintain safe driving conditions, it is recommended to have your alignment checked approximately every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a wheel alignment, technicians examine three primary alignment angles: camber, toe, and caster. Camber measures the inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front, toe measures how much the tires point inward or outward, and caster measures the steering axis angle. These measurements are adjusted to manufacturer specifications to improve handling, tire wear, and overall driving performance.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes. Having an alignment performed after replacing tires helps ensure the tires meet the road at the proper angles. Correct alignment promotes even tread wear, improves handling, increases fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and enhances overall driving safety and comfort.

Stephanie T., 08/15/2019Great Customer Service
Car & Truck Care, near Fort Oglethorpe, GeorgiaWhen my car broke down, my roadside assistance insurance paid for a tow, and I had my car taken to Maxi. I didn't have the money to pay for the repairs, and Maxi kept my parked there at no charge for several weeks until I was able to afford having it towed to my home. They are super nice and very professional. It's where I will always go in the future for car repairs and maintenance. -
