Our 4-Wheel Alignment Service

4-wheel laser alignment is the most accurate way to set your vehicle's tracking and is recommended for all modern cars with independent rear suspension - which includes most vehicles on UK roads today.

During a 4-wheel alignment check, we measure and adjust (where necessary) the following parameters:

  • Toe: Whether the front (or rear) of each tyre points inward or outward. Incorrect toe is the most common cause of tyre scrubbing and wear.
  • Camber: The vertical tilt of the tyre when viewed from the front. Excessive camber causes edge wear.
  • Caster: The angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side. Affects straight-line stability.
  • Thrust angle: Whether the rear axle is pointing in the same direction as the front. Causes the vehicle to 'crab' and can't be corrected by adjusting front alignment alone.

After alignment, we provide a printed report showing before and after measurements, giving you clear evidence of the work carried out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I feel the difference after wheel balancing?

Yes - if your wheels were significantly out of balance, you'll notice a reduction in steering wheel vibration almost immediately after balancing. The improvement in ride comfort can be dramatic on vehicles where the imbalance was severe.

Does wheel alignment improve fuel economy?

Yes - misaligned wheels create additional rolling resistance as tyres scrub sideways. Correcting alignment can improve fuel economy measurably, particularly on high-mileage vehicles. The fuel savings over time can offset the cost of the alignment itself.

How often should I get wheel alignment checked?

We recommend checking alignment annually or every 12,000 miles, after any significant pothole impact, and whenever fitting new tyres. On vehicles used on rough or rural roads, more frequent checks may be beneficial.
