When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Lake In The Hills drivers often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like an accident, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object.
While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday Lake In The Hills driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well.
In addition, your vehicle can lose alignment over time with just normal driving.

Most owner's manuals suggest an alignment check every year or two.
Give us a call.
