Wheel Alignments in Triangle, VA

You can protect the life of your tires and improve the overall performance of your vehicle with an expert wheel alignment at Quantico Tire & Auto Care in Triangle, VA. Wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of the wheels on your vehicle to the manufacturer’s specifications. This allows your vehicle to make proper contact with the road. Wheels must be lined up correctly to maintain proper control of your car. Wheels that are out of position, may cause driving to become difficult, and may cause your tires to wear unevenly.

Wheel Alignment FAQ’s

If you notice that your steering pulls to the left or right, you experience vibration when turning, your steering wheel is not straight when driving on a straight path, or your tire tread is wearing unevenly, you need to take your car for a wheel alignment.
