Wheel Alignment in Calgary, AB
Your wheels are the most essential part of getting you where you want to go! Being the only part of the car in contact with the road, they need to be properly aligned to complete their function optimally. Wheel alignment refers to the suspension of the wheels relative to the rest of the car – spacing, angles, and stability. When your wheels are properly aligned, your tires last longer and your car is safer to drive.
There are a few telltale signs that your wheels are out of alignment. If you identify any of the following concerns, we recommend you reach out for a wheel alignment as soon as possible.
· Uneven wear on tires
· Vehicle pulling to the left or right
· When driving straight, your steering wheel is not centered
· Vibration in the steering wheel
All of these factors can be distracting, make driving more difficult, and make your vehicle overall, less safe.
Alignment Services
We offer a variety of services to ensure your wheels and suspension are sufficiently aligned:
· Steering and suspension check: Visually inspect your steering and suspension for any required maintenance or repairs.
· Alignments: In all three of the alignment service types we offer, we complete a visual inspection of suspension and advise of any worn, broken, or bent components before alignment.
· Basic Toe Alignment: Perform front wheel alignment. Adjust the Toe to ensure the vehicle is within the manufacturer's recommended specifications. Inform of any issues with Camber or Caster angles.
· Full Alignment: Perform four-wheel alignment. Adjust the Toe, Camber, and Caster to ensure the vehicle is within the manufacturer's recommended specifications. Inform of any issues with angles.
· Custom Alignment: Perform four-wheel alignment. Adjust the Toe, Camber, and Caster to ensure the vehicle meets custom specifications. This option is for performance cars, race cars, or vehicles with aftermarket multi-link suspensions.
Regardless of which type of alignment you are visiting us for, please note that if we are unable to complete the alignment due to bent, broken, or worn components, you will be charged $75 for our basic steering and suspension check and provided an estimate for repairs.
Pricing
Routine wheel alignments can cost anywhere between $99-200, but the cost of replacing your tires because your alignment was out of sorts is significantly higher. Misalignment of your wheels means more tear on your tires, decreasing their lifespan. At Bowest, we have structured our fee schedule with labour costs that reflect attention to detail and extreme care in completing all our services, including wheel alignment.
