How Much Is An Alignment ?

2/17/2017

 

Know the true price for an alignment

We are frequently asked: “How much is an alignment?”

Anyone can throw out a quick guess for an answer, but an honest answer? That's relevant to your particular car and requires some careful consideration....

Alignment cost can vary widely, depending on what needs to be adjusted and how the adjustment is performed. To accurately quote a price for an alignment on any vehicle, an alignment inspection must be performed first.
Here’s why….


Picture
All vehicles have several adjustments which are used to set an alignment properly. However, on many cars not all of these adjustments can be made properly without the installation of alignment parts.The type of adjustment and the parts used to make an adjustment (if needed) has an affect on the price of a proper alignment.

It is impossible to know for sure what adjustments or what parts are needed to make those adjustments and therefore the price of an alignment without first inspecting the car by installing, setting up alignment measurement equipment and taking the alignment measurements.

We have developed an alignment process to ensure that you pay only for the time spent working on your car and get a properly aligned car when we are done. All alignments at our shop start with an alignment inspection.

An Alignment Inspection Includes:
  • Road Test the car
  • Inspection of the steering and suspension components
  • Examination of the tires for size, inflation and wear
  • Setup of alignment measurement equipment
  • Comparison of your alignment measurements  to the vehicle manufacturer guidelines


Picture
Once these steps have been completed an accurate estimate of any needed alignment adjustments will be prepared and presented to you prior to any work being performed.

Now, you will know the true and the correct price for an alignment!

Visit us to have our certified technicians provide you with an efficient wheel alignment service.
