ALIGNMENT SERVICES
Correctly aligned tires will reduce tire wear, and ensure that your
vehicle
travels straight and true (without "pulling" to one side). Your tires should
be checked during routine maintenance, but if you notice uneven tire wear or
your car is pulling to one side, you should have a qualified automotive
technician examine your car. You can trust the technicians at Long Hill Auto Service to
thoroughly examine your vehicle's tires and correct the alignment if
necessary. Call us at 908-647-7984 if you have any questions or want to schedule
an
appointment.

Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment usually takes about an hour for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. However, if there is significant wear and tear on suspension components like bushings, track rods, or the alignment system itself, replacement parts may be needed, which could extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can negatively affect your tire performance and lifespan. Even slight misalignments, which are imperceptible to the eye but measurable in small degrees or fractions of an inch, can cause uneven and premature tire wear. Over time, this wear becomes more noticeable, impacting safety and fuel efficiency. To prevent these issues, it's recommended to have your alignment checked every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a tire alignment, three key angles are examined: camber, toe, and caster. Camber refers to the angle between the vertical axis of the tire and a line perpendicular to the road surface when viewed from the front. If the top of the tire tilts inward, creating an "X" shape between the wheels, it's known as negative camber, which can cause excessive wear on the inner edge of the tire due to increased friction.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes, you do! Proper wheel alignment ensures that the angles between your tires and the road surface are accurate, which helps to maximize tire life, improve handling, and ensure even tread wear. This not only boosts fuel efficiency and driving safety but also enhances your overall driving experience.

I can’t say enough good things about Long Hill Automotive. I brought my Ram in with some major shifting and electrical issues that had been giving me a lot of trouble. They took the time to properly diagnose the problem, figured out exactly what was going on, and got everything taken care of. What really impressed me was the level of service. After the work was completed, they actually called me to follow up and make sure everything was running properly and that I was happy with the repair. You just don’t see that kind of customer service very often anymore. Knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and they genuinely seem to care about their customers. My truck is running great, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I highly recommend Long Hill Automotive to anyone looking for a shop they can actually trust. Five stars all the way!!

I can’t recommend this auto body shop enough! We’ve brought all of our cars here over the years, and every single time the experience has been outstanding. The work is always top-notch, the attention to detail is incredible, and you can genuinely tell that this guy takes pride in what he does. What really sets him apart is the honesty, professionalism, and customer service. He treats you like a person instead of just another customer, keeps you informed throughout the process, and makes sure everything is done right—not just done quickly. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your car, but we’ve found that place. If you need body work, repairs, or anything automotive, do yourself a favor and bring your car here. You won’t regret it. Absolutely the best around! Nirio garcia, 08/27/2026 |
Excellent service. We came in with a puncture 10 minutes before they closed, while we were in the middle of a long road trip, and they got us patched up and back on the road very quickly. James Knight, 07/20/2026 |
