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.

Wheel alignment, a fundamental aspect of regular car maintenance, entails the precise adjustment of wheel angles to align with the manufacturer's specifications. This process ensures that your suspension and steering systems operate at optimal angles, ultimately reducing tire wear. Alignment is a complex task and our skilled experts who excel in this field can guarantee precision and quality.
Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
Wheel alignments typically take one hour for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. However, excessive wear and tear on suspension components like bushings, track rods, or the system itself can require replacements, extending the service time.What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Tire alignment is crucial for maintaining optimal tire performance and lifespan. Even slight misalignments, undetectable to the naked eye but measurable in tenths of degrees or hundredths of inches, can lead to premature and uneven wear. As time passes, this wear becomes more pronounced, impacting both safety and fuel efficiency. To avoid these issues, regular alignment checks every 6,000 miles are recommended.What is checked during an alignment?
Three crucial aspects are assessed during a tire alignment inspection: camber, toe, and caster. Camber refers to the angle formed by the vertical axis of the tire and a line perpendicular to the road surface, as viewed from the front. When the top of the tire tilts inwards, creating an "X" shape with the wheels, it's considered negative camber. This can increase wear on the tire's inner edge through increased friction.Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
The answer is yes! A proper wheel alignment ensures precise angles between wheels and the road, maximizing tire life, enhancing handling, and distributing wear evenly across the tread. This translates to better fuel efficiency, safer driving, and a more enjoyable ride.Don't let uneven tire wear diminish the longevity of your tires.

Reviews
Heard great things about Long Hill Auto and tried them out today to have my AC recharged. I went in knowing I needed brakes and front tires. I met Bob (owner) and he said “We’ll start on your car right away but we want to keep it a bit longer to look at the car front to back since it’s your first time here.” He called a few hours later to say “We’re all done but you’ll need front tires & brakes soon…everything looks OK”… Their price was half that of the dealer and their service was incredible. I’m a new (long term) customer. Steven Wilk, 07/18/2024 |
