Alignment FAQs

How long does a full alignment take?

A wheel alignment typically takes about one hour for both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, if significant wear is found in suspension components such as bushings, tie rods, or steering and suspension parts, additional repairs may be required, which can extend the service time.

What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?

Delaying a wheel alignment can have a negative impact on tire life, vehicle handling, and fuel efficiency. Even minor alignment issues that are difficult to see with the naked eye can cause uneven tire wear over time. To avoid premature tire replacement and maintain safe driving conditions, it is recommended to have your alignment checked approximately every 6,000 miles.

What is checked during an alignment?

During a wheel alignment, technicians examine three primary alignment angles: camber, toe, and caster. Camber measures the inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front, toe measures how much the tires point inward or outward, and caster measures the steering axis angle. These measurements are adjusted to manufacturer specifications to improve handling, tire wear, and overall driving performance.

Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?

Yes. Having an alignment performed after replacing tires helps ensure the tires meet the road at the proper angles. Correct alignment promotes even tread wear, improves handling, increases fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and enhances overall driving safety and comfort.

What Our Customers Say

Car & Truck Care

The check service light came on and the car was struggling to get above 60mph when I was driving with my daughter back to Texas from school at Clemson. Afraid we would be stranded somewhere, we exited and grabbed a hotel since everything was closed for the night. I searched Yelp for service shops and K&H was close, opened early, and allowed me to book a 7:30 appointment. Alan (owner) greeted us and checked out the car. After about 30 minutes, he announced it was fixed. Turned out something had tripped the sensor which was causing the car to struggle. Problem fixed. Honestly, I was totally prepared for him to tell me the car wouldn't make it home. That I'd be better off selling it as junk or leaving it with him for a few days and $1000s of repairs. But no. He smiled, offered me a handshake, and told me to have a great trip home. As a small business owner, I appreciate a business/person that simply "does the right thing." Alan did that. And to top it off, after I arrived home and as I was just about ready to type out this review, he called me. Just wanted to make sure we made it OK. Do yourself a favor - if you have to get your car/truck worked on, bring it here!
