Tyre Express carries out wheel alignments using the latest Super tracker STR 600 Digital Alignment Technology. The extensive database of vehicles is regularly updated enabling us to undertake the most precise of wheel alignment on all types of cars.
The system is highly accurate and very reliable and provides high quality digital imaging with four precision cameras that measure the positioning and orientation of the mounted reflection targets on all wheels of the car.
Using this information, the computer can accurately calculate the current alignment measurements.
It takes only a small misalignment to create problems. This also leads to tyres wearing down unevenly and can sometimes cause serious problems when out driving. When you notice your car pulling to the side this usually means that your front wheels are not aligned to the rear thrust line. To drive in a straight line, you would probably have to steer the front wheels slightly to the right or left. This can happen from normal wear and tear but pot holes and poor road surfaces can also contribute to the problem.
When you come to us for wheel alignment or tracking, we will make sure, using our state of the art equipment, that all four wheels are aligned. Unlike most garages who will simply re align the front wheels, which can fix the problem short term, we align all four of your wheels back too manufacturers standards.
Benefits of Four Wheel Alignment:
Better Fuel Mileage:
The less resistance there is the better your fuel economy. Our wheel alignment will set all 4 car tyres up to manufacturers specifications; along with proper inflation will reduce any resistance.
Improved Handling:
If you can feel your car pulling to one side or there is a vague feel to your steering this probably means your alignment is out. Most handling issues can be resolved by correcting your alignment.
Safer Driving:
Before carrying out any alignment work we will inspect your suspension. This allows us to pin point any potential hazards that can lead to costly fixes.
What to expect from us:
We will first establish that the car is able to be aligned with a pre alignment check. The detail of this check may be model specific, but would ensure that any worn steering or suspension components are identified.
We will start with a full four-wheel measurement and adjustment of front individual toe thus straightening the steering wheel, this is then followed by diagnosis of all angles and production of a before alignment printout.
The printout will highlight any problems and will be discussed with you. We will then carry out the alignment process and once complete another printout will be given to you displaying the new alignments so you can view the difference made.
