About This Service
A proper wheel alignment ensures your tires meet the road at the correct angle, your wheels point straight, and your tires are centered in the wheel wells. Misalignment causes uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, and reduced fuel economy. Portland roads with potholes and construction zones are especially tough on alignment.
