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.

Reviews
My car had a stripped oil pan hole and bolt issue that other shops were quoting me for based on an entire oil pan replacement. Leo's shop was the only place that offered to rethread the hole to correct it (without replacing the entire pan) instead. This was a cheaper option that saved me hundreds. I also had some other maintenance work done that was affordable and I knew was needed eventually based on previous inspections. Casey Stewart, 07/05/2024 |
I have been going to Leo's for a while now and they good work. I take my car to them because I trust them and value their honesty when it comes to fixing my car. I would recommend them if you need an honest opinion about your car. Roxie Mcilwain, 04/21/2024 |
