Wheel Alignments Service In Barnesdale, ON

If your vehicle is pulling from one side to another, or if one or more tires are showing signs of premature or uneven wear, you may need a wheel alignment. At Minit TIRECRAFT St. Catharines, our ASE-Certified Technicians are empowered with state-of-the-art wheel alignment equipment and the expert knowledge to ensure proper wheel alignment, which helps to maximize the life of your tires and avoid costly repairs. We are happy to inspect your vehicle’s wheel alignment at no charge with every tire purchase, but recommend it be checked every six months or after 10,000 km of travel.

You may need an alignment if:

• You need to hold onto the steering wheel to drive straight ahead
• You’ve just changed the tires
• You’ve been involved in a collision
• Steering or suspension parts such as tie rods, control arms, bushings or idler arm have been changed
• You’ve driven the first 3,000 km in a new car
• Your front-wheel-drive because just had a trans-axial repair

Wheel alignments typically take around a half an hour, during which time your service technician will check the pressure of your tires, your vehicle’s steering and suspension.

Wheels are adjusted through their three main parts:

• Castor
• Camber
• Toe

Each part is returned to its original manufacturers specifications during the service.

Checking Sensors

Minit TIRECRAFT St. Catharines is fully equipped to check the steering angle sensor—a feature of many late model vehicles—that senses where you are holding the steering wheel in relation to the wheels. The sensor works with the stability control systems, and must be reset after a wheel alignment.

Did you know?

• Most alignment work will not require new parts, though all tires should be the same size, style, and be properly inflated
• While the rear suspension typically cannot be adjusted on a rear-wheel drive vehicle, front-wheel drive models should always get four-wheel alignment service
