Sometimes it can be hard to know when you need to get a wheel alignment. It is not always

obvious and can be very expensive if you get it wrong.

Here are a few handy tips to make the decision easier if you are unsure if your vehicle requires a wheel alignment.

Have a good look under your vehicle at your tyres (or bring it into Tyrepower Kerikeri and let us do it at no charge for you).

If you see something like this, it’s looking like you need to come in and see us.

Tyre wear can be a funny thing, sometimes on the inside edge like the picture above, sometimes on the outside edge of the tyre, sometimes both, sometimes only the middle. All of these things can mean a different reason for the uneven tyre wear.

The team here at Tyrepower Kerikeri know how to identify what is the most likely reason your tyres are wearing unevenly and how to correct it.

Tyre wear is not the only reason to get your wheel alignment checked however.

• Have you had any steering or suspension work undertaken recently?
• Does your vehicle pull to one side when driving?
• Have you hit a pot hole, curb, or judder bar?
• Does your car just not quite feel the same?
• Are you using more fuel than you used to?
• Are your tyres just not lasting?

If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, it is time to come in and see your Wheel Alignment Specialists at Tyrepower Kerikeri.

Give us a call on (09) 407 7773 to arrange a time for your booking, and remember we do not charge for work not undertaken or required.

Remember if we scan your vehicle with our wheel alignment machine and it does not require adjusting then there is no charge. This means no risk to you, as you have the security of knowing that your vehicle is fine after that large pothole or we fix any problems before they start costing you money.
