Wheel Alignment

Chevrolet Wheel Alignment in SPOKANE

You may not even know it, but while you've been driving your vehicle around SPOKANE and Post Falls, your wheels may have gradually become misaligned, impacting the health of your vehicle and the safety of your drive. Having the correct wheel alignment for your vehicle plays a critical role in the performance and the longevity of your tires, and driving comfort, cornering, and braking can all be affected by a single wheel being out of alignment. As we drive, our suspension works to smooth out rough patches and uneven road surfaces. However, excessively rough roads or sudden jolts from unexpected potholes or curbs can cause your suspension to shift slightly, resulting in your wheels being misaligned.

    What Causes Wheel Alignment Issues?

    There are endless reasons why your wheels may become un-aligned, but we've listed out some of the most common causes below. If you've experienced any of the following, we suggest bringing your Chevrolet in for a wheel alignment sooner rather than later.

    • Regularly driving on bumpy, cracked, pothole-ridden, or gravel/dirt roads.
    • Hitting a pothole or curb (resulting in a sharp jolting sensation).
    • Driving with worn-out parts like loose suspension, flat/under-inflated tires, bent wheels.
    • Rubbing or scraping from lowering your vehicle or installing new aftermarket wheels/tires.
    Wheel alignments can simply happen out of the blue, so it's important that if you notice any symptoms of poor wheel alignment that you contact a Certified service expert as soon as possible.

      How Long Does a Wheel Alignment Take?

      A wheel alignment will on average take about an hour to complete, depending on the vehicle and severity of your alignment. If there are damaged parts that need to be replaced, it can take longer depending on the situation. Typically a wheel alignment is performed with other services like an oil change or brake repair, so feel free to schedule additional services to save time in the future. If you have a tight schedule, give us a quick call at (509) 209-9973 and one of our service advisors will help find a time that's right for you.

        How Often Do I Need a Wheel Alignment?

        We recommend that you get a wheel alignment every 2-3 years depending on the condition of the roads you usually drive on, or if you regularly modify your vehicle. With the unique climate of SPOKANE, you may need wheel alignments more often, but our Certified Service experts can help you figure out if you need a wheel alignment today or in the future. You can specifically schedule a wheel alignment service, but we recommend having it done on a more regular schedule with your yearly or bi-yearly routine Chevrolet maintenance.
