Watch for uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling left or right on a straight road, an off-center steering wheel, or vibration at speed. These symptoms show the angles are out of spec and can shorten tire life. Our Burlington team verifies the concern, measures all angles, and sets your Sportage to Kia factory targets.

• Car drifts without steering input on level pavement
• Steering wheel not centered when driving straight

It includes 3 core adjustmentscaster, camber, and toeset to Kia factory spec, plus a before/after printout.

Technicians begin with a suspension and steering inspection, confirm tire pressures, then measure and adjust front and rear angles to OEM targets. Youll see documented results and a centered steering wheel after a road test. This factory-spec process supports confident handling and even tire wear on your Sportage.

• Suspension/tie-rod inspection before adjustments
• Digital measurements front and rear to OEM references
• Road test and printed alignment readings for your records

If steering or suspension parts like tie rods, ball joints, or struts are worn, an alignment alone wont hold.

Our technicians inspect components first; if any item is loose or damaged, well explain whats needed before aligning your SUV. Repairing worn parts helps the alignment stay within spec, improves safety, and prevents rapid tire wear. Youll receive clear findings and options so you can choose how to proceed.

• We check for play, torn bushings, and leaks before adjustments
• Written estimate provided for any needed component repairs
• Alignment performed after parts are corrected so specs hold

If it tracks straight with even tire wear, you can wait until the 23 year/30,000-mile interval or after impacts or suspension work.

An alignment is not required at every tire rotation if symptoms are absent and wear is even. Consider aligning when installing new tires to protect your investment. If youre unsure, we can measure angles and show you the readings before you decide.
