A four-wheel alignment includes measuring and adjusting caster, camber, and toe to factory spec and providing a before/after alignment report.

Our trained technicians start with a suspension and steering inspection, confirm tire pressures, and center the steering wheel. We then set angles to Kia specifications and verify with a test drive. Check our service specials, then schedule service at a time that works for you.

• Front and rear caster/camber/toe measured against Kia specs
• Adjustments made within factory tolerances with a printed report

If tie rods, ball joints, control arm bushings, wheels, or struts are worn or damaged, an alignment alone will not hold.

Before adjustments, we inspect steering and suspension so youre not aligning around a mechanical fault. Excessive play, bent components, or tire damage can mimic alignment issues. Well explain findings clearly and outline next steps so you can decide with confidence.

• Bent wheels or uneven tires can cause pull or vibration
