Better Handling with a Wheel Alignment
Drivers rely on their vehicles every day, from commuting to work and school to visiting family and going on road trips. Over time, daily wear and tear wears on suspension parts, making alignment slowly shift.
Combine daily driving habits with potholes, rough roads due to construction, and the occasional curb bump or fender bender, and you’re in need of wheel alignment services every 15,000 miles.
With regular wheel alignments, your vehicle tracks straight and your steering remains predictable. All of this reduces driver fatigue on the road and makes for safer driving. Plus, regular wheel alignments also prevent unnecessary tire wear and help maintain fuel efficiency.
Scheduling wheel alignment services regularly can help prevent damage to suspension components and improve overall driving comfort. Call today to get started. Wheel alignments in Lexington Park from Southern Tire and Auto are 5-star rated and affordably priced, so you have peace of mind.

When Is It Time for a Wheel Alignment ?
Wheel alignments are recommended for most vehicles every 15,000 miles. However, this may vary based on your make and model, so always check the user’s manual or consult with your local mechanic.
You may need a wheel alignment sooner if you drive in especially rough conditions (like Maryland’s frequent roadwork) or have recently had a collision. Always pay attention to how your vehicle is responding and what your average road conditions are. By staying on top of preventive maintenance, you can avoid costly, unexpected repairs.
If a recent collision has occurred or you’re over your 15,000 miles since your last alignment, it’s time to call. And for infrequent drivers, once a year is a safe timeline to bring your car in for a tune-up and check the suspension and alignment.

Is wheel alignment necessary after installing new tires?
Yes, you always want to schedule a wheel alignment with a new tire installation. This ensures your wheels are properly installed for the best performance. This will also help prevent uneven tire tread, protecting your tire investment for longer.
What happens if I delay wheel alignment?
