On all vehicles the geometry can move out of alignment, this is commonly known as misalignment. There are several reasons why cars become misaligned. From our workshop in Newbury, Berkshire we are able to provide a professional 4 wheel alignment service using our state of the art alignment equipment.

  • Reduced Tyre Wear
    Improper alignment is a major cause of premature tyre wear. Over the years, a properly aligned car can add thousands of miles to tyre life.
  • Improved Fuel Consumption
    Fuel consumption reduces as the drag on the tyres (rolling resistance) decreases. Four wheel alignment sets the wheels straight/parallel, which along with correct tyre pressures, minimises the rolling resistance.
  • Saves Money & Environment
    By preventing premature tyre wear, early tyre disposal and improving fuel economy/ CO2 emissions, it not only reduces the cost of motoring – putting more money in your pocket, but helps the environment too!
  • Improved Handling
    Many handling problems can be corrected by four wheel alignment, giving you the driver a better and enjoyable driving experience.
  • Safer Driving
    Misalignment will make the car less stable when taking emergency or evasive action. A suspension system inspection is part of an alignment procedure, therefore potentially allows worn parts to be spotted before they cause a a more costly problem.
