Professional four-wheel alignment using precision alignment equipment to improve handling, maximise tyre life and help your vehicle perform as intended.

Wheel Alignment at Shaikly Motor Company

Correct wheel alignment plays an important role in your vehicle’s handling, tyre wear and overall driving performance. Even minor changes to the suspension or steering geometry can cause uneven tyre wear, poor handling and increased running costs. At Shaikly Motor Company, we use precision four-wheel alignment equipment to measure and adjust your vehicle’s alignment in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Following every alignment, you’ll receive a detailed report showing the measurements before and after adjustment.

Signs Your Vehicle May Need Wheel Alignment

Vehicle Pulling to One Side

If your vehicle drifts or pulls while driving on a straight road, the wheel alignment may require adjustment.

Uneven Tyre Wear

Tyres wearing more heavily on one edge than the other can indicate incorrect wheel alignment.

Off-Centre Steering Wheel

If your steering wheel is no longer centred when driving straight, your vehicle’s alignment should be checked.

Changes Following Suspension Repairs

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my wheels need aligning?

If your car pulls to one side, the steering wheel isn’t centred, or your tyres are wearing unevenly, it’s likely your wheel alignment is out. A quick check can confirm if adjustments are needed.

How often should wheel alignment be checked?

We recommend checking your wheel alignment once a year or any time you’ve hit a pothole, kerb, or had suspension work done. Regular checks help extend tyre life and improve handling.

What’s the difference between wheel alignment and wheel balancing?

Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your wheels to match manufacturer specs, while balancing corrects any weight imbalances in the wheel and tyre assembly. Both are important, but they fix different issues.

How long does a wheel alignment take?

A standard alignment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the vehicle and whether adjustments are needed. If components are seized, more time will be required. We’ll give you an estimated time when you book, however, this may change upon inspection.
