A common misconception is that people only need to get their wheels aligned when their car starts pulling to the left or right. The reality we try and tell all of our customers at Budget Brakes is that poorly aligned wheels affect your braking, your cars performance and also your gas mileage. This rather inexpensive service at Budget Brakes can be done in just a few hours, and while it won’t double your mileage, it’ll most certainly help you drive safer and get more out of a tank of gas.
Budget Brakes customers often come to the shop with the idea that wheel alignment is simply about how the wheels are pointed – sadly, it’s a lot more complicated than that, as alongside that specific angle, there are a whole variety of variables that have to be considered. To ensure you get good performance, it is necessary for Budget Brakes technicians to take into account the camber angle, the caster angle and finally the toe-in angle of your wheels. If the camber of the wheel is off, (the slope of a wheel) then your car’s going to be fighting against its self and as a result, braking and fuel economy will be considerably worse.
The only way to know if your wheels are properly aligned is to take them into a shop specializing in wheel alignment. Budget Brakes offer a high quality wheel alignment service that ensures your wheels are set-up according to manufacturer’s instructions, using the latest tools to adjust things perfectly. It’s not something you can do at home, and in fact, it’s not something many auto shops have the tools for.
That’s why traditionally. wheel alignments have always been expensive, but if you’re looking to ensure the safety of both yourself and your passengers and to get a bit more value for money, then with alignments starting from $59, Budget Brakes can set things up for next to nothing.
