Computerized four-wheel alignments from ASE-certified technicians at our Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa and Anaheim shops.
A proper wheel alignment keeps your car driving straight, your steering wheel centered and your tires wearing evenly. Potholes, curbs, speed bumps and everyday Orange County driving slowly knock your suspension out of spec, and even a small misalignment can wear out a new set of tires thousands of miles early.
At ExperTec Automotive, our ASE-certified technicians use computerized alignment equipment to measure camber, caster and toe at all four wheels and adjust them to your vehicle’s factory specifications. We inspect steering and suspension parts at the same time, so if a worn tie rod or ball joint is the real cause, you’ll know before it costs you another set of tires.
We align cars, trucks, SUVs, hybrids and EVs of every make and model, and every alignment comes with a printout showing your before and after measurements.
Your car will usually tell you when it’s out of alignment. If you notice any of these, bring it in for a check.
If you have to hold the wheel to keep the car going straight on a flat road, the alignment is likely off.
Your steering wheel should be level when driving straight. If it’s crooked, the front wheels aren’t pointing the same way.
Wear on just the inside or outside edge of a tire, or a feathered tread pattern, is a classic sign of misalignment.
An alignment with new tires protects your investment and is often required to keep the tire warranty valid.
A hard impact can bend or shift suspension parts. A quick alignment check catches it before your tires wear out.
Replacing struts, tie rods, control arms or ball joints changes your alignment, so it should always be reset afterward.
Every ExperTec alignment follows the same thorough process.
We check tire condition and pressure, inspect steering and suspension parts for wear, then mount precision sensors to measure camber, caster and toe at all four wheels.
We adjust each angle to your manufacturer’s specifications, center the steering wheel, road test the vehicle and give you a printout of the before and after readings.
All three ExperTec Automotive shops are open Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

We recommend an alignment check about once a year or every 12,000 miles, any time you buy new tires, and after hitting a curb or pothole hard.
Most four-wheel alignments take about an hour. If we find worn steering or suspension parts, we’ll call you with options before doing any extra work.
An alignment adjusts the angles of your wheels so they point straight. Balancing adds small weights to each wheel so it spins smoothly without vibration. Many cars need both.
