Precise Wheel Alignment That Protects Your Tires

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.

Signs Your Car Needs an Alignment

Your car will usually tell you when it’s out of alignment. If you notice any of these, bring it in for a check.

Pulling to One Side

If you have to hold the wheel to keep the car going straight on a flat road, the alignment is likely off.

Off-Center Steering Wheel

Your steering wheel should be level when driving straight. If it’s crooked, the front wheels aren’t pointing the same way.

Uneven or Fast Tire Wear

Wear on just the inside or outside edge of a tire, or a feathered tread pattern, is a classic sign of misalignment.

After New Tires

An alignment with new tires protects your investment and is often required to keep the tire warranty valid.

After Hitting a Curb or Pothole

A hard impact can bend or shift suspension parts. A quick alignment check catches it before your tires wear out.

After Suspension or Steering Work

Replacing struts, tie rods, control arms or ball joints changes your alignment, so it should always be reset afterward.

What’s Included in Our Alignment Service

Every ExperTec alignment follows the same thorough process.

Inspection and Measurement

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.

Adjustment and Road Test

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.

Wheel Alignment FAQs

How often should I get a wheel alignment?

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.

How long does an alignment take?

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.

What’s the difference between an alignment and tire balancing?

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.

Do you align trucks, SUVs and EVs?

Yes. We align cars, trucks, SUVs, hybrids and electric vehicles of all makes and models.

Is your work guaranteed?

Yes. Every repair includes a 3 Year / 36,000 Mile Nationwide Warranty plus 12 Month / 12,000 Mile Roadside Assistance.
