Expert Alignments
Convenient wheel alignments at Milito’s Auto Repair Shop in Chicago, IL.
Properly aligned wheels and tires improve driver safety, enhance your driving control, increase fuel efficiency and maximize the life of your tires. Part of general car maintenance, it’s important to pay attention to your vehicle’s steering alignment and bring it into Milito’s Auto Repair if you find it isn’t tracking normally.
If your car is vibrating or the tires are wearing unevenly, schedule an appointment for an alignment at Milito’s!
When your vehicle is out-of-alignment, its suspension and steering systems no longer function at their intended angles resulting in rapid, uneven tread wear – one of the primary reasons for tire replacement.
Save the life of your tires by driving in a properly aligned car, truck or SUV. Make an appointment at Milito’s Auto Repair to get an initial inspection and begin the alignment process.
Before a Tire & Wheel Alignment is Performed on Your Car
Our expert technicians visually inspect and test your car’s suspension components to ensure that the chassis is ready to be aligned prior to performing the service. This is a very important step, because if you try to align a chassis with worn out components, your car or truck will come out of alignment the moment it’s driven down the road.
Drivers are sometimes surprised to find out that they need more than just an alignment, but remember, without properly functioning tie rods, ball joints, shocks, struts, and racks and pinion systems, a proper alignment cannot be performed in the first place.
How does a car get out of alignment?
A car, truck or SUV can get out of alignment for a number of reasons. Driving over damaged roads, curbs, or the general wear and tear of parts due to a vehicle’s high mileage can easily throw a car out of alignment.
Snowy Chicago winters also have an impact on the roads, leaving them littered with potholes and uneven cracks. Both are a strong contributor to the misalignment of wheels, no matter the make or model of your car.
If you car’s steering wheel is vibrating a medium-high speeds, or the tires are worn irregularly, you may need an alignment.
