Wheel Alignment Service

You rely on your car every day – for the commute, the weekend run-around, or the school drop-off. But when something feels off in the way it drives, even slightly, it can knock your confidence. One common cause? Poor wheel alignment. 

You may not always notice when your wheels are misaligned, but the signs are there. Your steering might pull to one side. You might hear a slight vibration through the wheel. Or you could just feel like your car isn’t handling quite right anymore. Whatever the sign, one thing is clear – proper alignment matters for both safety and performance. 

At our workshop, we believe your vehicle should feel safe, stable, and smooth every time you drive. That’s why we offer a professional wheel alignment service for all types of cars – especially Japanese and European models. 

What is a Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of your tyre and wheel setup, so they’re pointing in exactly the right direction – straight ahead and level with the road. 

Over time, things shift. Everyday driving conditions, small knocks from potholes, and even brushing a kerb can affect your car’s alignment. The changes are usually minor, but they add up. And if ignored, they’ll cause uneven tyre wear, poor fuel economy, and extra stress on your suspension system. 

A quick alignment check can help prevent all of that. 

Why It Matters 

A correct car wheel alignment keeps your vehicle driving straight and smooth. It extends the life of your tyres, improves handling, and helps your vehicle respond better in emergency situations. 

Think of alignment like the foundation of your car’s steering system. If that foundation is off, everything above it starts to struggle, too. 

We also carry out wheel balancing to make sure your tyres spin smoothly without vibration. Alignment and balancing often go hand in hand for a more comfortable and efficient ride. 

When Should You Get a Wheel Alignment?

We recommend a wheel alignment: 

  • After you’ve replaced tyres 
  • After suspension repairs 
  • If your steering feels off-centre 
  • If the car pulls to one side 
  • After hitting a pothole or kerb 
  • Every 10,000–15,000 km as part of regular car service 

It’s not always about fixing a problem. A wheel alignment service is also a smart way to prevent one.

If anything else needs attention, we’ll let you know. No pressure. Just honest advice.

FAQs

Why is a good wheel alignment important?

A good alignment keeps your vehicle stable, makes steering easier, and prevents uneven tyre wear. Misaligned wheels can cause your car to drift or feel unstable, especially at higher speeds. It’s about both safety and comfort. 

You should get your wheels aligned if you notice the car pulling to one side, if the steering wheel isn’t centred, or after replacing tyres or suspension parts. It’s also smart to include it in your regular maintenance schedule – every 10,000 to 15,000 km or once a year. 

A standard wheel alignment typically costs between $109 and $149, ranging from small vehicles to vans, utes, and SUVs/4x4s. The price depends on your specific vehicle type and whether you need a two-wheel or four-wheel alignment. Modified vehicles may cost more depending on the complexity of their suspension and steering modifications. At Enhanced Motors, we will confirm the exact alignment cost before starting any work, so you know what to expect.

Look for a shop that uses state of the art alignment equipment and has experience with your type of vehicle. Make sure they check all alignment angles, not just the toe. It helps to choose a workshop that explains the process clearly and backs up their service with a before-and-after report. 

Wheel alignment adjusts the crucial Camber, Castor, and Toe angles of your wheels, ensuring they sit straight and true according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Wheel balancing, on the other hand, ensures the tyre and wheel weight are evenly distributed to prevent vibration at higher speeds. In short, alignment corrects your car’s steering geometry while balancing keeps the ride smooth.

Getting your wheels aligned keeps your car driving straight, smooth, and safe. Proper alignment reduces tyre wear, improves fuel efficiency, and ensures better steering control. It also helps your vehicle handle more predictably in corners or sudden stops, extending the life of your tyres and suspension components.
