An Overview Of Alignment Services at Germain Kia
Alignment services are one of the most important yet most overlooked types of maintenance services. There are three main types of alignment services: alignment checks, two-wheel alignments, and four-wheel alignments. All of these services can be quickly and easily completed by our certified technicians at our properly equipped service center. Not all independent shops have the equipment to complete both two and four-wheel alignments, especially for new vehicles. Alignment services are quite important for the proper operation of your vehicle. Putting off alignment services can have negative effects. Read on to learn more about the importance of alignment services.
Alignment Services
- Two-Wheel Alignment - Also known as a front-end alignment, two-wheel alignment is generally performed on vehicles with a solid rear axle; it involves inspecting and adjusting the camber, toe, and caster angles on the front wheels.

- Four-Wheel Alignment - Vehicles with independent or semi-independent rear suspensions will need to have the camber, toe, and caster angles inspected and adjusted on all four wheels; this is also called an all-wheel alignment.

Why Alignment Services Are Important
Alignment services are quite important to the proper operation of any vehicle, even if they seem like minor maintenance tasks. A properly aligned vehicle will see an increased tire life, which is important because a new set of tires can be expensive. Also, an accurate alignment will allow your vehicle to operate as efficiently as possible, thus saving you money on gas. Not getting alignment services on time will have corresponding negative effects on your vehicle.
What May Happen If You Put Off Alignment Services
Many drivers put off alignment services because they aren't aware of the negative effects that this can have on their vehicles. There are two main negative effects that drivers may notice if they put off alignment services for long enough. First of all, the tires on their car may wear more quickly than usual, or the tires may wear in an uneven pattern. Secondly, an improperly aligned vehicle will not be able to achieve its optimal fuel efficiency rating.
