Chances are you purchased a Volkswagen to enjoy a smooth, comfortable ride in a quality automobile. When you need an all-wheel alignment, the smooth ride starts to suffer and your vehicle may pull to one side or otherwise drift on the roadway. The situation is far from ideal when minor and can present safety concerns as the alignment issue worsens. If you need four-wheel alignment in Garland, Rusty Wallis Volkswagen is ready to provide a superior customer experience. We also serve the Dallas, Plano, Wylie and Mesquite areas and are ready to have you hitting both the backroads and the Interstate with confidence.
A Volkswagen four-wheel alignment is a close examination of four different basic alignment issues with a vehicle. If you are experiencing an alignment problem, your wheels may be out of sync in one or more of these ways. The technical terms are toe, thrust, caster and camber, and each relates to how your tire is positioned relative to another component of the vehicle, such as the other wheels, the steering axle or the imaginary line down the center of the car. With proper alignment, all your wheels are turning 100% in tandem with no wheel tilted to the outside or inside.
An improperly aligned vehicle will provide a bumpy, uneven ride at best. Over time, the alignment problem leads to uneven wear on your tires. As one side of the tire wears down, you greatly increase the possibility of suffering a flat tire or a blowout. With high-speed highway driving, the safety ramifications are evident. Outside of personal safety, improper alignment can also lead to the uneven wear of other vehicle components.
Whether you know you need one or not, you should stop by for an alignment at least once per year. During the visit, our service technicians will review your alignment and make any necessary adjustments. However, one year is your best-case scenario for this service call. If you hit a hard pothole, run over a curb or experience a suspension issue, your alignment can experience a sudden change and needs to be adjusted as soon as possible. With a really bad case of luck, you could be back in the shop immediately.
