Stop Wasting Money On Uneven Tyre Wear And Poor Handling

Hitting potholes or kerbs can knock your suspension out of alignment, causing your tyres to wear out unevenly and forcing you to buy replacements far too soon. A misaligned vehicle also handles poorly and burns more fuel, silently draining your wallet every time you drive. Our advanced alignment technology restores your vehicle's factory geometry, instantly improving safety and driving comfort. Don't wait until you see bald spots on your tyres; a simple adjustment now saves you significant money and ensures your car drives straight and true.

FAQ's

What is the difference between a wheel alignment and wheel balancing?

This is the most common question we get! Wheel balancing involves adding small weights to the rim to ensure the wheel spins smoothly without vibrating at high speeds. Wheel alignment adjusts the angle of the wheels so they are perfectly parallel to each other and perpendicular to the road. If your car vibrates, you likely need balancing. If it pulls to one side or your tyres are wearing unevenly, you need an alignment. We can do both in the same visit.

How do I know if I need a wheel alignment?

The most obvious sign is if your car "pulls" or drifts to the left or right when you are driving on a straight road. You might also notice that your steering wheel isn't sitting straight (off-centre) even when you are driving in a straight line. However, the most expensive sign is uneven tyre wear—if the inside or outside edge of your tyre is bald while the rest looks new, your alignment is out, and you are ruining your tyres.

I hit a large pothole recently. Should I get my alignment checked?

Yes, absolutely. Modern suspension systems are precise, and a hard impact with a deep pothole or a kerb can easily knock your wheels out of alignment. Even a slight misalignment can cause significant tyre wear over time. If you’ve had a nasty bump, it’s worth booking a quick check to ensure everything is still pointing in the right direction and to avoid premature tyre replacement costs.

How often should I get a wheel alignment?

We recommend getting a wheel alignment every time you fit new tyres—this ensures you get the maximum life out of your new investment. Aside from that, checking it every 12 months or every 10,000 kilometres is good practice. It’s a small maintenance cost that saves you hundreds of dollars in unnecessary tyre replacements and improves your fuel economy by reducing rolling resistance.

How long does a wheel alignment take?

A standard wheel alignment typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour. It’s a precision job where we use laser technology to measure and adjust the suspension angles to the manufacturer's exact specifications. Located directly opposite Milton Railway Station , we make it easy to drop your car off and head to work while we ensure your car drives straight and true.

Tanya Dwyer

"Found myself in a pickle recently with a flat tyre. RACQ were quick to the rescue and pumped it up but told me to get it repaired asap. I wasn't near home so I did a goggle search and found Pearson automotive. I explained my situation and these guys were great. They fitted me in straight away and repairs took next to no time. Best part was the price - they didn't try to up sell or overcharge. Best service and best value I've received in years, thank you! I highly recommend them."
