Alignment for cars driven in Klemzig
Sits on the O-Bahn busway corridor, with mixed older housing either side of it.
Whatever is parked in the driveway, the principle does not change. Camber, caster and toe are measured against the specification for your exact vehicle and set where the vehicle has adjustment to give. Steering and suspension are checked before anything is turned, because a worn component will not hold a setting.
Klemzig sits in City of Port Adelaide Enfield. The workshop is a single location in the city at 60 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000, so the car comes to us rather than a van coming to you.
Why north-eastern commuting shows up in tyre wear
This is arterial commuting country, and arterial commuting is where a small alignment error turns into a large tyre bill. A car that sits half a degree out of toe scrubs its tyres sideways a little on every kilometre travelled, so the cost of the fault scales directly with the distance driven. Roundabouts add a second load path: they put sustained cornering force through the front suspension in both directions, several times per trip, which finds any worn bush or tie rod end that is already on its way out. Uneven wear across a front tyre is the usual first sign.
The rest of the workshop
From Klemzig to Byron Place
Head in along Grand Junction Road and Lower North East Road. The workshop is at 60 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000, on the western side of the city centre.
Drop the car in and we will call you when the figures are done. If the alignment turns up something worn in the steering or suspension, you get told what it is and what it costs before any further work starts.
Questions
Klemzig questions
Do you do wheel alignment for Klemzig?
Yes. Klemzig is inside the area we serve. The work is done at the workshop at 60 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000, which is the only location, so bookings for Klemzig vehicles come to the city rather than to a mobile van. Call (08) 8212 1448 or send a quote request and we will arrange a time.
How do I get to the workshop from Klemzig?
Head in along Grand Junction Road and Lower North East Road. The workshop is at 60 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000, in the Adelaide CBD. Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm. Closed weekends.
What does a wheel alignment involve?
Camber, caster and toe are measured on the alignment equipment and compared against the manufacturer specification for your vehicle, then adjusted where the vehicle has adjustment available. Steering and suspension components are checked first, because a worn bush or tie rod end will not hold a setting no matter how carefully it is set.
How often should a car from Klemzig be aligned?
A check is worth doing if the car pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits off centre when you are travelling straight, or the front tyres are wearing unevenly. It is also worth doing after new tyres, after suspension or steering work, and after any solid kerb strike or pothole hit. If none of that applies, having it checked when the tyres are rotated is a sensible interval.
Do you only do wheel alignment?
No. Wheel alignment is the specialism the business is named for, but the workshop also handles brake repair, clutch repair, general car repair and maintenance, logbook servicing for 13 brands, and on-site car support. Klemzig customers can have alignment and servicing done in the same visit.
