Alignment for cars driven in Paralowie
An eighties family suburb on the northern plains.
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.
Paralowie sits in City of Salisbury. 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.
Long-distance commuting and the cost of being slightly out
A daily run into the city from the northern suburbs is a serious annual distance, and that changes the arithmetic on alignment completely. At highway speed a car that is out of alignment does three things at once: it scrubs tread off the front tyres, it drags, which costs fuel, and it asks the driver to hold a small steering correction the whole way. None of those are dramatic on any single trip, which is exactly why they get ignored. Over a year of commuting they are the difference between getting the expected life out of a set of tyres and replacing them early.
The rest of the workshop
From Paralowie to Byron Place
Head in along Salisbury Highway and Kings 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
Paralowie questions
Do you do wheel alignment for Paralowie?
Yes. Paralowie 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 Paralowie 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 Paralowie?
Head in along Salisbury Highway and Kings 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 Paralowie 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. Paralowie customers can have alignment and servicing done in the same visit.
