Alignment for cars driven in Rostrevor
A foothills suburb backing onto Morialta, with steeper streets than its neighbours on the plain.
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.
Rostrevor sits in City of Campbelltown. 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.
Prestige cars, low profile tyres, and factory tolerances
The eastern suburbs run a high share of European saloons and larger SUVs, and those cars are less forgiving about alignment than a base model hatch. Wider wheels with low profile tyres put more rubber on the road and less sidewall between the rim and the kerb, so both the sensitivity to a bad setting and the chance of a kerb strike damaging something go up together. Many of these cars also have factory alignment tolerances measured in fractions of a degree, and adjustments the workshop next door may not have equipment for. Figures are set against the manufacturer specification for the vehicle, not a generic one.
The rest of the workshop
From Rostrevor to Byron Place
Head in along Lower Portrush Road and Newton 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
Rostrevor questions
Do you do wheel alignment for Rostrevor?
Yes. Rostrevor 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 Rostrevor 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 Rostrevor?
Head in along Lower Portrush Road and Newton 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 Rostrevor 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. Rostrevor customers can have alignment and servicing done in the same visit.
