Overview
Potholes, kerbs and everyday driving slowly knock your wheels out of line. You'll notice the steering feels heavy, the car pulls, or the tyres wear on one edge. We measure and adjust your alignment back to the manufacturer's spec, then show you the before-and-after readings so you can see exactly what changed.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I get an alignment?
Once a year or every 10,000km, whichever comes first — and any time the steering feels heavy, the car pulls to one side or you've clipped a kerb or pothole.
Will an alignment fix uneven tyre wear?
It stops it getting worse. Tyres already worn on one edge won't grow the rubber back, so we'll tell you honestly whether they've got life left or need replacing.
Can you align trucks and motorhomes?
Yes at selected stores — Palmerston North does truck alignments by appointment and Gore aligns light trucks and motorhomes. Call your nearest store to check.
