Talk to Bothwell Motors about your Wheel Alignment today. We have recently upgraded to our Stare of the Art John Bean V2260 Wheel Aligner over our custom built PIT.

We can combine our fully qualified expertise and knowledge with our local understanding of the driving conditions in Toowoomba to not only make sure your wheels are aligned correctly, but to confirm there are no underlying issues with the technologies behind the wheel that keep you safe on the roads.

Read more about Why only qualified technicians should perform wheel alignment procedures here.

Put simply, the term “wheel alignment” refers to how well the wheels on your vehicle are aligned relative to each other, as well as to the centre line of the vehicle. While alignment settings can differ between manufacturers and models, all vehicles are designed to deliver precise steering and braking responses - but only if the wheel alignment angles are correct for that vehicle.

Braking and steering response is improved

driver fatigue is reduced as the overall driving experience is improved

Maintaining the wheel alignment on your car is an integral aspect of its overall maintenance and upkeep. However, this very important step is often ignored or skipped until the first symptoms of poor wheel alignment show up in the form of ruined tyres. Here's some common signs to look out for…

Uneven or accelerated wear on the edges of your tyres

The steering has a “mushy” feel or has become less responsive

If your car's steering wheel pulls to one side

Obviously, the best time to get a wheel alignment is when noticeable symptoms of poor alignment are present, but there are also other “best” times:

When you replace standard, steel rims with lightweight alloy rims

After any maintenance or repairs on steering or suspension systems - both front and rear

When you perform any modification that alters the vehicle ride height or weight distribution

Bothwell Motors utilise the very latest equipment to test, diagnose and align your wheels. We provide a Nationwide Warranty and a Free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection with every car service from your local Repco Authorised Service Centre.

Wheel balance refers to how smoothly an individual wheel rotates around its own centre. Unbalanced wheels can cause other parts of your car to wear down faster - such as shock absorbers, struts and steering. If your wheels are not balanced properly it can affect the overall performance and feel of your car. 

Your steering wheel or car vibrates at high speed.

Your tyres have had some rough treatment such as potholes or extremely rough roads. 

Bothwell Motors are fully equipped to balance your wheels - if you have any concerns, don't hesitate to make a booking today.
