Ensure your tires are in optimal condition with precise alignment services at Norris' Garage. Properly aligned tires not only extend their lifespan but also enhance your vehicle's handling by preventing it from "pulling" to one side. Our certified tire specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously inspect your tires for signs of uneven wear, cracking, or slow leaks.
If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment usually takes about an hour for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. However, if there is significant wear and tear on suspension components like bushings, track rods, or the alignment system itself, replacement parts may be needed, which could extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can negatively affect your tire performance and lifespan. Even slight misalignments, which are imperceptible to the eye but measurable in small degrees or fractions of an inch, can cause uneven and premature tire wear. Over time, this wear becomes more noticeable, impacting safety and fuel efficiency. To prevent these issues, it's recommended to have your alignment checked every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a tire alignment, three key angles are examined: camber, toe, and caster. Camber refers to the angle between the vertical axis of the tire and a line perpendicular to the road surface when viewed from the front. If the top of the tire tilts inward, creating an "X" shape between the wheels, it's known as negative camber, which can cause excessive wear on the inner edge of the tire due to increased friction.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes, you do! Proper wheel alignment ensures that the angles between your tires and the road surface are accurate, which helps to maximize tire life, improve handling, and ensure even tread wear. This not only boosts fuel efficiency and driving safety but also enhances your overall driving experience.

OUR REVIEWS
Stephen Sheppard, 01/25/2025Highly recommend Norris' Garage - They provided exceptional service, thorough and expert work, and their communication is absolutely top notch. I recently had my 302 engine replaced with a Jasper engine at Norris Garage, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, their service was exceptional. The team demonstrated outstanding professionalism and expertise, ensuring everything was done right. Additionally, they provided extra care to my Bronco that I was not expecting. For example, the dash light indicators on my bronco had fallen behind the instrument panel (because it's an old truck), and the mechanics at Norris garage fished around the back of the instrument panel to find the small light indicators and glued them back into place - this is just one example of many of how they went beyond expectations to ensure that I was taken care of as a customer. Communication was top-notch throughout the entire process. They kept me informed every step of the way, answering all my questions and providing updates on the progress. Their transparency and customer service set them apart. I highly recommend Norris Garage to anyone in need of automotive services. Whether it’s a major engine replacement or routine maintenance, they go above and beyond to deliver quality work. I’ll definitely be returning for future automotive needs!
