Wheel Alignment in Burnaby
Precision Alignment for Safer Handling, Even Tire Wear & Better Fuel Efficiency
Proper wheel alignment is essential for vehicle safety, tire life, and overall performance. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, pulling to one side, and reduced fuel economy, all of which increase long-term repair costs and compromise driving confidence.
At Crompton Brothers Automotive, we provide professional wheel alignment service in Burnaby using advanced alignment equipment and industry-proven procedures to ensure every vehicle leaves our shop tracking straight and balanced.
Serving Burnaby since 1980, our technicians diagnose alignment concerns accurately and deliver long-lasting results you can depend on.
What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting your vehicle’s suspension angles so that all four wheels point in the proper direction relative to each other and the road. Proper alignment ensures your tires contact the road evenly, improves handling, and reduces stress on steering and suspension components.
Alignment angles include:
- Camber – tilt of the wheels from vertical
- Toe – direction the wheels point relative to the centerline
- Caster – forward or rearward tilt of the steering axis
Correct alignment balances these angles for optimal performance.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Alignment
Book a wheel alignment if you notice any of the following:
- Vehicle pulls to one side
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Steering wheel is off-centre
- Steering wheel vibration
- Handling feels loose or unstable
- Tires squeal during cornering
- After tire replacement or suspension work
Ignoring alignment issues can lead to:
- Premature tire wear
- Increased fuel consumption
- Suspension and steering wear
- Safety concerns and poor handling
Our Alignment Inspection & Process
At Crompton Brothers Automotive, we begin with a comprehensive alignment inspection, including:
- Road test and visual inspection
- Measurement of wheel angles using precision alignment equipment
- Evaluation of camber, toe, and caster
- Verification of steering and suspension condition
- Adjustment to manufacturer specifications
Once measurements are captured, we adjust alignment angles to bring them within recommended tolerances. After the service, we provide a print-out of before and after measurements so you can see the improvement.
