A proper wheel alignment is one of the most important maintenance services for your vehicle, and at Carter's Tyres Pukekohe we use state-of-the-art laser alignment equipment to get it right every time. Our alignment service is available at our workshop at 63 Manukau Road, Pukekohe, with no appointment necessary.
Pukekohe's roads can be rough on your alignment. The speed bumps around the town centre, the potholed rural roads heading out to Buckland and Patumahoe, and the construction zones near Paerata all contribute to your wheels being knocked out of alignment over time. Signs you need an alignment include uneven tyre wear, the car pulling to one side, or the steering wheel being off-centre when driving straight.
Our wheel alignment service checks and adjusts all three alignment angles — camber, caster, and toe — using precision laser technology. We measure the current angles, compare them to your vehicle manufacturer's specifications, and make adjustments to bring everything back into perfect alignment. The entire process takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
Regular wheel alignments save you money in the long run by preventing premature tyre wear. A misaligned vehicle can wear through a set of tyres up to 30% faster than a properly aligned one. At $89 per alignment versus hundreds of dollars for early tyre replacement, it's a smart investment for Pukekohe drivers.
We recommend a wheel alignment every 10,000km, whenever you fit new tyres, or after hitting a significant pothole or kerb. At Carter's Tyres Pukekohe, we'll check your alignment as part of any new tyre fitting at no extra charge — just ask when you're having new tyres installed.
