Precision Wheel Alignment Services in Stratford, PE
Proper Alignment
Protects Your Investment
You might not think about wheel alignment until your tires start wearing unevenly or your steering wheel pulls to one side, but proper alignment affects everything from tire life to fuel economy. At Wendell Taylor’s Garage, we use precision John Bean alignment equipment to ensure your vehicle tracks straight, handles predictably, and delivers the performance it was designed for.
Alignment is about maximizing the value of your tire investment and ensuring your vehicle responds properly when you need it most. Our Red Seal certified technicians understand the precise measurements and adjustments needed to restore proper alignment geometry on all vehicle types.
Advanced John Bean
Alignment Technology
We use John Bean alignment equipment because precision matters. This system delivers advanced imaging, digital accuracy, and manufacturer-level specifications that help us dial in your alignment exactly the way your vehicle was designed to perform.
Modern suspensions and electronic safety systems rely on perfect geometry to function correctly. Our team is trained to use this equipment to its full potential, not just adjusting angles, but restoring proper handling, extending tire life, and maintaining the performance your vehicle had when it left the factory.
Common Alignment Problems
That Cost You Money
These alignment issues frustrate drivers and waste money on premature tire replacement when left uncorrected:
Uneven Tire Wear Patterns
Tires are wearing faster on inside or outside edges, creating dangerous driving conditions and forcing expensive, premature tire replacement within months.
Vehicle Pulling or Drifting
Constant steering correction needed to maintain straight-line driving, causing driver fatigue and indicating alignment angles outside manufacturer specifications.
Steering Wheel Off-Center
The Steering wheel sits crooked when driving straight, creating an uncomfortable driving position and signaling alignment problems that affect vehicle handling.
Reduced Fuel Economy
Increased rolling resistance from misaligned wheels, forcing the engine to work harder, resulting in noticeably higher fuel consumption and costs.
Poor Handling and Stability
Vehicle feels unstable at highway speeds, wanders in crosswinds, or doesn't respond predictably to steering inputs during emergency maneuvers.
Vibration Through Steering Wheel
The Steering wheel shakes or vibrates at certain speeds, often indicating alignment problems combined with tire wear or suspension issues requiring attention.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How often should wheel alignment be checked?
Most vehicles should have alignment checked annually or every 20,000-25,000 kilometers, and immediately after hitting potholes, curbs, or experiencing suspension damage. Regular alignment checks help prevent uneven tire wear and maintain optimal vehicle handling.
What causes wheels to go out of alignment?
Common causes include hitting potholes or curbs, worn suspension components, normal driving wear, accident damage, or lowering/raising vehicle height. Even minor impacts can knock alignment out of specification enough to cause tire wear.
Can bad alignment cause tire damage?
Yes, improper alignment causes uneven tire wear patterns that can make tires unsafe and require premature replacement. Severe misalignment can cause dangerous tire wear that reduces traction and increases the risk of tire failure.
How long does a wheel alignment take?
Every alignment starts with a full suspension inspection to ensure everything is ready to adjust. Most standard alignments are completed within a few hours, but the exact time depends on your vehicle and any worn parts we may need to address. We focus on getting it right, not rushing, so your alignment lasts and your tires wear evenly.
