If you’ve felt your car drifting just a little bit when your hands are loose on the wheel or noticed a shake in your steering, your wheels could be imbalanced, or your car could be out of alignment. Lucky for Boulder and Denver drivers, Done Right Auto Repair offers affordable wheel alignment and balancing.
We know that it may sound like a car that’s out of alignment isn’t the biggest concern, but a misaligned car can lead to uneven tire and brake pad wear, which could lead to blowouts or scarred brake rotors. Misaligned wheels are an easy, affordable fix that can help prevent serious, potentially dangerous maintenance issues down the line.
What’s the Difference Between Wheel Balancing and Alignment?
Most drivers don’t quite know the difference between wheel balancing and wheel alignment, though we do know most of our Denver and Boulder drivers are aware of their importance. Our service experts consider it a part of our job to keep our drivers informed, and we want you to know the difference:
How Do I Know When My Wheels Need to Be Balanced or Aligned?
Unlike some engine troubles that can sneak up on you, you can usually tell when your wheels need to be balanced or aligned. As long as you pay attention to your car and how it behaves when you’re driving, you can prevent any serious damage from imbalanced or misaligned wheels. That is, as long as you know the symptoms.
What Exactly Do These Services Entail?
When you bring your car to us for a wheel balance or alignment, we treat it as if it were one of our own and get things back in order as quickly as possible. While that’s enough for some drivers, we know that there are some of you that want to know exactly what we do when we balance or align your wheels, and we want you to know:
Is Wheel Balance and Wheel Alignment Cost Worth It?
Yes. We can’t stress this enough. You spend $500 on a decent set of tires, and misaligned wheels could cut their lifespan in half. Yet, aligning your wheels costs a fraction of the cost of a new set of tires, and wheel balancing costs even less. Not balancing your tires or aligning your wheels can lead to costly, even dangerous maintenance troubles.
So again, yes, wheel balance and alignment costs are worth it. And here at Done Right Auto Repair, we offer some of the most affordable rates around.
