Tire Alignment and Tire Rotation Services
Wheel Alignment and Tire Adjustments
Ensure your tires are in optimal condition with precise alignment services at Highlands Auto Center. 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.

I can't say enough about Chris and his entire team. Their honesty and integrity truly stood out during what could have been a very stressful situation. We brought our Land Rover in for a second opinion after my daughter had taken her vehicle to the Land Rover dealership in Dallas for a routine oil change. She was charged $450 for a high-grade oil change (which already felt excessive, as I typically pay around $250 in Connecticut), and then presented with a list of recommended repairs totaling over $5,000. What was most concerning is that there were no issues with the car prior to the visit. They claimed she needed a new battery, hoses, and several other items. It honestly felt like my daughter was being taken advantage of. I immediately researched reputable shops in the area and came across Chris. From the very first interaction, he was attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. He had my daughter bring the car in for a diagnostic and provided an honest, thorough quote. Come to find out, her car did not need any of the items the dealership had recommended. Thank you, Chris, and thank you to your entire team for your transparency, professionalism, and most importantly, your honesty. It's rare to find a business you can truly trust, and we are incredibly grateful to have found yours. Highly recommend.

We took our 2007 Jeep Liberty in due to some engine problems. Well, they looked in over and told what I had already suspected - the engine was in bad shape and loosing oil.The owner of the garage made some phone calls and presented us with a price much lower than we expected. We had them do the job (in one and a half weeks) and one their quoted price, we've driven the Jeep for a few days now without any problems. They did a great job and I would recommend them to everyone. Thanks guys for your detail to your work and low prices. I've ad them work on all 4 cars now, we are very satisfied with the out come of each car. I even bought a used car from them -works great. Thanks again Larry F
