Gulf Breeze Automotive is a family-owned service center focused on your vehicle’s performance and maintenance. We understand the unpleasant feeling of your vehicle slowly coming out of alignment. Bringing your vehicle in for alignment issues can be a bit nerve-wracking, but don’t worry. We can help you catch issues early to avoid a huge repair bill. We can also send you home safe with a vehicle that performs the right way. Here’s how we fix your car’s alignment and signs you should look out for:
Preventative Maintenance
The most important action you can take to keep your vehicle from becoming out of alignment is to have routine maintenance. Gulf Breeze Automotive is happy to help. When we perform your routine oil change and tire rotation, we can make sure your car’s alignment is also correct by driving your vehicle around and using our machines to ensure that your car’s alignment is within the manufacturer’s range.
Tire rotations are key here. Uneven wear on your tires can gradually make your car out of alignment and keep you pulling your steering wheel in one direction or cornering unnaturally. Even small differences can throw off your precisely tuned vehicle.
Whoops!
Sometimes an issue with your alignment can come from the roads or your speed. Alignment issues can come from hitting speed bumps too fast, hitting curbs with your tires, or going over potholes. Potholes are more difficult to avoid and can be worse than hitting a speed bump in some cases. Major bumps can readily throw off your alignment, especially done repeatedly.
Why Is This Important?
Not only can a poorly aligned vehicle not drive correctly, your vehicle parts like your linkages and tie rods will gradually feel the impact of being over-stressed of your vehicle’s misalignment. A poor alignment that’s never fixed can result in the failure of these parts and be more expensive, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous in traffic. Instead of wondering when your alignment and parts will cause a big issue, bring it to Gulf Breeze Automotive and we can inspect it and offer the repairs needed to keep up. We dislike hearing stories about our customers who are stranded by the side of the road and would love to help prevent those situations.
