When all of your vehicle's wheels are lined up exactly with each other, your wheels are in alignment. Hitting a road hazard or even just the normal bumps and bounces of everyday driving in Fort Wayne can cause your vehicle's wheels to be out of alignment.
Driving for an extended time around Fort Wayne when your wheels are out of alignment results in uneven tire wear. This is dangerous … and expensive. Worst case scenario, you have a blowout on a crowded Indiana highway. It can also cause premature wear to your suspension system, which can be really expensive to repair. At the very least, you may have to replace your tires years too early.

Alignment service at Tuffy Fort Wayne - Coldwater starts with an inspection of the steering and suspension – to see if anything's bent or broken.
