Signs You May Need Alignment or Tire Service
Your vehicle pulling to one side, the steering wheel sitting off-center when you're driving straight, uneven or cupped tire wear, or vibration at highway speed are all reasons to have your alignment and tires checked. Hitting a significant pothole or curb — common on Albuquerque's older streets — is one of the most common causes of an alignment going out, even if nothing feels obviously wrong right away.
Alignment Also Protects Your Tires
An alignment isn't just about how the vehicle handles — a misaligned vehicle wears through tires faster and unevenly, which can turn what should be 50,000+ miles of tire life into a much shorter, more expensive cycle. Catching an alignment issue early is often the difference between one adjustment and an early tire replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need an alignment? The vehicle pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel when driving straight, or uneven tire wear are the clearest signs — often triggered by hitting a pothole or curb.
How often should tires be rotated? Roughly every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for most vehicles, often paired with an oil change, to help them wear evenly.
