Wheel Alignment by FIRST STOP - D Fitzgerald Autos
If you’re searching for a wheel alignment in Clonshaugh, you may already know that correctly aligned wheels are absolutely essential for safe and comfortable driving.

Secondly, they can also decrease fuel mileage by up to 10%, meaning you have to fill up more often.
The solution is to have your wheels properly aligned—and then keep them that way with an annual wheel alignment by FIRST STOP - D Fitzgerald Autos.

Frequently asked questions
No, it's not the same.
Alignment involves setting the wheels on each axle in parallel, and the axles parallel to each other, adjusting wheel angles so that the car steering does not drift to one side, as well as ensuring driver comfort and good grip for the tyres, thus guaranteeing safety at the wheel.
Balancing is a mechanical process of adjusting the wheels to prevent vehicle vibration at any speed, no matter what type of driving is used.
The modern car is built for comfort, performance and handling. In order to achieve and maintain the best ride possible, the steering and suspension needs to be measured and adjusted within the motor manufacturer’s specifications. This can only be done by measuring all four wheels and having a proper full four wheel alignment measurement.
Wheel alignment can be affected by hitting the kurb or a large pothole in the road or travelling regularly on gravel roads. If alignment is out, it can cause excessive wear to your tyres and problems with steering or suspension.
FIRST STOP - D Fitzgerald Autos customer reviews
"Excellent service, well organised with attention to detail and great customer service. Highly recommend"
"Highly, highly recommended. Volkswagen expertise is the best, bar none. After dealing with multiple other companies David and his team performed a difficult, labour intensive, and complex overhaul of my engine and a timing chain replacement. When I collected my car I was surprised and delighted that David had also serviced the car and sorted out a number of other issues. Original price was already excellent value, with the extra services and the superb customer service it was a perfect experience. Thank you David and all the wonderful team at D Fitzgerald Autos. Best wishes, Roseanne."
"After a main dealer quoted mad money to replace a headlight in my car after it failed the NCT, David was able to get it sorted without needing replacement. Car passed without issue and he saved me a fortune. Cannot recommend them enough, absolute pleasure to deal with. Will be getting all works on my cars done by David in future."
"Called into Dave on Saturday morning to get brake pads for my EV after being told by dealer following a routine service i was in need of them ...Dave checked the pads with the gauge and informed me they were fine for another couple a months no panic His honesty was refreshing and himself and his staff are all great to deal with Ill have no problem travelling from Tallaght to Coolock to have Dave look after my EV"
"Great service. He responded quickly to my request and priced up the items ahead of booking in. No panic or fuss. Job done professionally and at a good price. Even though he is on the other side of the city from me it's well worth the journey as I know I'm dealing with a reliable business who know what they are doing."
"David and the lads are fantastic! They're very professional and work to a high level of quality. Highly recommend them to anyone, superb business."
"Massive thanks to Dave and the the lads for the quick and efficient brake pad change. Dave also gave some great advice regarding the tyres which would be better suited to the car as my front pair are near their end. I will definitely be coming back here in future for any further changes or services. Thanks lads!"
"My family and I have been going to Dave for years. Always a great service. Very friendly. Cannot reccomend enough."
"Fantastic service, sorted me out after a breakdown and even offered to source a local tow truck for me. Had me back on the road next day and gave me some good advice for upcoming NCT. Definitely my go-to from now on."
