Wheel Alignment by FIRST STOP - Santry
If you’re searching for a wheel alignment in Santry, you may already know that correctly aligned wheels are absolutely essential for safe and comfortable driving. But did you know that wheel alignment can also save you money in a couple of ways? Firstly, poorly aligned tyres wear out faster and need to be replaced more often. Secondly, they can also decrease fuel mileage by up to 10%, meaning you have to fill up more often.

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.

"Excellent service. Had my son's car serviced last week. On arrival Ash checked it in. What a lovely polite and efficient young man. Ended up back with my own car after a puncture on Monday morning. Ash manages that very busy reception with such ease. New tyre and back on the road as soon as they opened. Car showed tyre light error today. Went back and, during the distribution of work to all the lads, Ash checked my tyres, one of which was just out of sync. All the lads working away and at the same time having the banter with each other and their customers. Definitely recommend"
