Alignments from $70, walk-ins welcome
Car pulling to one side? Steering wheel off-centre? Tyres wearing on the inside edge? A wheel alignment puts your wheels back to the angles your car maker set, so the car drives straight and your tyres last longer.
We align cars, 4WDs, lowered cars and lifted utes at our workshop at 1112 Sydney Rd, Fawkner. Walk-ins welcome, or call (03) 9357 3411 to book a time.

Signs you need a wheel alignment
- The car pulls left or right on a straight, flat road
- The steering wheel isn't straight when you drive straight
- Tyres are wearing faster on one edge
- You've hit a kerb or a pothole hard
- You've just fitted new tyres, lowered or lifted the car, or replaced steering or suspension parts
Why it matters
Bad alignment wears tyres out early, which means buying a new set sooner. It can also make the car harder to control in the wet. An alignment costs far less than a new pair of tyres.

Common questions
How often should I get a wheel alignment?
Once a year is a good rule, and any time you fit new tyres, hit something hard or notice the car pulling.
Do I need to book?
No, walk-ins are welcome. If you want a set time, call us on (03) 9357 3411.
Is a wheel alignment the same as wheel balancing?
No. Balancing stops vibration by evening out the weight of each wheel and tyre. Alignment sets the angles of the wheels so the car tracks straight. Balancing is included when we fit new tyres.
Can you align lowered or lifted cars?
Yes. Modified cars often need an alignment after the change. Call us first if your car has aftermarket suspension so we can talk through what's adjustable.
