WHEEL ALIGNMENT, TIRE ROTATION & BALANCING
Comprehensive Computer Diagnostic, Preventive Maintenance and Repair
Misaligned wheels and unbalanced tires cost you money every mile you drive — through premature tire wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and compromised handling. At Vertical Automotive in Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale, we use precision alignment equipment to adjust camber, caster, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications. Combined with regular tire rotation and balancing, this service maximizes tire life and ensures your vehicle tracks straight and handles predictably. We offer complimentary alignment checks so you know exactly where you stand before committing to any service.
WHEN DO I NEED THIS SERVICE?
Have your alignment checked after hitting a pothole or curb, when installing new tires, if your vehicle pulls to one side, or if you notice uneven tread wear. Tire rotation should be done every 5,000–7,500 miles. Balancing is recommended with new tire installation or if you feel vibrations at highway speeds.
BENEFITS
Correct alignment and balanced tires extend tire life by thousands of miles, improve fuel economy, ensure safe and predictable handling, and provide a smoother, quieter ride. It's one of the simplest services that delivers measurable savings over time.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about our wheel alignment, tire rotation & balancing service.
We recommend a wheel alignment check every 12 months or 12,000 miles, and whenever you notice uneven tire wear, the vehicle pulling to one side, or after hitting a significant pothole or curb. Regular alignments extend tire life and improve fuel efficiency.
A standard two-wheel alignment typically costs $75–$100, while a four-wheel alignment ranges from $100–$150. At Vertical Automotive, we include a printout showing before and after measurements so you can see exactly what was adjusted.
Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your wheels relative to each other and the road surface, affecting steering and tire wear. Wheel balancing corrects weight imbalances in the tire/wheel assembly, eliminating vibrations at highway speeds. Both are important for tire longevity and ride comfort.
Tires should be rotated every 5,000–7,500 miles to ensure even wear across all four tires. This extends tire life, maintains balanced handling, and can be done during your regular oil change visit at Vertical Automotive. We offer free alignment checks with every tire rotation.
