Common Wheel Alignment Questions
How long does a wheel alignment take?
Most wheel alignments can be completed within an hour, though the exact time depends on your vehicle and any adjustments needed. When you book with Goodyear Autocare Newcastle, we'll let you know what to expect so you can plan your day accordingly.
How often should I get a wheel alignment?
We recommend checking your wheel alignment every 6 months or 10,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. However, you should book an alignment immediately if you notice any warning signs like pulling, vibration, or uneven tyre wear.
What's the difference between wheel alignment and wheel balancing?
Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your wheels to manufacturer specifications, while wheel balancing ensures the weight is evenly distributed around each wheel. When combined, these services work together to provide smooth handling and even tyre wear.
Will wheel alignment improve my fuel efficiency?
Yes, proper wheel alignment can improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance. When your wheels are correctly aligned, your engine doesn't have to work as hard to move your vehicle forward, potentially saving you money at the petrol pump.
Can you align wheels on lowered or modified vehicles?
Our experienced technicians can perform alignments on most modified vehicles, including lowered cars and vehicles with aftermarket suspension. We'll assess your specific setup and adjust the alignment to suit your vehicle's modifications while maintaining safe handling characteristics.
