Our Wheel Alignment & Track Setup Process
What is included in an initial inspection?
Wheel alignment is essential for safety, tyre life, fuel efficiency and handling. Misaligned wheels can quickly cause uneven wear and poor performance. We use dealer-level equipment to set your car’s geometry to factory specifications, or to a custom setup for track days.
What happens during setup adjustment?
Setup adjustment involves using precision alignment equipment to adjust camber, caster and toe angles. For track setups, we can fine-tune these angles to give sharper steering response, improved cornering grip and more predictable handling.
Why do you carry out a road test?
A road test verifies that the car drives straight, handles predictably and feels balanced after adjustments. For performance setups, it allows us to confirm that the car behaves consistently at speed and under braking.
What is the purpose of the final check?
A final check ensures all alignment settings match factory specs, or agreed performance settings, and that bolts and components are torqued to VW Group standards.
FAQs
What are the signs that my vehicle needs a wheel alignment?
The signs that your vehicle needs a wheel alignment include uneven tyre wear, your car pulling to one side, or a steering wheel that sits off-centre when driving straight.
How often should I have my wheel alignment checked?
You should have your wheel alignment checked at least once a year, or whenever you change tyres, suspension parts, or notice unusual handling.
Can wheel alignment improve fuel efficiency?
Yes, wheel alignment can improve fuel efficiency because properly aligned wheels reduce rolling resistance, which makes the car more efficient.
What is a track setup?
A track setup is a customised wheel alignment that changes camber, caster and toe settings to give better cornering grip, faster steering response, and improved stability at speed.
