If you're concerned about the tread on your tires, we recommend the “penny test” to check your tread depth. Simply insert a penny into your tire's tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is less than 2/32 inch and it's time to replace your tires.
Car Alignment
Car alignment, also known as front end alignment or 4-wheel alignment, involves adjusting the angles of your vehicle's wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications. Over time, your vehicle's alignment can get out of adjustment due to normal wear and tear, potholes, curb impacts, or other factors. It's essential to get your car's alignment checked regularly to prevent uneven tire wear, poor handling, and reduced fuel efficiency.
4 Wheel Alignment
A 4-wheel alignment, as the name suggests, involves aligning all four wheels of your vehicle. This type of alignment is recommended for vehicles with independent rear suspension, as all four wheels play a significant role in maintaining proper alignment and handling. Our technicians will carefully measure and adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles of all four wheels to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment is a critical aspect of vehicle maintenance that should not be overlooked. When your wheels are properly aligned, it minimizes tire wear, provides better traction, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances overall driving experience. Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive Greeley is dedicated to providing top-notch wheel alignment services to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely.
Front End Alignment
Front end alignment, also known as two-wheel alignment, focuses on aligning the front wheels of your vehicle. While it may not address potential alignment issues with the rear wheels, front end alignment is suitable for vehicles with solid rear axles. Our skilled technicians will accurately adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles of your front wheels to ensure proper alignment and optimal performance.
