When should I get a wheel alignment?
No one really wants to have to get automotive service done. It’s expensive and inconvenient, especially if you have to go without your car for a couple days. Sometimes, however, it’s necessary to do so in order to keep your car operating in tip-top shape. This is especially true if you’re driving a luxury vehicle like a Porsche. It’s not worth the damage that could result from ignoring maintenance needs. Take a look at some of the signs below that indicate it may be time for a wheel alignment!

How to tell when you need a wheel alignment
Bad roads can cause a lot of damage over time. While it may not seem like a huge deal when you hit a pothole or two, once you’ve hit a few you may start to notice a few signs that your wheels are misaligned. These signs are pretty simple. In some cases, the steering wheel will pull one way or the other when you let go of it for a second or two, or that the steering wheel is crooked when you’re driving straight. Squealing tires and uneven tire wear are also clear signs that the wheels need to be re-aligned.

So what happens if you don’t align your wheels? Over time, misaligned wheels can lead to a loss in performance. If your wheels aren’t perfectly parallel to each other, fuel efficiency will take a toll since there is more drag. This can also lead to uneven tire wear, since the tires are hitting the pavement at different angles.
