Wheel Alignment
Precision geometry that keeps your car tracking straight and your tyres wearing evenly.
Recommended interval
Every 10,000–15,000km, or after hitting a significant pothole or kerb
Typical turnaround
Around 45–60 minutes
Warranty
6 months / 6,000km on all work
What is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your wheels — camber, caster, and toe — back to the manufacturer's specification. These angles are set at the factory but shift over time due to potholes, kerb strikes, worn suspension components, and general road wear.
We use laser alignment equipment to measure each angle precisely and adjust it against your vehicle's exact specification, not a generic estimate.
Why this matters for your car
Even a few millimetres of misalignment at the toe angle translates into your tyres scrubbing sideways with every rotation — invisible to the eye, but enough to wear out a set of tyres years before their time. Alignment also directly affects handling precision and how predictably your car responds in an emergency manoeuvre.
On Bulawayo's pothole-heavy roads, alignment shifts are one of the most common — and most overlooked — causes of premature tyre wear.
What happens if you delay this?
This isn't scare-mongering — it's what we see time and again when this exact issue is left unaddressed.
Uneven, premature tyre wear
Misalignment causes tyres to wear unevenly across the tread, often cutting their usable life significantly shorter.
Reduced fuel economy
Misaligned wheels create extra rolling resistance, forcing the engine to work harder to maintain speed.
Compromised handling and safety
A car that pulls or wanders is harder to control precisely, especially during sudden braking or steering input.
Signs you need this now
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth booking an inspection before the issue progresses.
The car pulls to one side on a flat, straight road
The steering wheel isn't centred when driving straight
Uneven wear across the width of a tyre's tread
You've recently hit a pothole or kerb
Our process
Every job follows the same disciplined sequence — diagnose first, explain clearly, then fix it right.
Pre-alignment inspection
We check tyre condition, pressures, and suspension components before adjusting anything.
Laser measurement
Camber, caster, and toe are measured precisely against your vehicle's factory specification.
Precision adjustment
Angles are adjusted to bring your alignment back within spec.
Test drive & verification
We confirm the car tracks straight with no pull before handover.
