Encountering too many potholes? Could mean it’s time for an alignment!

Don’t you just hate trick questions? Here’s the deal. It’s not just in Kennedale that it’s important to get your vehicle’s alignment done on a regular basis. No matter where you live in the DFW area, there’s always some place where they’re working on road construction (or at least they need to be). That means, from time to time, your car, truck or van is going to be running through some potholes, even in Kennedale. Too often you encounter those potholes and that’s going to result in your vehicle needing an alignment.

So,  just how often should you get an alignment for your vehicle? Here’s the good and bad of it. Typically there is no specific set time frame or requirements. However, the general guideline is to have your vehicle’s wheel alignment done every two – three years.  

Another rule of thumb to help you determine how often to get your vehicle’s alignment done is based on how often you get new tires. When they’re being installed is a great time to get that alignment done.

However, you may need to get the alignment done more often if:

• you have a sports car
• the tires on your vehicle are wider
• your drive to work takes you through a fair amount of potholes
• your teenager borrows the car and runs over a curb.
