How Do I Know When I Need an Alignment?   Does your car pull to one side or the other going down the road? Front tires wear different than the back? Strange vibrations? The thought “Jesus take the wheel” comes to mind. Well, that's a problem, let's fix it.   A functioning automobile should go down the road straight and smooth and when you make a turn the steering wheel should return to center almost on its own.
