ALIGNMENT // LASER-DIALLED

What's included

MEASUREBefore, on the rigCamber, caster and toe on all four wheels, printed so you can see how far out it was.
ADJUSTTo the factory specToe and, where the vehicle allows it, camber and caster set to the maker's numbers.
CHECKWorn parts firstIf a tie rod or ball joint has play, an alignment will not hold. We tell you before adjusting anything.
PRINTOUTAfter, in your handThe after numbers on paper, so the work is not a matter of trust.

Signs you need it

Any one of these is enough to put it on the rig. Two of them, and the tires are already paying for it.

  • The vehicle pulls to one side on a flat road.
  • A feathered or one-sided wear pattern on the front tires.
  • You hit a serious pothole, curb or frozen rut this winter.
  • You just bought new tires and want them to last.

Wheel Alignment in the Foothills

What thirty-four winters on Railway Street taught us about this job.

Spring is alignment season in the Foothills. Freeze and thaw open the same potholes every year, and a winter of frozen ruts on the side streets knocks toe out a little at a time until the front tires are feathered by May. New tires are the other trigger: putting a fresh set on an out-of-spec vehicle wears the edge off them in a season. Lifted trucks and lowered cars need an alignment done by someone who has set them up before, because the factory numbers no longer apply. Our rig handles all of it, and the printout means you can see the before and after rather than take our word.

FAQ // WHEEL ALIGNMENT IN OKOTOKS

Straight Answers

Did not find it? Call (403) 938-3110 during shop hours, or ask at the counter.

How much is a wheel alignment in Okotoks?

We only do four-wheel alignments, so there is one price, and lifted or lowered vehicles take longer. Quoted before the vehicle goes on the rig.

How long does it take?

About an hour. It is booked into the bay because the vehicle is on the rig the whole time.

Do you align lifted trucks and lowered cars?

Yes, and we set them to numbers that suit the setup rather than the factory sheet, which no longer applies.

Should I get an alignment with new tires?

If the old set wore unevenly, yes, or the new set will do the same. If the old set wore evenly and nothing has been hit, usually not; we check and tell you.

Why Rim2Rim for alignment?

Laser rig, printout before and after, and a look at the steering parts first so the alignment holds. Calgary and High River drivers book it around a Saturday morning.
