Performance and durability are just two things you can expect from a vehicle like the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado WT that you can find at your local Chevy dealership. You can add to those assets with regular maintenance such as having a regular wheel alignment.
Wear and Tear
Your tires take a lot to keep you on the road. If you start to feel a slight wobble or your steering does not feel as straight as when you left the showroom, you could be experiencing some uneven wear. You will eventually have to replace your tires, but maintaining them can help extend their life by thousands of miles. When your tires last longer, it will save money over time.
Fuel Efficiency
A car with tires that are not aligned will work harder than it should. To maintain the speed and maneuverability you desire, the engine will compensate for the uneven wear on your tires. This can cause poor fuel efficiency, causing you to use more gas than you should. A proper alignment will help you get the best gas mileage possible, helping you save a lot of money over the life of your vehicle.
Safety
No one wants to put their family in danger. However, driving on tires that are not aligned correctly can increase your chance of having an accident. Wheels with uneven wear can develop knots and fissures that can rupture when they contact even the smallest obstacle on the road. Proper maintenance on your vehicle can prevent these from developing and help keep you and other drivers safe.
Performance
If you are driving and feel your vehicle pulling to one side, or the ride feels rough even when you can see the road has no issues, you may be feeling the alignment. Issues like this will make your ride less smooth and the vehicle could become more difficult to drive over time. Getting your wheels aligned can help keep your vehicle handling as designed, and increase your enjoyment.
Regular Maintenance
Oil changes and regular tune-ups are important for the prolonged life of your vehicle. Having your wheels aligned every 6,000 miles could be the most important thing you do. It will help keep you on the road longer, have a better experience and more enjoyment with your vehicle, and keep you safer. If you practice good driving habits and avoid potholes, your alignment should only take about an hour.
