Wheel alignment at a glance

Wheel alignment sets the angles of your wheels to the manufacturer's specification, so your car drives straight and your tyres wear evenly. A kerb strike, a pothole or collision repair can all put the alignment out.

Offered at all Fix Auto Collision locations, either in house or through a specialist they work with: Penrose, Mt Wellington, Kingsland, Takanini, Hamilton South, Palmerston North CBD.

Questions people ask us

More about repairs and claims

How do I know if my wheels need aligning?
Common signs are the car pulling to one side, the steering wheel sitting off-centre when you're driving straight, and tyres wearing unevenly. If you've hit a kerb or pothole hard, it's worth getting it checked.
Do I need a wheel alignment after a collision repair?
If the accident affected the wheels, steering or suspension, an alignment is usually part of the repair. The team will check it and include it in your estimate if it's needed.

Not sure where to start? Send a few photos and your nearest workshop will take it from there.
