Wheels become out of alignment for a variety of reasons: hitting potholes, speed bumps, the wheel may have nudged the curb, or the vehicle may regularly run off-road. If your vehicle’s wheels are misaligned, the engine has to work harder to overcome the increased rolling resistance.

This has an adverse effect on both the tires and fuel consumption, with increased stress delivered to mechanical components. Safety is also compromised if the driver must constantly steer to keep a straight line. Save time and money with proper wheel alignments. A properly aligned vehicle is one in which all wheels are aimed in the same direction. Black’s Tire and Auto Service offers commercial trucks alignment service performed by professional technicians at locations across North Carolina and South Carolina.

The Benefits of Truck Alignments

How Can a Wheel Alignment Benefit your Commercial Operation?

The two highest operating expenses in the road transportation industry are fuel and tires. Because of this, routine wheel alignment is the most effective way to control tire costs and can impact fuel costs as well. We recommend a minimum of 2 to 3 alignments per year for every 50,000 to 60,000 miles as part of the average vehicle’s preventive maintenance program. scheduling routine commercial truck alignments can reduce your overall operating costs by keeping your tires pointed straight.
