Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment usually takes about an hour for both two-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. However, if there is significant wear and tear on suspension components like bushings, track rods, or the alignment system itself, replacement parts may be needed, which could extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can negatively affect your tire performance and lifespan. Even slight misalignments, which are imperceptible to the eye but measurable in small degrees or fractions of an inch, can cause uneven and premature tire wear. Over time, this wear becomes more noticeable, impacting safety and fuel efficiency. To prevent these issues, it's recommended to have your alignment checked every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a tire alignment, three key angles are examined: camber, toe, and caster. Camber refers to the angle between the vertical axis of the tire and a line perpendicular to the road surface when viewed from the front. If the top of the tire tilts inward, creating an "X" shape between the wheels, it's known as negative camber, which can cause excessive wear on the inner edge of the tire due to increased friction.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes, you do! Proper wheel alignment ensures that the angles between your tires and the road surface are accurate, which helps to maximize tire life, improve handling, and ensure even tread wear. This not only boosts fuel efficiency and driving safety but also enhances your overall driving experience.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Wonderful service great prices and without a doubt honest. we’ll never go to another mechanic shop again. Automotive Of Mandeville is number one in our book.
Mandeville, LA
Great experience this week working with Jason. We called on Monday and explained our issue, dropping the car off that morning following our conversation. He provided a repair estimate by Monday afternoon and completed the repairs by Friday. They even did us a huge favor on a separate issue with the car that we had not discussed - which to me, reflects a desire to do the right thing for the customer, something not enough businesses do these days! Could not recommend Automotive Center of Mandeville enough for any auto repair needs.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. 1st visit was to customize an old truck for my son with a lift, wheels, stepbar and truck bed. They provided honest thoughtful advice, and it turned out great, so I knew I’d be back. Since then, they’ve done the AC, audio and mechanical repairs and now I won’t go anywhere else, even for routine maintenance. Always responsive, transparent and fairly priced. Highly recommended
