How Our Tire Rotations/Wheel Alignments Work

At My Auto Doctor, we hone our tire rotation and wheel alignment processes to perfection. We combine state-of-the-art technology with the expertise of our trained technicians. Here’s how we do it:

Tire Rotation

1. Inspection

Before we begin, our team thoroughly examines your vehicle’s tires to assess current wear patterns.

2. Air Pressure Check

We ensure that all tires have the appropriate air pressure for optimal performance.

3. Rotation Process

Depending on your vehicle’s drivetrain (front-wheel, rear-wheel, four-wheel, or all-wheel drive), we rotate the tires in a specific pattern to evenly distribute wear. For instance, front tires will often be moved to the rear, and vice-versa, often crossing diagonally.

4. Final Evaluation

After rotation, we re-check the air pressure and make any necessary adjustments to calibrate each tire perfectly.

Wheel Alignment

1. Preliminary Audit

We start by using computerized diagnostic tools to measure your vehicle’s current wheel angles. This tells us how much the wheels are out of alignment.

2. Alignment Correction

Using specialized machinery, we meticulously adjust the angles of the wheels to the manufacturer’s specifications. The three primary angles we adjust are camber (tilt inwards or outwards), caster (tilt forwards or backward), and toe (wheels pointing inwards or outwards).

3. Test Drive

After the adjustments, we do a brief test drive to ensure that the vehicle steers straight and that we correct any prior issues, like pulling to one side or a crooked steering wheel.

4. Final Report

We provide a detailed report highlighting the corrected wheel alignment angles and how they compare to the manufacturer’s specifications.

FAQs About Wheel Alignments and Tire Rotations

1. Do I need a tire rotation or a wheel alignment?

If you notice uneven tire wear or your vehicle pulling to one side, you might need a wheel alignment. However, if your tires have worn differently or you want to extend their lifespan, a tire rotation could be beneficial.

2. How often should I get my tires rotated and wheels aligned?

It’s generally recommended for a tire rotation every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, though it can vary based on your driving habits and vehicle type. Wheel alignment doesn’t have a strict timeline. Still, it should be checked annually if you notice uneven tire wear, steering issues, or after a significant impact like hitting a large pothole.

3. I hit a curb, should I get my wheels aligned?

Yes, it’s a good idea. Even minor incidents like hitting a curb or driving through a deep pothole can disrupt your vehicle’s wheel alignment. It’s best to get it checked to prevent uneven tire wear and potential steering issues.

4. Will wheel alignment improve fuel efficiency?

Absolutely! Properly aligned wheels reduce resistance, meaning your engine doesn’t have to work as hard, leading to better fuel efficiency. Even a slight misalignment can significantly affect your car’s fuel economy.

5. How can I tell if my tires need rotation?

If you notice uneven tire wear, such as more wear on the front tires than the rear ones, it’s time for a rotation. Regular rotations help extend tire life and maintain balanced traction.

6. Can I skip tire rotation if my vehicle has all-wheel drive (AWD)?

No, tire rotation is essential for all vehicles, including those with AWD. While AWD distributes power to all four wheels, it doesn’t prevent uneven tire wear, which can be addressed through regular rotations.

7. Can wheel alignment affect my vehicle's handling and steering?

Yes, improper wheel alignment can lead to poor handling, steering drift, and difficulty maintaining a straight path. Proper alignment ensures your vehicle responds predictably to steering inputs.

8. How long does a typical wheel alignment session take?

Wheel alignment typically takes about an hour. However, the duration can vary depending on factors like the type of alignment needed and the vehicle’s condition.

9. Will modifications to my vehicle affect the wheel alignment?

Yes, modifications like suspension changes or alterations to the vehicle’s ride height can impact wheel alignment. If you’ve made modifications, it’s essential to ensure proper alignment to maintain safe and smooth driving.

10. Can wheel alignment solve steering wheel vibration?

In some cases, yes. If steering wheel vibration is caused by misaligned wheels, a proper alignment can help eliminate the vibration and provide a smoother driving experience.

Hear From Our Satisfied Clients

I was so pleased with the auto engine repair that recently took place. The workmanship, professionalism and customer service from this team could not be beaten - they went above and beyond to swiftly yet expertly resolve my issue! Highly recommended for anyone in need of a reliable repair partner.

I took my 2015 Ram 1500 Eco Diesel in for the AC not cooling. I called and made an appointment, dropped off my truck and the guys diagnosed the problems and give me an estimate before starting any repairs on it .They repaired my truck quickly and got me back on the road in just days , I will definitely be using this shop for any future repairs I need

These guys really helped me out of a jam. I threw a rod in my engine on a long road trip towing a boat, in the middle of the desert and had my Isuzu towed here. They diagnosed the truck (needed a new engine) and let me come back in a week or so to tow the truck and engine back home to Dallas. They gave me a fair price for the diagnosis, were friendly and accommodating, and did not charge me extra for the storage. A+ customer service!! UPDATE: Ended up selling the truck to a member of my owners group, and purchased another Vehicross. Always check oil levels on long road trips, even if it doesn't burn oil during city driving!

These guys made a very bad experience into the best it could be. I was out there this weekend and delivered a travel trailer to my son. I live in Fort Worth and when I started home my Ford F250 threw a engine code and went into limp mode. I dont need to tell you how much it cost to work on a diesel, and to boot I was in Odessa for the first time ever. Called and they got me in the very next morning. Quoted me a price after running all kinds of test. Got me back on the road and ended up cheaper than the original quote. I also had no way of going anywhere so I spent almost 6 hrs with the owner and ship manager. Good people, great service. So good I'm considering driving the 5 hrs back so they can do some upgrades to my truck. Could not of asked for a better outcome to a very stressful situation. And by the way truck ran excellent on the trip home and even got better fuel mileage. Thanks guy's

Awesome business!!! I knew nothing about this place but I called anyway about my A/C not working right on my BMW. The owner told me to bring it by so he could order parts and have it fixed the next day. He put it on a machine and it turns out it was just over charged and took care of it that night. He could have come up with a story saying my car needed this and that but he didn't. I appreciate honesty more then anything. The owner and staff are all very nice and they know what they anything re doing. I will bring my car here from now on whenever it needs something and would highly recommend it to anyone else who needs their vehicle worked on. And their rates are lower then other auto repair shops. I gladly give this place 5 stars!!!!
