What is an alignment

In its most basic form, a wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.  The purpose of these adjustments is to maximize the tire life and have a vehicle that tracks straight and true when driving along a straight and level road.


When to perform an alignment

With the weather and roads in Richmond being what they are, we recommend performing an alignment on your vehicle once a year or every 15,000 miles, whichever occurs first.  It is also a good idea to perform an alignment whenever you purchase a new set of tires.
      

Because alignments are so important for max tread life and handling of your vehicle, it only makes good sense for the people trained by Acura to perform such adjustments to your vehicle.

Crown Acura has the latest technology, factory trained technicians, and if you find a cheaper price at any competitor we will match that price.
