Wheel Alignment

Alignment Check:

–          Thoroughly inspect suspension system and steering, which includes checking air pressure and condition of tires.

–          Place vehicle on alignment rack, compensate and mount sensors.

–          Print out and analyze wheel alignment readings.

Standard Wheel Alignment:

–          Check suspension system, steering, air pressure and tire condition.

–          Place vehicle on alignment rack, compensate and mount sensors.

–          Print out and analyze wheel alignment readings.

–          According to manufacturer specifications if applicable: adjust camber, caster and toe angles. (Some vehicles may require additional parts and labor. Your auto care provider can provide details on your specific vehicle).

–          Verify alignment is within manufacturer specifications by printing out final readings.

–          Conduct a road test on the vehicle.

–          12-month/12,000 mile limited warranty provided.

Suspension and Steering Services:

Steering, suspension and driveline components that are worn out can cause a number of issues, including premature tire wear, noise, vibration and misalignment. Our auto care experts will perform a comprehensive suspension and steering inspection with every alignment. Steering control and handling will be vastly improved by replacing worn parts and return your vehicle to its intended operating performance.

At times, misalignment may not show symptoms, while still damaging your tires and even prematurely wearing them out. At Klahanie Service Center, we will inspect the condition of your vehicle’s steering and suspension components and align your tires according to manufacturer specifications. This will keep your vehicle driving properly

 

Wheel Balance

If your tires are unbalanced, you may experience uneven vibration, wear and unsafe driving conditions

 

At KlahanieServiceCenter, our experts will balance your tires and ensure they are moving as evenly as possible. This will ensure maximum driving performance for your vehicle

 

Our tire balance service includes:

• Removal of tires and wheels
• Mount each tire on a specialized balancing machine
• Spinning each tire to ensure the weight of wheel and tire are evenly balanced around the axle
• Locating and fixing any imbalance
• Attachment of a lead weight to counteract any opposite side weight differences
• Remount wheels and tires

 

Why is it important for my tires to be balanced?

Daily wear to your tire tread can cause impairment of weight distribution around the wheels and tires. Keeping your tires balanced will reduce potential vibrations of the steering wheel, floors or seats. Having your wheels balanced will help ensure:

• A smoother drive
• A reduction of tire wear
• Properly functioning drive-train components

 

How often should my wheels be balanced?

Klahanie Service Center recommends your wheels to be balanced every 3k miles- 6k miles. If you are experiencing vibrations or other symptoms, you should bring your vehicle in right away for a wheel balancing.

 

Tire Pressure – Monitoring System

Proper tire pressure maintenance will ensure optimal safety and handling of your vehicle

At Klahanie Service Center, we recommend having your tire pressure monitoring system inspected by our certified technicians. This inspection starts with a systems check on all tire pressure sensors to pinpoint any potential problem. This test also includes:

• Test the vehicle’s tire pressure
• Inspect the tire assembly sensor to ensure it is transmitting date correctly to your vehicle’s computer system
• If needed, replace pressure sensors
• Reset the sensors with our specialized TPMS tool
• Replace the cap, nut, valve core and o-ring seal
• Remount the tires

Why is it important to maintain my vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)?

Your vehicle’s TPMS is an electronic component needed to monitor the air pressure of your tires. Tires need optimal inflation to achieve these potential benefits:

• Optimal vehicle safety and handling
• Optimal fuel efficiency
• Lessened tread wear to tires
• Reduction in braking distance
• Reduction in CO2 emissions

How can I tell when I need to have my TPMS tested?

Most of today’s vehicles come equipped with tire pressure monitoring components. If you see a ‘low tire pressure’ warning light when the ignition is turned on with the key, then you have a TPMS system. If your warning light comes on and stays lit, it means your tire pressure has fallen to 25 or more percent below the manufacturer’s standard level. You should immediately bring your vehicle to Klahanie Service Center for an inspection and correction of tire pressure and sensors
