Wheel Alignment and Tire Adjustments
Ensure your tires are in optimal condition with precise alignment services at Evans Automotive & Tire Center. Properly aligned tires not only extend their lifespan but also enhance your vehicle's handling by preventing it from "pulling" to one side. Our certified tire specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously inspect your tires for signs of uneven wear, cracking, or slow leaks.
If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

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.

Saint Augustine, FL
I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for thee BEST Automotive Service I honestly have EVER had received.. I had an unfortunate experience before coming into Evans last Monday. I had decided over the weekend that I would stop in first thing Monday to see if they could assist me as I was scheduled to travel shortly and put faith that all would flow how it was to go. I was met by Justin who listened.. and took in all that I had asked of them to check out..and had ended up calling a few others times to add some extra things on.. as well as ‘checked in’ to see how things were proceeding. Understanding that at times.. when your car is being checked out.. you just might need to take care of something else.. which was the case …. I appreciated how that was handled.. professional.. and truly caring about the customer.. I was told Matthew was the main tech who worked on my car.. I want to acknowledge and thank him.. I truly APPRECIATE YOU.. your time.. care and hard work.. not just on my vehicle but daily.. as well as ALL who work at Evans.. YOU ALL make a difference and bring your care.. professionalism and knowledge to make the experience for the customer pleasant.. which means a great deal these days.. so thank you ALL.. When I had come to pick up my vehicle.. I was greeted by ‘Ms.Harley’ who definitely wanted to express her gratitude to me .. which made my day.. I’m a number person.. My vehicle is a 2013 GMC.. I bought it at 113,000.. my next oil change.. 123,330… PERFECT.. Thank YOU EVANS AUTOMOTIVE and TIRE CENTER.. I meant what I said.. THEE BEST Service I have EVER had.. I’ll be back.. for sure.. Blessings to you ALL..
