How often should I get a wheel alignment for my car in Austin, TX?
We recommend a wheel alignment every 6,000 to 12,000 miles, or at least once a year. However, if you notice uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, or steering wheel vibrations, it’s time for an alignment check. As the leading alignment specialists in Austin, we ensure your vehicle's optimal handling and tire life.
What are the signs that I need a brake service?
Common indicators include squealing or grinding noises when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, longer stopping distances, or the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard. Don't compromise on safety! Schedule a brake inspection with our expert technicians to ensure reliable stopping power.
