Misalignment happens gradually-hitting potholes, curbs, or just normal road wear-and causes uneven tire wear, pulling to one side, and reduced fuel efficiency. It's smart to check alignment annually or whenever you notice steering issues.

Signs of misalignment include the steering wheel pulling left or right, uneven tire wear, or a crooked steering wheel when driving straight. Catching it early saves your tires and improves safety.

Our technicians know Cadillac suspension geometry perfectly. **Call (779) 265-4427** to schedule an alignment check-it's a small investment that protects your tires and driving comfort.
