Wheel Alignment / Tracking

Correct wheel alignment doesn’t just improve handling, it saves tyres, boosts fuel economy, and makes your car safer and more comfortable to drive. At Whatlington Garage, we use the latest 3D alignment technology to make sure everything is set up exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Modern suspension systems are finely tuned for performance, comfort and safety. But over time, everyday driving, potholes, speed bumps or even minor knocks can push things out of alignment. That’s where tracking comes in.

Did you know?
Driving just a few millimetres out of alignment can shave thousands of miles off your tyres’ lifespan and cost you up to 10% more in fuel.

Benefits of Wheel Alignment

Keeping your wheels correctly aligned isn’t just about straight steering. It helps your car perform at its best, protects your tyres, and makes every journey safer and smoother. Here’s what proper alignment can do for you:
  • Better tyre life - reduces uneven or premature tyre wear
  • Improved handling - your car feels stable and responsive
  • Increased safety - keeps the vehicle tracking straight and true
  • Fuel efficiency - less drag and resistance means better MPG
  • Comfort - smoother, less fatiguing drives

Difference Between 2 and 4 Wheel

Not all alignments are the same. Some vehicles only need their front wheels adjusted, while others benefit from a full four-wheel setup. The right choice depends on your car’s suspension design, age, and how precise you want the results to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about wheel alignment and tracking? You’re not alone - it’s one of the most common areas of car maintenance people are unsure about. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often in the workshop. If you don’t see yours, just give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.

If your car pulls to one side, your steering wheel isn’t centred, or your tyres are wearing unevenly, it’s likely time for alignment.

We recommend a check at least once a year, or sooner if you hit a pothole, kerb, or notice unusual tyre wear.

They’re often used interchangeably. “Tracking” typically refers to simple front wheel adjustment, while “alignment” covers the full geometry of all wheels.

Yes - properly aligned wheels reduce rolling resistance, which helps save fuel.

A full 4-wheel alignment usually takes under an hour, depending on your car and condition.

If your car has independent rear suspension (most modern vehicles do), a 4-wheel alignment is the best option for accuracy and performance.

Not always. Fitting new tyres doesn’t automatically include tracking, so it’s worth booking both together.

Yes, misaligned wheels can cause steering vibrations, especially at speed.

With 4-wheel alignment, we provide a before-and-after printout from our 3D system.

You’ll wear through tyres faster, spend more on fuel, and risk your car being harder to control in an emergency.
