Wheel alignment in Newbury
When the wheels point even slightly the wrong way, tyres scrub out early and the car stops driving straight. We measure the alignment and set it back to the manufacturer's figures.
Signs the alignment is out
- The car pulls to one side on a straight road
- The steering wheel sits off centre
- Tyres wearing on the inner or outer edge
- The steering feels vague or does not self-centre
- You have recently hit a kerb or a deep pothole
What we do
- Check tyres, pressures and suspension first, because worn parts cannot be aligned
- Measure the current alignment
- Adjust to the manufacturer's settings
- Centre the steering wheel and road test

Questions we get asked
Is tracking the same as wheel alignment?
Tracking usually means setting the front toe angle. Wheel alignment is the wider term and can include the rear wheels and other angles too.
How often should it be checked?
After fitting new tyres or suspension parts, after a hard knock from a kerb or pothole, and whenever you notice the signs above.
Will it fix a steering wheel vibration?
Not usually. A vibration at speed is more often wheel balance or a damaged tyre. We can check which it is.
