Wheel Alignment Service in Newtown Square, PA

Six good reasons to get a wheel alignment

A key reason you drive a world-class vehicle like a Porsche is to experience the rewards of superb handling. But even a Porsche can't steer and handle precisely when it's out of alignment. Any vehicle, no matter how highly-engineered, can get knocked out of alignment simply by hitting a curb too hard or running over a fairly large pothole. Here are some good reasons to get regular alignment at Porsche of the Main Line in Newtown Square PA.

Reason #1: Better handling

When your tires are properly aligned, you get better contact with the road which gives you a tighter turning radius. That means your Porsche benefits from better handling. A proper wheel alignment also gives you better traction, which means you can stop more quickly as you drive around Philadelphia. That allows you to come to a stop in a shorter distance which helps you avoid collisions, making the roads safer for you and everyone else. 

Reason #2: A smoother ride

When a vehicle's alignment is off by a big enough margin, your car may start to shake or vibrate. When you have one of our Porsche factory-certified technicians do a wheel alignment, he can adjust the angle of the wheels Into exactly the right positions. That means your wheels will be perfectly vertical and parallel to one another. Instead of vibrations as you drive, you'll once again experience the smooth ride you expect in a Porsche.

Reason #3: Better gas mileage

When your wheels aren't aligned correctly, your car isn't traveling as efficiently and your gas mileage can get lowered. Any car that's out of alignment will tend to pull to one side. When your car is pulling like that, you're actually driving farther than if your tires were perfectly straight. The cumulative effect is to add additional miles in an inefficient way, especially on longer road trips. With today's high gas prices, those extra miles can cost you.

Reason #4: Longer tire life

An improper alignment can cause your tires to wear out faster. When your wheels aren't aligned the way they should be, your tires are contacting the road surface at odd angles and that wears away tire tread in an uneven manner. Some parts of your tires will begin to wear down so rapidly your tire life is significantly reduced. Quality wheel alignments at Porsche of the Main Line are a good investment in the long-term health of your tires.

Reason #5: It's essential when you switch tires

Any time Philadelphia drivers make a transition from regular tires over to snow tires or all-terrain tires for your Porsche, a quality wheel alignment is very important. A new set of tires will have different sizes, tread depth and tread patterns than the tires you had on your vehicle before. A vital part of having us install new tires is also asking us to give you a brand-new wheel alignment as well to make sure the tire change works properly.

Reason # 6: It helps keep you safer

When your wheels and tires are out of alignment, your steering and handling become less precise and less accurate, which can put you at risk. Your Porsche is engineered to be very responsive to your commands and a good wheel alignment will help your Porsche fulfill its mission. Proper wheel alignment leads to better, more accurate handling which leads to a safer ride. Schedule a wheel alignment today at Porsche of the Main Line.
