It’s important that your wheels are aligned properly. You want them pointed in the right direction. One wheel that’s slightly askew can hinder your steering and suspension and impede fuel efficiency.
If you’re concerned about your wheel alignment, you might be searching, “Alignment shop Redbridge”, “What causes tire misalignments?”, “Wheel alignment services”, or something similar. If so, True-Centre Auto Service can help. If you’re interested in learning more about wheel alignments, continue reading.
True-Centre Auto Service is happy to provide wheel alignments to drivers in Redbridge. Our services are precise, professional, and prompt. Read on for more information on why wheel alignments are necessary and how the team at True-Centre performs them.
A vehicle’s wheels aren’t fixed; in fact, if they were, they wouldn’t be able to function properly. The downside of being able to rotate forwards and backwards is that wheels also experience a lot of oscillation and movement side-to-side as time goes on. This can jostle wheels, tires, axles, and driveshafts out of their correct position.
Even a slight misalignment can cause a substantial drop in efficiency. Misalignments can also impede steering, which means it impedes safety. Most of the time, misalignments are caused by gradual wear and tear. Driving over potholes and unpaved roads can contribute to misalignments, as can collisions, of course.
The truth is there’s not a great deal you can do to prevent misalignments. You can do everything right and your wheels will likely still drift out of position over time. This is completely normal, similar to how other parts of your vehicle experience wear and tear. However, there are some things you can do to reduce the likelihood of a misalignment.
Driving at a measured pace allows you to better avoid driving over potholes and bumps. Furthermore, it’s unwise to drive on all-season tires for a over year straight. Last, don’t ignore possible symptoms of a misalignment, just as you shouldn’t ignore your check engine light.
For example, if you’ve noticed your steering wheel is pulling to one side, or you experience uneven tire wear, you should get your vehicle’s alignment checked. A misalignment can cause one or two tires to carry more weight than the others, reducing tread life and tire longevity. At True-Centre Auto Service, we can check your suspension and wheels for an imbalance if you suspect there’s a misalignment, or if we’re installing, balancing, or rotating your tires.
Our alignment services include axle repairs, caster adjustments, and preventive maintenance. We’ll also inspect the mechanical and electronic functions of your steering. Last, our aligner precisely measures the position and orientation of each wheel.
We perform both two-wheel alignments and four-wheel alignments and we’re always extremely careful to avoid damaging our clients’ vehicles as not to need any repair services. When performing an alignment, we take great care to avoid rim damage. That’s why we use an aligner fitted with the latest technology and spring-loaded arms to grip the tire.
There’s no need to keep searching for a highly recommended tire alignment shop near you if you’re in the Redbridge area. Get in touch with the team at True-Centre Auto Service and we’ll get to work diagnosing your vehicle and performing an alignment if necessary.

Was able to get an appointment much quicker than expected. Vehicle was quickly repaired while I waited and was given a 42 point inspection which was not expected but greatly appreciated. Found two items needed repair and appointment was arranged within a week. Was offered a courtesy vehicle again not expected but will use. Estimated cost seems reasonable as compared to dealer price in fact $800 cheaper. Been going to garages for $45+ years never received a goody bag on way home. Will definitely be back

Broke town outside of town on a Friday of a long weekend. Called and had CAA tow me to the garage. The mechanic took a quick look and let me know what was wrong but unfortunately could not repair. Did not charge me anything for the service .

Truck broke at 8:30am and it was in the shop and fixed by noon. Special shout out to Le towing as well for the recommendation. Very good experience overall!
Brandon Heathers Oct 10, 2025
I had the best service ever! I was provided with a shuttle to work that morning and when it came to come pick me up that afternoon their shuttle wasn’t available so they sent a cab at their cost. There was a report submitted by text and by email with pictures and extensive details of their findings. They also did an excellent follow up. The stickers for the next oil change and tire torque are clear and legible. The little goody bag and pack of gum in my vehicle was a nice touch.
Julie Rioux Oct 10, 2025

Amazing experience here. Had some exhaust repairs required on a vehicle I had purchased used not too long ago and was feeling fairly stressed. The team there got me in quickly, sent a detailed report with photos and advised on what needed to be addressed right away and what can be addressed later. Also got an oil change and was overall very happy with the experience and customer service. Thank you!

Service was again friendly. The job was done timely, and I was communicated with effectively to make sure there was no misunderstand in the requested and provided service. I was a repeat customer after a few years (i'm out of town) and would continue to recommend 🙂👍
Amanda Aug 8, 2021
Staff were very kind, knowledgeable and quick when I came in for an oil change. Once the servicing on my car was complete, the front desk attendant went over some of the findings the technician had noted and why they were noteworthy but not necessarily important to do immediately. Moreover, they were not forceful at all when explaining those previous "additional issues" and made it very clear that these could wait for another time but to stay vigilant. Thank you so much for the all the care and consideration that went into taking care of my car!
Ian McCallum Sep 9, 2025
Wow, I’m impressed! I called for an app and they got me in the next morning, did an inspection, told and even showed me the issues on screen and explained everything, did the repairs right after inspection and boom my car drives better than it did when I bought it! First time ever that I got a printed report with photos of what they did and what I need to consider doing next. I even enjoyed the company of the woman that shuttled me home while car was being repaired. All the staff I spoke too were great. All around a great experience and I’ll be going to them from now on! :) 10/10 highly recommend
