Wheel Alignment, Tire Rotation &
Tire BalancingService In Athens, GA
How can you know if your vehicle needs wheel alignment service, and what happens if you put off the appointment? Today, Phil Hughes Honda is answering common wheel alignment questions so you can drive more confidently and safely in Athens, GA, or wherever else the road takes you.
Why Wheel Alignment Service Matters
Many Athens, GA, drivers know that wheel alignment affects how straight a car can drive, but they may not realize the process also requires precise camber, caster, and toe angles for your vehicle's suspension. Even small deviations can throw off your model's performance.
Regular wheel alignment service corrects any inaccurate angles and keeps your car's suspension system and wheels aligned with one another on the road. Skipping a wheel alignment appointment may seem harmless, but it can quietly create safety risks and lead to costly repairs.

Different Types of Wheel Alignment Service
Our dealer specializes in Honda wheel service in Athens, GA, which usually falls into two categories: four-wheel alignment and 4x4 wheel alignment. However, we can align the wheels of any make and model you drive.
Four-Wheel Alignment
If your daily driver has an independent rear suspension – this usually includes all-wheel drive models, sedans, and some crossovers – your wheel alignment service will adjust the toe, camber, and caster angles of all four wheels.
4x4 Wheel Alignment
Most solid axle trucks and many 4WD vehicles require 4x4 wheel alignment, a similar process that ensures the rear and front axles are square with one another. Adjustments are primarily made to the front axle during service.
How Frequently Does Your Vehicle Need Wheel Alignment Service?
Many auto manufacturers recommend booking wheel alignment service every 6,000 to 10,000 miles, or at least once per year. If you drive frequently on roadways littered with potholes or debris, you'll want to make alignment appointments more often. You'll also need wheel alignment service after replacing suspension or steering components and after any fender-benders.
We Also Offer Tire Balancing Service & Other Maintenance
Tire balancing corrects improper weight distributions between your tires and protects your wheel alignment. You should schedule tire balancing according to your owner's manual guidelines, and anytime you have a tire rotation service. We can also combine your wheel alignment and tire balancing appointments for simplified scheduling. Wondering how often to book other maintenance like brake service, oil changes, and air filter swaps? Our Athens service center is happy to help.
What To Expect at Your Wheel Alignment Appointment in Athens, GA
When you arrive for your service appointment, our Honda service center technicians will bring your vehicle into a service bay and begin measuring its current camber, caster, and toe angles. Any discrepancy from manufacturer recommendations will be corrected to ensure straight tracking, improved handling, extended tire life, and increased fuel efficiency.
Our technicians may also test-drive your vehicle, check tire pressure, and adjust the axles. As we work, you can feel free to browse our new and used inventory or simply relax in our customer lounge, where we offer generous guest amenities. Ask your service adviser about our current tire and wheel coupons, too; we're here to make your experience a great one!
