How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Your steering wheel pulls to one side or sits off-center when driving straight.
• Uneven or rapid tire wear appears on inner or outer edges of tires.
• Vibration in the steering wheel at highway speeds or a loose, wandering feel while cornering.
• If you’ve hit a curb or pothole, had suspension work, or just installed new tires—these events commonly trigger the need for a four-wheel alignment.

How long does a four wheel alignment service take?

• Most four-wheel alignments at Bill Estes Toyota are completed within about one to two hours depending on road test results and any required adjustments.
• If additional suspension or steering repairs are needed, total service time increases; we provide a clear estimate before proceeding.
• Using OEM-calibrated alignment machines and factory-trained technicians helps us complete work efficiently without cutting corners.
