Motorists suffering from the recent fuel price rise can look to improve their fuel economy by making sure their wheels are properly aligned.

Together with properly inflated tyres, the car’s rolling resistance is minimised, which helps to

Snowy kerb strikes require alignment checks

Unknown or minor damage caused to vehicles during the recent snow and ice could continue to cause drivers extra expense for many months ahead unless they have their vehicle’s alignment properly checked. During the bad weather, many drivers slid into kerbs or drove into deep potholes as they struggled to control their vehicles properly, potentially causing damage or misalignment to their vehicle’s wheels and geometry settings. Cars suffering from misalignment will experience higher running costs as the tyres will wear out prematurely and the increased rolling resistance will cause higher

Driving over potholes is a major cause of wheel misalignment, which can reduce vehicle safety, increase fuel costs plus poor vehicle handling, causing distraction and concern for drivers. According to the website potholes.co.uk, potholes cost UK motorists an estimated £2.8 billion every year. Unless workshops are equipped with the correct equipment, they will not be

Unlike many conventional sensors, the new DSP700 series sensors allow users to carry out ‘rolling compensation,’ making the measurement process much quicker and easier than the traditional jacking compensation method.
