What Can I Expect with Audi A3 Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Audi A3’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Audi. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When the system is aligned to Audi specifications, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2012 Audi A3, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Audi’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Audi A3

It's a good idea to have your Audi A3 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2012 Audi A3: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your A3 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
