How Does Audi A3 Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Audi A3's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Audi intended. When the system is aligned to Audi specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2018 Audi A3, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Audi recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Audi A3 Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your Audi A3 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2018 Audi A3: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your A3 if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Audi A3 Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Audi A3 wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 2018 Audi A3 wheel alignment costs today.
