What Can I Expect with Buick Century Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Buick Century’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Buick intended them to. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Buick specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1996 Buick Century, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Buick recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Buick Century Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Buick Century alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. 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 also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1996 Buick Century: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Century if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Buick Century Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Buick Century wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 1996 Buick Century wheel alignment estimate.
