What Can I Expect with Buick Century Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Buick Century's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the 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 suspension is aligned to Buick’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1997 Buick Century, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Buick. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Buick Century Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Buick Century alignment checked about 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 1997 Buick Century: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Century dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

Costs for Buick Century Alignment Services

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. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, 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 1997 Buick Century wheel alignment estimate.
