What Can I Expect with Buick Century Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Buick Century’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1998 Buick Century, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Buick recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Buick Century Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Buick Century alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1998 Buick Century: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, 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.

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. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1998 Buick Century wheel alignment estimate.
