Why Is Buick Electra Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Buick Electra’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In an alignment 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 Buick intended. When the system is aligned to Buick specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 1988 Buick Electra, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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 Electra Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Buick Electra 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 might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1988 Buick Electra: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Electra dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Buick Electra?

Buick Electra wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you 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. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
