Why Is Buick Regal Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Buick Regal'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 Buick intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Buick specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1986 Buick Regal, 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 Regal Wheel Alignment

It's a good idea to have your Buick Regal alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected.

Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Regal if your wheel alignment needs attention.
