What Can I Expect with Buick Riviera Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Buick Riviera's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 1997 Buick Riviera, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Buick recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Buick Riviera

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Buick Riviera alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. 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 1997 Buick Riviera: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Riviera dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Buick Riviera Cost?

Buick Riviera wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1997 Buick Riviera wheel alignment estimate.
