Why Is Buick Somerset Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Buick Somerset’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has 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 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: your car handles better, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1986 Buick Somerset, 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 Somerset Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Buick Somerset alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1986 Buick Somerset: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Somerset if your wheel alignment needs attention.

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

On a budget? Buick Somerset wheel alignment might be more affordable than you 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 1986 Buick Somerset wheel alignment estimate.
