How Does Chevrolet Volt Alignment Work?
With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Chevrolet Volt’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 Chevrolet intended them to. When the system is aligned to Chevrolet specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2011 Chevrolet Volt, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Chevrolet’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.
How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Chevrolet Volt
It's a good idea to have your Chevrolet Volt 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. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2011 Chevrolet Volt: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Volt dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Chevrolet Volt?
Chevrolet Volt 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 can fill up less often, plus get more miles out of your tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2011 Chevrolet Volt wheel alignment estimate.

My Volt steering wheel is crooked. Will an alignment fix it? A wheel alignment is usually what it takes to fix a crooked Volt steering wheel.
