How Does Chevrolet Volt Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Chevrolet Volt’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Chevrolet. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to Chevrolet’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2012 Chevrolet Volt, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Chevrolet recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Chevrolet Volt Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Chevrolet Volt alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2012 Chevrolet Volt: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, 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?

On a budget? Chevrolet Volt wheel alignment might be more affordable than you think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, 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 2012 Chevrolet Volt wheel alignment estimate.

Chevrolet Volt Alignment Questions

  • Where's the alignment light on my 2012 Chevrolet Volt? Pay close attention to changes in your steering. There is no 'alignment light' on your dashboard, so it’s up to you to stay ahead of misalignment. If you notice a change in how your car handles while driving, call on the techs at Firestone Complete Auto Care to check your Volt alignment.
