Wheel Alignment Maintenance - 1997 Geo Metro

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Geo Metro’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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 Geo intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Geo specifies for your vehicle, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1997 Geo Metro, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Geo recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

It's a good idea to have your Geo Metro 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 1997 Geo Metro: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Metro dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

Let’s talk numbers: Geo Metro wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. 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. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 1997 Geo Metro wheel alignment costs today.
