What Can I Expect with GMC Canyon Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your GMC Canyon's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. 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 GMC intended. When the system is aligned to GMC specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 2012 GMC Canyon, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from GMC. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get GMC Canyon Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your GMC Canyon alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2012 GMC Canyon: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Canyon dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
