How Does GMC G3500 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your GMC G3500’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has 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 GMC intended them to. When your system is aligned to the measurements that GMC specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. Three good things happen as a result: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 1986 GMC G3500 in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match GMC recommendations. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get GMC G3500 Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your GMC G3500 alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. 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 GMC G3500: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your G3500 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for GMC G3500 Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: GMC G3500 wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. In the long run, it could actually help you save money. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, 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.
