What Can I Expect with Toyota Matrix Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Toyota Matrix's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Toyota. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to Toyota’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2005 Toyota Matrix, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Toyota recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Toyota Matrix Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your Toyota Matrix 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 might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2005 Toyota Matrix: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Matrix dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
