Why Is Volkswagen Beetle Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Volkswagen Beetle’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment 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 Volkswagen intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Volkswagen specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Volkswagen recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Volkswagen Beetle Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Volkswagen Beetle 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 Volkswagen Beetle: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Beetle if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Volkswagen Beetle?

Volkswagen Beetle wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. Over the life of your car, it could help you save on overall costs. Correctly aligned wheels can help boost fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Proper wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2012 Volkswagen Beetle wheel alignment estimate.
