What Can I Expect with Volkswagen Golf R Alignment?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Volkswagen Golf R’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 suspension is aligned to Volkswagen’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2017 Volkswagen Golf R in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. 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.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Volkswagen Golf R

It’s wise to have your Volkswagen Golf R alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2017 Volkswagen Golf R: pulling to the left or right, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Golf R dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Volkswagen Golf R Cost?

Volkswagen Golf R wheel alignment doesn't cost as much as you might think. In the long run, it could actually help you save 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. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Contact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a no-hassle 2017 Volkswagen Golf R wheel alignment estimate.
