How Does Volkswagen GTI Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Volkswagen GTI’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the 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 Volkswagen intended them to. When your suspension is aligned to Volkswagen’s optimal measurements, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Bring your 2006 Volkswagen GTI in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Volkswagen’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Volkswagen GTI

It’s wise to have your Volkswagen GTI alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease 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 2006 Volkswagen GTI: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your GTI dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Volkswagen GTI Cost?

Volkswagen GTI 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 2006 Volkswagen GTI wheel alignment estimate.
