What Can I Expect with Volkswagen Jetta Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Volkswagen Jetta’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 system is aligned to the measurements that Volkswagen specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Bring your 1988 Volkswagen Jetta 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.

When to Get Volkswagen Jetta Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Volkswagen Jetta 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 1988 Volkswagen Jetta: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Jetta if your wheel alignment needs attention.
