Why Is Volkswagen Passat Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Volkswagen Passat's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment 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, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2006 Volkswagen Passat, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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 Passat Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Volkswagen Passat alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2006 Volkswagen Passat: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Passat dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.

How Much Does an Alignment for Volkswagen Passat Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Volkswagen Passat wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, 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. Call your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for an accurate 2006 Volkswagen Passat wheel alignment estimate.
