September 12, 2017

Uneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Kentwood drivers that their wheels may be out of alignment.

When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor at Tuffy Kentwood (Kalamazoo Ave SE) will inspect your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He?ll also compare your current alignment with the vehicle manufacturer?s settings.

If you have been in a crash, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Kentwood, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your Tuffy Kentwood (Kalamazoo Ave SE) service advisor perform an important alignment check.
