Drive safer, extend tire life, and save fuel money

Everyday driving, potholes, curbs, and rough Canadian roads can knock your vehicle out of alignment—causing uneven tire wear, poor fuel economy, and reduced handling. If your vehicle pulls, your steering wheel sits off centre, or your tires are wearing unevenly, it’s time for an alignment.

At Kal Tire, our certified technicians use advanced computerized alignment technology to restore your vehicle to factory specifications. You’ll get better performance, longer lasting tires, better fuel economy, and a smoother, safer ride.

About Wheel Alignments

How do I know if my vehicle needs a wheel alignment?

If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, your alignment could be off — and waiting will only cost you more in tire wear and fuel:

• It feels like your vehicle is pulling to one side while you’re driving

• Uneven or rapid tread wear on your tires

• Your steering wheel is off centred when driving straight

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s time to book an alignment.

When, or how often, should I get my wheels aligned?

We recommend your wheel alignment is checked at least once a year, or sooner if you experience any of the following:

• Uneven tire wear, steering pull, or an off-centre steering wheel

• An accident or a hard impact with a curb, potholes, or road debris

• If you lower or lift your vehicle

• If your vehicle drives on 3-season or all-weather tires year-round, and it’s been 1-2 years since your last alignment service

• If you regularly drive on rough or uneven roads

If you book a new tire installation or a tire changeover with Kal Tire, that is a great time to request a routine wheel alignment check. 

What’s included in a Kal Tire wheel alignment?

Every alignment at Kal Tire is performed by certified technicians using precision equipment. You get:

    • A full inspection of steering, suspension, and tire condition

    • Computerized measurement of all alignment angles

    • Adjustment to factory specifications for optimal performance

We don’t just adjust your wheels — we make sure your entire steering and suspension system is working the way it should.

Why do wheels go out of alignment?
Potholes, curbs, and impacts happen, these all will cause suspension and steering components to shift or move slightly, causing misalignment. Some signs of pothole damage or other impacts are immediately apparent, some are not. With 40% of Canadian motorists showing they have experienced pothole damage in the summer, scheduling a wheel alignment service can ensure safe and optimal vehicle performance.
How long does a wheel alignment take?
Most alignments are completed in under one hour, though timing may vary with vehicle type or when combined with other services.
