Properly aligned tires not only extend their lifespan but also enhance your vehicle's handling by preventing it from "pulling" to one side. Our certified tire specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously inspect your tires for signs of uneven wear, cracking, or slow leaks.
If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment typically takes about one hour for both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, if significant wear is found in suspension components such as bushings, tie rods, or steering and suspension parts, additional repairs may be required, which can extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can have a negative impact on tire life, vehicle handling, and fuel efficiency. Even minor alignment issues that are difficult to see with the naked eye can cause uneven tire wear over time. To avoid premature tire replacement and maintain safe driving conditions, it is recommended to have your alignment checked approximately every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a wheel alignment, technicians examine three primary alignment angles: camber, toe, and caster. Camber measures the inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front, toe measures how much the tires point inward or outward, and caster measures the steering axis angle. These measurements are adjusted to manufacturer specifications to improve handling, tire wear, and overall driving performance.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes. Having an alignment performed after replacing tires helps ensure the tires meet the road at the proper angles. Correct alignment promotes even tread wear, improves handling, increases fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and enhances overall driving safety and comfort.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Beach Auto. I had a tire blowout today and had my truck towed there and I picked up my truck same day a few hours later. This is one of many things they have done for me and my family. They are honest, reasonable and caring. The entire team is just the best. I have a 2016 Silverado with a lot of miles on her and I feel comfortable and confident with them in my corner. Thank you Josh and Marissa!
Car & Truck Care, near Walton County, FL
I had intermittent problems with dash instrumentation display going out. I stopped and without an appointment had diagnostic check done. Receptionist and staff were so kind and prompt to take care of me. And no charge for the diagnostic check. It's refreshing to see a business that wants to help people and not just make a buck!

We are visiting from Illinois and the check engine light came on in our vehicle. I stopped in and spoke to Josh, explained that my code reader indicated a faulty O2 sensor. Josh explained what could cause this code and suggested a diagnostic be done before simply changing parts. Diagnostic was done, sensor changed and we are back on the road. Great staff from Josh, to the office staff, to the technicians. Highly recommend.
