Wheel alignment issues are not always obvious at first, but they can quickly lead to poor handling, uneven tyre wear and higher running costs if left unchecked. Your car may need a wheel alignment check if you notice any of the following signs:
Your car pulls to the left or right when driving on a straight road
The steering wheel is not centred when driving straight
Your tyres are wearing unevenly or more quickly than expected
You feel vibration through the steering wheel
The car feels unstable when cornering or changing lanes
Your steering feels heavier or less responsive than usual
You have recently hit a pothole, kerb or road debris
If something feels off with your steering or tyre wear, it is worth getting your alignment checked. A quick inspection can help prevent unnecessary tyre replacement and may identify steering or suspension issues before they become more expensive to repair.
Maintaining your vehicle’s wheels is super important. Failure to do so can manifest in annoying and expensive problems when ignored. Some typical issues caused by misaligned wheels include:
Diminished Longevity – Misalignment creates uneven wear to your wheels, increasing the frequency with which they need to be replaced.
Fuel efficiency – Misaligned wheels increase rolling resistance, meaning your vehicle will use more fuel than usual.
Reduced handling – Misaligned wheels diminish the handling of your car, making it less stable when braking or turning corners.
If you’re struggling with any of these issues, wheel alignment is likely the answer to your problems.
Here at Lawfix Automotive, we use advanced technology to measure wheel alignment. When you book in with us, your vehicle will benefit from the following:
Toe alignment – Ensuring wheels point in the right direction.
Camber alignment – Ensures even inward and outward titling of the wheels.
Caster alignment – Accurately balances steering and stability by setting the proper suspension angle.
Unlike basic front wheel tracking, which usually focuses on the front wheels only, 4 wheel alignment checks the full vehicle geometry. This can include the front and rear toe settings, camber angles, caster angles where adjustable, and how the wheels sit in relation to the vehicle’s centre line.
A 4 wheel alignment service is especially useful for modern vehicles, vehicles with independent suspension, cars showing uneven tyre wear, or vehicles that have recently hit a pothole, kerb, speed bump, or road debris. It is also recommended after replacing suspension parts, fitting new tyres, or noticing that the steering wheel no longer sits straight.
Correct 4 wheel alignment can help improve tyre life, steering response, handling, fuel efficiency and overall driving comfort. It can also reduce unnecessary strain on steering and suspension components, helping your vehicle drive more smoothly and safely.
If you are unsure whether you need basic wheel tracking or a full 4 wheel alignment, our team can inspect your vehicle and advise on the most suitable option.
Wheel alignment prices vary between vehicle make and model, the type of alignment required, and whether any steering or suspension issues are found during inspection. As a rough guide, we typically charge between £30 to £40 for a basic front or rear alignment, with four-wheel alignment often costing between £60 to £80.
The final cost may depend on whether your vehicle needs front tracking only, four-wheel alignment, specialist adjustment, or further inspection of worn steering or suspension parts.

We highly recommend this. Getting a wheel alignment done after installing new tyres ensures you get maximum longevity and value for money from your new tyres.
You can, however, we wouldn’t recommend it. It’s going to cost you more money long-term ignoring the issue.
Yes. Wheel alignment reduces rolling resistance, allowing your engine to work less hard. This helps improve fuel efficiency.
Taking a knock from a pothole is a common contributing factor to misaligned tyres. If you have taken a nasty bump recently, it’s always worth booking in to check on the tyre alignment.
