Signs Your Vehicle Needs an Alignment
If any of these sound familiar, it's time to get your alignment checked:
- Your car pulls to the left or right when driving on a flat, straight road
- Your steering wheel sits off-center even when you're driving straight
- One or more tires are wearing down faster or unevenly compared to the others
- You feel a vibration in the steering wheel at highway speeds
- You recently hit a pothole, curb, or had new tires or suspension work done
Ignoring these signs doesn't just cost you comfort. It shortens the life of your tires and puts uneven stress on
your suspension.

wheel alignment FAQs in Ann Arbor, MI
How do I know if I need a wheel alignment?
The clearest signs are your car pulling to one side, a steering wheel that's off-center while driving straight, or tires wearing unevenly. If you notice any of these, get it checked.
How long does a wheel alignment take?
Most alignments at A2 Auto Glass are completed same day. Exact time depends on your vehicle and whether any additional adjustment or part is needed.
How much does wheel alignment cost?
Cost varies by vehicle and what the alignment reveals once we're underneath it. Call 734-665-3255 for a quote specific to your car. Windshield chip repairs are usually much faster and generally take about 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
Does insurance cover wheel alignment?
Wheel alignment is typically a maintenance service rather than an insurance claim, unless it's tied to accident-related suspension damage. Our team can help you figure out what applies to your situation.
How often should I get my wheels aligned?
As a general rule, once a year or any time you get new tires, hit a significant pothole or curb, or notice pulling or uneven tire wear.
Do I need calibration after a wheel alignment?
If your vehicle has camera or sensor-based driver assist systems, a wheel alignment can throw those systems out of sync. A2 Auto Glass can check and recalibrate them in house during the same visit, so you don't need a separate shop or appointment.
