Underside inspection at Precision Automotive in New Lynn — steering and suspension geometry check
In detail

Signs you need one

Any of these and the geometry is out. None of them fix themselves.

  • Car pulls left or right
  • Steering wheel sits off-centre
  • Uneven or feathered tyre wear
  • Vague or wandering steering
  • After hitting a kerb or pothole
  • After new suspension parts
  • With a new set of tyres
  • Tyres squealing on turns

$109.25, published

Flat price. If we find the geometry is out because something underneath is worn or bent, we will show you before quoting the repair.

Protects the tyres you own

A set of tyres costs a lot more than an alignment. Getting the geometry right is the single cheapest thing you can do to make them last.

Done properly, not eyeballed

Measured and adjusted to spec — not a quick tug on a tie rod and a hopeful test drive.

Straight answers

Wheel Alignment — the questions we get asked.

How much is a wheel alignment in New Lynn?

A wheel alignment at Precision Automotive is $109.25. That is a flat published price for the alignment itself; if worn or damaged suspension components are the cause, we show you the part and quote the repair separately before doing any work.

How often should I get a wheel alignment?

Once a year is a reasonable rule for most drivers, and any time you fit new tyres, replace suspension parts, or hit a decent pothole or kerb. If the car pulls or the steering wheel is off-centre, do not wait.

Will an alignment fix uneven tyre wear?

It stops it getting worse. Tread that has already worn unevenly will not grow back, so if the wear is severe the tyres may need replacing as well — we will tell you straight which of the two you are looking at.
