As a Langley tire rotation and alignment service centre, Hudson Auto understands this service is essential for both safety and performance.
These are two crucial maintenance tasks that often go overlooked, yet they can have a major impact. From the life of your tires, your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, your overall driving experience – and beyond.
Everything You Need to Know About Tire Rotations and Alignments
Tire Rotations
Basically, a tire rotation is the process of moving each tire to a different position on your vehicle to ensure even wear across all tires.
Front tires often wear out faster than rear ones due to the weight distribution and handling of the bulk of the steering and braking forces. By rotating them regularly, you keep the wear even. This prolongs the life of each tire, improves handling, and maintains balanced traction across all four tires.
Tire Rotations
Proper tire alignment, on the other hand, ensures that your tires are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the road.
Misaligned tires can also cause uneven tire wear, poor handling and pulling to one side of the road. A properly aligned vehicle enhances fuel efficiency and prolongs the life of your tires.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Rotation or Alignment Service:
- Uneven tread wear
- Vehicle pulling to one side
- A crooked steering wheel
- Shaking or vibrating while driving
Our Langley service centre can help with all of the above!

As discussed on our Steering & Suspension page…
Proper alignment geometry will extend not only tire life but also the life of your vehicle’s steering and suspension systems. Alignment problems even affect fuel economy!
Due to the wide variety of front and rear suspension systems, the cost of wheel alignments vary greatly depending on the type of alignment needed, if your car has been aligned before, or if it requires special shims to bring the alignment into specifications.
