Alignments on cars & trucks that are modified (lifted, lowered, etc.) - 1 to 2 hours

Inspections - 1 Hour 

Wheel Studs - 1.5 to 2 Hours

Oil Changes - 1 Hour

All other services we typically require a half day (5.5 hours) or full day (11 hours) time frame to complete repairs and/or service.

Ask your service advisor for details. 

Under normal circumstances (if the vehicle is stock) wheel alignments take 1 hour to perform. Some vehicles require more time due to undercovers and higher precision adjustments. Modified vehicles (lifted, lowered or race vehicles) or custom measurements may take longer too. Go to our Wheel Alignment Service page for alignment details. 

TEST DRIVE:

We start by driving your car to see how it handles and to check for any alignment problems.

INSPECTION:

Our technician will check the parts that keep your wheels in alignment to make sure nothing is worn, damaged, or missing.

IF ALIGNMENT RELATED ISSUES ARE FOUND:

If any parts are worn, damaged or missing, we will let you know by email and text. You’ll receive a digital report with pictures or videos showing the problems and suggested action.

IF NO ALIGNMENT RELATED ISSUES ARE FOUND:

We will go ahead with the alignment and still provide a report on your vehicle's condition. If non alignment related issues are found, we will include them in your inspection report.

MEASUREMENTS:

Using our Hunter HawkEye Elite Alignment Machine, we accurately measure the camber, toe, and caster angles of your wheels.

ADJUSTMENTS:

Our technician will adjust all adjustable wheel angles to perform the best possible alignment.

FINAL TEST DRIVE:

After the alignment, we drive the car again to recheck the handling and alignment.

PRINTOUT:

You’ll get a printout that shows the before-and-after wheel alignment measurements for your records. The printout will be placed on your drivers seat.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If any of the alignment angles are not in specification will will notate the reason on the printout. The most common reasons are

• Nonadjustable
• Can not be adjusted into specification
• Bent/Damaged Part

Wheel alignments are performed by adjusting the angles of wheels to the car manufacturer specifications. The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true (without "pulling" to one side). Alignment angles can also be altered beyond the maker's specifications to obtain a specific handling characteristic. The primary measurements that are adjusted are Camber, Caster and Toe. Go to our Wheel Alignment Service page for more info.

*An inspection is the first part of every service we perform*

Under normal circumstances inspections take 1 to 2 hours. The average time is 1 hour for cars, light trucks and single axle trailers. For 1 ton trucks, RV's and tandem axle trailers the average time is 2 hours.  Diagnostic time varies by vehicle and issue.

A digital inspection report will provide you pictures and/or videos of the issues we find with your vehicle. The inspection report will also tell you the condition(s) and action(s) that need to be taken now and in the future. For details visit: Digital Vehicle Inspections

Please see the our Inspection Page for all vehicles. For trailers visit our Trailer Service & Repair Page

Under normal circumstances brakes take 1-3 hours per axle (front 1-3 hours / rear 1-3 hours)

Most brakes commonly use friction between two surfaces (brake pads and discs) being compressed to convert the kinetic energy of the moving object into heat, although other methods of converting energy can be used. For example, regenerative braking converts much of the energy into electrical energy that can be stored for later use. See our Brake Service and Repair page for details.

Every 12 moths or 12,000 miles whichever comes first. Go to our trailer service and repair page for details. 

A coil spring is a helical-shaped mechanical device that is close-wound or open-wound. Coil springs store mechanical potential energy and subsequently release it, to absorb shock, or to maintain a force between contacting surfaces.

Leaf springs are a type of suspension component found in many vehicles, including cars, trucks, and semi-trucks, trailer and buses. They are made up of several metal plates, or leaves, that are stacked on top of one another and attached to the frame of the vehicle at one end and to the axles at the other end. The leaves are flexible, and as the vehicle moves, they compress and expand, allowing the wheels to move up and down to absorb shock and maintain contact with the ground.There are two main types of leaf springs: single-leaf and multi-leaf. Single-leaf springs are made up of a single, long leaf that is more flexible than a multi-leaf spring. They are typically used in smaller vehicles, such as compact cars, because they are lighter and cheaper to produce. Multi-leaf springs, on the other hand, are made up of several leaves that are held together by metal clips. They are stronger and more durable than single-leaf springs, and are often used in larger vehicles, such as trucks and buses, where more load-carrying capacity is required.Leaf springs are an important component of the suspension system, as they help to absorb shock and maintain stability and control. They are also used to support the weight of the vehicle and its payload, and to transfer power from the drivetrain to the wheels. In some vehicles, leaf springs may be used in conjunction with other suspension components, such as shocks or air springs, to provide a more comfortable ride and improve handling.
