How Much Does It Cost To Fix Alignment Problems?

E & E Automotive is often asked by our customers in and around the Roanoke area how much it cost to fix alignment problems. Our automotive repair technicians tell our customers that a wheel alignment does not involve only labor costs, no parts, and for a two-wheel alignment they can expect to pay about $30–$75, and for a four-wheel alignment a cost of about $50–$95 can be expected. E & E Automotive tells our customers that a wheel alignment is important as it helps ensure all wheels are running parallel to one another and the tires are hitting the pavement at the proper angle. When wheels are not aligned properly, problems such as irregular tire wear, a crooked steering wheel, or poor vehicle handling may result. A wheel alignment at E & E Automotive can generally take about 1 hour, if not less than an hour. Our wheel alignment specialists place the vehicle on a lift so the wheels can rotate while a computer determines their orientation. This information is used to then compare it to manufacturer's specifications for that vehicle's year, make, and model. Wheel balancing, at a cost of about $12 per tire, can be done when having a wheel alignment done at E & E Automotive.
