Proper wheel alignment is one of the most important and most overlooked maintenance services for your vehicle. Misaligned wheels can cause premature tire wear, poor fuel economy, handling problems, and increased stress on suspension components.
At 4 Aces Auto Centre, we provide computerised four-wheel alignment in Peterborough to help your vehicle track straight, handle properly, and protect your tires from uneven wear. Our alignment equipment allows us to set your vehicle’s angles precisely to manufacturer specifications, and every alignment includes a before-and-after printout so you can see exactly what was corrected.
Wheel alignment is recommended after new tire installation, suspension or steering repairs, hitting a large pothole, or anytime your vehicle starts pulling, wandering, or showing uneven tire wear.
Call 705-748-4223 to book your wheel alignment at 4 Aces Auto Centre.
Wheel alignment refers to the adjustment of your vehicle’s wheel angles so they meet the manufacturer’s specifications. When these angles are off, even slightly, your tires may not sit evenly on the road. That can lead to faster tire wear, poor handling, and reduced fuel efficiency.
The three main alignment angles are camber, toe, and caster.
The clearest signs are pulling left or right, an off-centre steering wheel, uneven tire wear, rapid tire wear, or a vehicle that wanders at highway speeds. A quick visual inspection of your tire tread can often confirm uneven wear, but an alignment check is the most accurate way to know.
A four-wheel alignment at 4 Aces Auto Centre typically costs $99 to $149 for most vehicles, including a before-and-after printout. We currently offer a $50 off alignment promotion, so call 705-748-4223 to confirm current pricing.
As a general rule, we recommend a wheel alignment every 20,000 kilometres, when new tires are installed, after suspension or steering repairs, or after hitting a significant pothole or curb. You should also book an alignment if your vehicle starts pulling, wandering, or showing uneven tire wear.
We strongly recommend it. Misaligned wheels can wear brand-new tires unevenly within 10,000 kilometres, which can waste a major tire investment. Completing an alignment when new tires are installed is far less expensive than replacing tires prematurely.
Misaligned wheels can cause rapid and uneven tire wear, reduced fuel economy, steering instability, driver fatigue, and added stress on suspension and steering components. Over time, the cost of driving with poor alignment can be much higher than the cost of the alignment itself.
Yes. Hitting a large pothole, curb, or road debris can knock your wheel alignment out of specification. If your vehicle starts pulling, your steering wheel sits off-centre, or your tires begin wearing unevenly after an impact, schedule an alignment check.
If your vehicle is pulling, your steering wheel is off-centre, or your tires are wearing unevenly, do not wait until the damage gets worse.

Your vehicle may need an alignment if you notice any of the following:
If your vehicle is showing any of these signs, an alignment check can help confirm whether your wheel angles are out of specification.
Camber is the vertical tilt of your tire when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
If the top of the tire tilts inward, this is called negative camber. If the top of the tire tilts outward, this is called positive camber. When camber is out of specification, one edge of the tire tread can wear much faster than the other.
Toe describes whether your tires point slightly inward or outward when viewed from above.
Toe misalignment is one of the most common causes of rapid, feathered, or sawtooth tire wear. Even a small toe issue can damage tires quickly, and it is often not visible to the naked eye.
Caster is the angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle.
Correct caster helps your steering wheel return to centre naturally after a turn and provides stability at highway speeds. Improper caster can cause wandering, instability, or a vehicle that feels unsettled while driving.
We recommend booking a wheel alignment:
Regular alignment checks help protect your tires, improve ride quality, and reduce unnecessary wear on steering and suspension components.
A proper wheel alignment can help:
Correct alignment helps your vehicle drive the way it was designed to drive.
At 4 Aces Auto Centre, our alignment process is designed to be clear, accurate, and easy to understand.
If your alignment is already within specification, we will tell you. We do not recommend unnecessary service.
Wheel alignment pricing depends on the vehicle, the type of alignment required, and whether additional suspension inspection is needed.
