The Importance of Computerized Four Wheel Alignments

The most important factors to ensure a long life for your tires is to perform a four wheel alignment under standard maintenance intervals. The vehicle which is properly aligned will ride smoother more comfortably than a misaligned vehicle and will last longer and corner predictably under any road conditions.

Practically it doesn’t matter if your vehicle is front, rear or all wheel driven since there are specifications provided by the vehicles manufacturer. It’s essential to perform a proper alignment on a late model computerized alignment system to achieve maximum accuracy at all times.

Alignments should be performed every second year at latest to compensate for suspension component changes over time and counter the effects of road damage to the suspension components.

A precision tuned aligned suspension not just safer but saves fuel and suspension and tire wear as tires are intended to last a very long time by their respective manufacturers.

An out of alignment vehicle may pull or drift and corner poorly due to the drive train reacting to the vehicles misaligned tires. It’s literally becomes a tug of war between components which in turn may cause additional problems, for example in foul weather may cause a loss of control, if not corrected properly.

Took a little while to write this but here it is... a few months back my husband had an issue with his 2007 HONDA, would not start, seemed like a battery issue but was not as we changed to a new one and still the same problem. Called Atilla at Techmax with the off chance that he would be able to look at it as our normal car guy was not around and we had taken our Mini to Techmax previously and were very happy with the service. Unfortunately, Techmax was closing for a 2 week vacation in the next couple of hours. Atilla asked if we could explain the issue to him over the phone which we did and he diagnosed the issue told us over the phone how to fix it, thank gawd my husband is a little handy, and 30 minutes later our car was fixed. I am sure that had it been any other shop they would have charged us some type of diagnostic fees +++. Atilla saved us a tow, $ on issue resolution and time. Super happy with these guys once again!!! ***** Looks like all our cars are going to be serviced by Techmax if Attila is willing to take on HONDAs. LOL! But for sure going back for BMW and Mini needs.

Okay so Google only allows one review per user and unfortunately I must replace my previous 5 star review with the following… Attila, Tony and the Techmax team continue to shine. I was having turbo boost issues with my diesel 2012 BMW X5 and of course I was fearing the worst. They discovered it was simply a leak in the boost pipe. Unfortunately that part would have to be back-ordered but Attila promptly found a quality used one for a very reasonable price. Problem solved. I also requested 4 new tires to be installed along with the 4 wheel alignment that Attila highly recommends. To be honest I cannot recall my ride quality ever being this good. Finally, they cleaned my injectors and replaced the thermostat. The throttle response now is unlike it’s ever been and combined with that low end, full boost torque, it just makes me giggle every time! ? Thanks again guys. Always a pleasure and I’m looking forward to my next service appointment!

Atilla and Tony are fantastic. No nonsense professionals. You want the best, you'll be paying for it but always fair and straight forward. Way better than going to the dealer. I trust their work.
