Wheel Alignments at Tiger Garage in Princeton, NJ

New Jersey roads earn their reputation. Between the potholes on Route 206 and the uneven pavement around town, it doesn't take much to knock your alignment out of spec. One solid pothole hit or a clipped curb can shift your angles enough that your tires start scrubbing unevenly, the car pulls to one side, or your steering wheel sits a few degrees off-center even when you're going straight. None of that is normal, and it doesn't fix itself.

At Tiger Garage on Witherspoon Street, we perform four-wheel alignments using alignment equipment that measures caster, camber, and toe at each corner of the vehicle. We set everything to the specifications your manufacturer published for your specific make and model, whether that's a Toyota Camry, a Subaru Outback, a BMW 3 Series, or anything else we service. Before we hand the keys back, we confirm the steering wheel is centered and the car is tracking straight.

One thing worth knowing: if your alignment keeps going out of spec, or if the car won't align properly, that usually means something in the suspension is worn. A bad tie rod end, a worn control arm bushing, or a bent strut can make it impossible to hold alignment. If we find something like that, we'll show you and explain it before recommending any repair. There's no point aligning a car that has a worn part causing the problem to repeat.

Getting an alignment after new tires, after any suspension work, or once a year if you drive on rough roads is a good habit. It protects the money you spent on tires and keeps handling where it should be.
