After a long, harsh winter, it's important to make sure your vehicle is ready for spring driving. One key aspect of spring car maintenance is checking your tires and alignment, especially after months of navigating icy roads and potholes. At Eagle Chevrolet of Riverhead, we offer expert tire service and wheel alignment to help get your car in top shape for the new season. We have the tools, knowledge, and experience dealing with the aftermath of New York winters, and we look forward to lending a hand.
Tire Service
Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that makes contact with the road, so it's crucial to ensure they are in good condition. Potholes can cause damage to tires, including cuts, punctures, and impact bubbles. It's a good idea to have your tires inspected by a professional in early spring to check for any damage that may not be immediately visible.
Proper tire inflation is also important for safety, fuel efficiency, and extending the life of your tires. The technicians at Eagle Chevrolet of Riverhead can check your tire pressure and inflate them to the manufacturer's recommended levels. We can also measure your tread depth to determine if your tires need to be replaced.
Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment refers to the angle of your tires and how they make contact with the road. When your wheels are properly aligned, your vehicle will drive straight and your tires will wear evenly. However, potholes, curbs, and other road hazards can knock your wheels out of alignment over time as you cruise around Hampton Bays.
Some signs that your wheels may be misaligned include your vehicle pulling to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, and a steering wheel that is off-center when driving straight. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to have your alignment checked by a professional as soon as possible to prevent further tire damage and other problems.
At Eagle Chevrolet of Riverhead, our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the latest alignment technology to accurately measure and adjust your wheel angles. Our certified technicians can perform a thorough alignment inspection and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your vehicle is driving straight and your tires are wearing evenly.
Why Service is Important During Pothole Season
Potholes are not only annoying to drive over, but they can also cause serious damage to your vehicle if left unaddressed. Hitting a pothole can cause tire damage, wheel misalignment, suspension damage, and other issues that may not be immediately apparent. That's why it's important to have your vehicle inspected and serviced regularly, especially after winter.
