Computerised four wheelalignment service
Make sure that you are getting the best economy and performance from your car's tyres with our four-wheel computerised alignment service. A computerised wheel alignment will make sure that your car's tracking is aligned with the factory settings, meaning that it will be returned to its original factory configuration.
A computerised wheel alignment, also called 4 wheel tracking, can give a more accurate 4 wheel alignment than a laser-based machine, so the car's tracking can be adjusted to an exact setting.
When you bring your car to ATS Euromaster for a computerised wheel alignment, we will show you your car's current alignment and tell you how far out your tracking is from factory specifications. You can even watch the adjustments as they are made.
Advantages of a computerised four wheel alignment
Correct wheel alignment is great for your cars performance but more accurate, computerised alignments are more accurate and have even greater advantages:
- Wheel tracking can be adjusted to a higher degree of accuracy than laser alignment
- Adjusts alignment to manufacturers spec to ensure the best economy and performance from your tyres
- Records readings each time your wheels are aligned at ATS Euromaster
Why adjust all four wheels at once?
Adjusting your front wheels is important to the overall ride and performance of your car, as heavily misaligned wheels will have a noticeable effect on your vehicle's handling characteristics.
While rear wheel misalignment may not have as noticeable an effect on your car, it may still have an impact on your vehicle's fuel consumption and tyre wear. Front and rear wheel alignment ensures all four wheels on your car are tracking correctly. With our computerised four wheel alignment technology bringing your alignment back to that factory-fresh angle of adjustment, you can get the best possible performance and fuel economy.
Though the two services often get confused, wheel alignments are not the same as a wheel balancing.

This will be compared to the correct alignment settings provided by the manufacturer. Your wheels will then be aligned to match these settings.
