Wheel Alignment in Brookfield, WI

Why Proper Alignment Is Crucial for Your Vehicle — Silver Lake Auto & Tire

With vehicle ownership comes expectations, not least of them a vehicle that you can rely on to drive well and keep you safe for a long time to come. If you want a car you can depend on, it needs to depend on you for care, which is why it’s important to visit for regular maintenance like wheel alignment. Not sure why it matters? Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers will set you straight!

How Your Car’s Alignment Works

What is wheel alignment, anyway? A vehicle has an entire system connected to its wheels. That system includes axles, tires, brakes, and suspension. The more complex the system, the more one small thing being out of whack can cause a cascade of problems. Proper alignment consists of keeping the toe, camber, and caster in line so that your car handles the way it should. Each is a description of your wheels relative to the road, and to your steering system: Camber, which is the angle of your tires when viewed from the front; Toe, or the angle of your tire when viewed from above; and Caster, which is the angle relative to your steering system. If any of those three angles are off by even a couple of degrees, you’ll notice performance problems that are directly proportionate to how far your vehicle is out of alignment.

When Do I Need Wheel Alignment?

So, what should you be looking for? If you notice the vehicle pulls to one side or another, especially to a point where you have to keep the wheel off-center in order to drive straight, it could be an alignment problem. Even subtle signs, like squealing or uneven tire wear, can point to poor alignment. Your vehicle’s alignment can also be thrown off if you come into contact with a harsh impact on the road, such as driving over a deep pothole or hitting a curb. If your car starts to drive abnormally after, schedule an appointment for an inspection. However, it’s important to note that each of these symptoms can have multiple causes. For instance, a recent tire rotation or suspension adjustment, uneven tire pressure, or a load that’s out of balance can all contribute to similar problems. That’s why it’s important to have your vehicle evaluated by experts.

The customer service was excellent! I greatly enjoyed working with Chris throughout the day. They were able to diagnose that my passenger front wheel bearing was bad. They replaced the wheel bearing that day. However, you pay a premium for the great customer service. It was $700 for one wheel bearing when I probably could have gotten this work done elsewhere for less than $500. Also, their service receipts are very vague. They don’t break down the service costs by parts and labor which I fi... Read More

Lucas Krogmann

We are new to the area and they were very thorough with our car. They did not try to sell us on things that weren’t necessary. It’s an older vehicle and they understood that we are running it until it needs a major repair. I appreciated their honesty and that they listened to us and didn’t push repairs that aren’t necessary.

Charla DeClark

Silver Lake Auto did an excellent job with our car! They were very thorough, professional & provided great overall service. We are so glad we brought our car to them! They even washed & vacuumed it! We will bringing our cars back for sure.

Beth Garbe

I was extremely impressed with how thorough they were. They gave my car a detailed “going over” and explained each step in detail to me. Will definitely come back again and also recommend to friends and family.

Jeff Mair

Yes super nice very professional. They got me to my appointment during the time when my car was being worked on and even picked me up when I was done. They were patient with my crazy dog and everybody was very friendly. Thank you.

Lisa Kosmond

I discovered Silver Lake Auto in New Berlin because they do emission testing and they were so nice and professional so, thought I’d come back and use them to get my new tires. I just love how honest they are. I work mostly with Kresha and she is very honest, explains everything to you, and tells you what she would do if it was her vehicle. I really appreciate the honesty from her since I don’t know much about cars and rely on the professionals. Silver Lake did a great job and I will defin... Read More

Nicole T

I cant say enough about how much I appreciate what Silver Lake Auto did for me! They were extremely busy with other customers, and they still went above and beyond to fix my tire issue, getting me back on the road that same day. You guys are Awesome! Thankyou so much! Thank-you very much to you guys for helping get new tires and getting me in right away. Appreciate it so much. Thanks Chris for all your info and professionalism

Jarod Kohrt

Coolant sensor replacement, got done before I had emissions and they did the emissions. Did a thorough check of the car and ended up being $90 less than they quoted. They have changed my tires in the past and would recommend them. A little pricey, but I only got one other quote from another company.
