Stay In Control of Your Car
You expect full control of where your vehicle is going, and anything less than that is a cause for concern. At Silver Lake Auto & Tire, we work to ensure you’re always in control. One of the ways we accomplish that is through our wheel realignment service. Our ASE Certified technicians utilize state-of-the-art alignment equipment to quickly and accurately realign your car’s suspension. By the time you leave, you’ll do so with full control of your vehicle once more.
Do You Need Realignment?
Wheel misalignment is an issue that can easily happen and can be hard to identify. Drivers can go for weeks and even months without knowing their car is misaligned, leading to some vexing issues. Along with providing you with reliable service, we also want to ensure you avoid major problems. If you suspect misalignment in your vehicle, here’s how you can find out:
Uneven Tire Wear
If you suspect misalignment, but you aren’t quite sure, the best place to check is your tires. Before your next drive, inspect the middle, inner, and outer tread of each tire. If the tire wear looks uneven with each pair, that’s a clear sign that your car is suffering from misalignment. We urge that you not only get the car realigned but also chat about potential tire options, as continuing to drive could throw off when you get your tires replaced. So instead of having them all replaced at once, you might need to replace them one at a time, which is frustrating.
Pulling
Another clear sign of misalignment is if you feel like your car is pulling you in a specific direction while driving. Although low tire PSI could also be a cause, it’s more than likely that your car is suffering from misalignment. This is incredibly dangerous to drive with, especially if the problem is severe, so we ask you to get this problem fixed as soon as possible.

Without proper alignment, driving your vehicle becomes significantly more difficult. Ensure you always have control of your car and schedule a wheel realignment service with Silver Lake Auto & Tire in New Berlin, Wisconsin.

Frequently Asked Questions
A wheel alignment adjusts wheel angles so they’re correctly positioned to the vehicle and the road. We set camber, caster, toe, and thrust angle so the car tracks straight, the steering centers properly, and tires wear evenly.
Pulling to one side, an off-center wheel, unstable steering, or uneven/rapid tire wear. After alignment on modern vehicles, we also calibrate the steering angle sensor (SAS) so stability and traction systems read straight-ahead correctly.
Misalignment scrubs tread and shortens tire life. Setting toe and camber correctly—and verifying thrust angle so the rear axle points straight—maximizes tire lifespan and protects your investment.
Yes. Normal wear of bushings/ball joints/struts and small geometry shifts over time can move angles out of spec. When suspension work is performed, we align the vehicle and reset SAS; on many late-model cars, certain repairs also require ADAS camera/radar calibration afterward.
Check alignment with new tires, after any suspension/steering repairs, or when steering feel or wear patterns change. For late-model vehicles with driver-assist features, we evaluate whether ADAS calibration is required after alignment to keep those systems aiming and operating as designed.
