Alignment

What is “alignment”?

At SAMIOS SOKRATIS Auto Repair Shop in Kalamata , talking about car alignment we mean the control and adjustment in the vehicle’s steering system. This procedure ensures that there will be no deviation in the course of the car.

Why is alignment necessary?

Vehicle alignment must be done to ensure that all four tyres  are in the correct position regarding the road, i.e. they are in straight contact. Once the vehicle is aligned, it means that driving is carried out safely, without sudden braking, with better performance than before. In addition, the vehicle’s tyres  are kept in excellent condition, without wearing out. Finally, the alignment also helps to save fuel.

How are wheels out of alignment?

There are two main reasons why a vehicle can lose its correct alignment.
• Falling into a steep pothole while driving
• Nervous and abrupt parking, hitting the tyres

How often should a car be aligned?

The frequency of the alignment check is different for each car and depends largely on the use of the vehicle. So there is no such thing as a programmed adjustment. As a precautionary measure, every driver should have their vehicle checked at an auto repair shop once a year approximately every 10,000 km, in the event of a violent collision with an obstacle or if you are going on a long road trip.

How is alignment checked/adjusted?

In order to check whether alignment is necessary, the car needs to pass through an alignment tester. It is then observed if the vehicle deviates from the straight line to check whether it needs to be aligned.

The vehicle is placed on a ramp and passed through laser beams. In this way, the extent of convergence and deviation of the vehicle is verified. If the indications are negative, then the experts take all necessary steps to adjust the alignment.

The alignment check and adjustment usually takes no more than one hour. This time depends on the needs and size of the car.
