Los Angeles streets are hard on suspension. After a winter of rain, potholes open up on surface streets all over the city, and one solid hit can be enough to change how your car drives.
Signs the impact did damage
Watch for a steering wheel that no longer sits straight, a car that drifts to one side on a flat road, a new vibration, or a tire that looks worn on one edge. Any of these after a pothole strike is worth having checked.
Why it matters
Misalignment scrubs rubber off your tires with every mile. A set that should last years can be ruined in months. It also makes the car less stable in an emergency stop or lane change.
What we check
We inspect the wheel and tire for damage, look over tie rods, ball joints and control arms, and measure the alignment angles against factory specification. If everything is in range we will tell you so.
If your car feels different after a hard hit, book an alignment check before it costs you a set of tires.
