Why Regular Wheel Alignments Matter for Your Car

If your car pulls to one side, your steering wheel feels off-center, or your tires wear unevenly, you might need a wheel alignment. At Burch Auto Repair here in Valley Junction, West Des Moines, we see alignment issues every week — and fixing them early can save you time, money, and frustration.
🚗 Better handling and safety
A proper wheel alignment keeps your car tracking straight down the road. That means better steering response, safer driving in wet or icy conditions, and less driver fatigue on long trips.
🛞 Longer tire life
Misaligned wheels cause tires to wear unevenly — sometimes destroying a set of tires long before their normal lifespan. A quick alignment can add thousands of extra miles to your tires, protecting your investment.
💲 Save money over time
While an alignment is an affordable service, skipping it often leads to bigger repairs: premature tire replacement, suspension wear, and even steering component damage. Regular alignments help prevent these costs.
📍 Local expertise you can trust
At Burch Auto Repair in West Des Moines, we use precision alignment equipment to get your wheels set exactly to spec. Whether you’ve hit a pothole, notice unusual tire wear, or just want peace of mind, we’re here to help.
✅ Final thoughts: If it’s been a while since your last alignment — or you’re seeing signs like drifting, vibration, or uneven tires — don’t wait. A quick check can save you money and keep your car safer.
