MINI Alignment Service
Benefits of an Alignment Service
When your car's tires are properly aligned, both your vehicle and your wallet will thank you! Tire alignment is critical for many reasons, and not just saving money. One of the top reasons to have correctly aligned tires is for your safety. Tires that are out of alignment tend to wear out quickly. Their tread wears unevenly, which eventually causes them to lose their grip on the road, which makes driving on wet roads, stopping suddenly, and cornering especially hazardous. Another reason to keep the tires adequately aligned is cost. If you let the alignment go, you may end up at the very least replacing the tires, which costs much more than an alignment! Furthermore, allowing the alignment go stresses the steering and suspension systems, which can rack up your repair bill even more. Therefore, it's best to fix alignment problems right away.
A good rule of thumb is to have your vehicle's alignment checked every 5,000 – 6,000 miles. This number varies, however, based on your car, your driving habits, the type of tires you have, and the season. You can also bring your car in if you see signs that it might need an alignment, such as the car turning to one side when you drive, if the steering wheel doesn't fully straighten when you park, and if you feel a vibration in the steering wheel. Experts recommend bringing your vehicle in for an alignment check after the winter season and after changing seasonal tires or getting new tires. Many tires have recommended mileage checks based on the type of tire too, which is helpful in determining when to get the tires checked. When you bring your vehicle in for an alignment, our mechanics can also tell you if you should get the tires checked more frequently based on your driving habits.

Genuine MINI Parts in Brentwood, TN
What sets your service experience here apart from others is that we attend to our customers' needs every step of the way. Along with providing professional service, you'll also leave with parts and components you can trust. That's because we only use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for vehicles that come in for service. The other choice for car parts is aftermarket parts, which might sound appealing at first, but often end up being a poor choice. OEM parts are held to a high standard of quality and performance. They are certified by a manufacturer's warranty, whereas aftermarket parts are not. Aftermarket parts are unpredictable in quality, which means that there's no guarantee you're leaving the shop with a part that will last. In fact, all too often customers go with a defective part, which leaves them unhappy and paying more than they would have with an OEM part.
