Harris Boyz Auto Service provides professional wheel alignment and tire balancing services to keep your vehicle running smoothly, safely, and efficiently. We proudly serve Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, and surrounding communities.
What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment adjusts your vehicle’s suspension angles—camber, toe, and caster—so your wheels meet the road correctly. Proper alignment helps extend tire life, improve fuel economy, and ensure safe handling.
- Improved steering response
- Longer tire lifespan
- Better fuel efficiency
- Reduced suspension and tire wear
- Safer, more stable handling
Signs You Need a Wheel Alignment
- Vehicle pulls to one side
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Crooked steering wheel
- Squealing tires
- Poor handling or vibration
- Impact with potholes or curbs
What Is Tire Balancing?
Tire balancing ensures each wheel has even weight distribution. When wheels are unbalanced, drivers may feel vibration, and tires wear unevenly. Balancing helps restore a smooth and efficient ride.
- Smoother driving experience
- Even tire wear
- Reduced vibration in the steering wheel
- Extended tire life
- Improved fuel efficiency
Alignment vs. Balancing
Both services are vital for vehicle performance, but they address different issues:
- Wheel Alignment: Adjusts wheel angles to keep the vehicle tracking straight.
- Tire Balancing: Corrects weight imbalances in the wheel and tire assembly.
Most vehicles require both services periodically for optimal performance and safety.
How Often Should You Perform Alignment & Balancing?
We recommend wheel alignments every 12,000 miles or annually, and balancing whenever new tires are installed or if vibration occurs. These services may also be needed after hitting potholes or when suspension parts are replaced.
