A correctly aligned vehicle drives straighter, handles better, and wears its tyres evenly — saving you money on premature replacements. Carter's Tyres Pukekohe offers precision laser wheel alignment just 12km from Kingseat, making it a quick and worthwhile trip for any Kingseat driver.
The roads around Kingseat — including Kingseat Road and the rural roads connecting Karaka to Patumahoe — can knock your wheels out of alignment over time. Potholes, speed bumps, kerb strikes, and quiet but poorly lit rural roads, farm vehicle traffic, and seasonal flooding on low-lying sections all contribute to misalignment. Signs you need an alignment include uneven tyre wear, the car pulling to one side, or the steering wheel sitting off-centre when driving straight.
Our alignment equipment measures all three critical angles — camber, caster, and toe — using precision laser technology. We compare your readings to your vehicle manufacturer's exact specifications and adjust accordingly. The process takes 30-45 minutes, and you're welcome to wait at our shop or explore Pukekohe town centre.
For rural families, commuters using back roads to avoid the motorway, and lifestyle block owners, regular alignment checks are essential. We recommend an alignment every 10,000km, whenever you fit new tyres, or after hitting a significant pothole or kerb. At $89 per alignment versus hundreds of dollars in premature tyre wear, it's a smart investment.
Drive in from Kingseat during business hours — no appointment needed. We also offer a complimentary alignment check with every set of four new tyres fitted, so ask about this when you're next purchasing tyres.
