Booking online is quick, and we provide a before/after printout so you can see the results.

What are the signs my 2018 Hyundai Sonata-Hybrid needs an alignment?
Four clear signs are uneven tire wear, pulling, an off-center steering wheel, and vibration at highway speed.

Three common issuesworn tie rods, ball joints, or strutscan prevent an alignment from holding.
Before adjusting angles, our Peoria technicians check steering and suspension for looseness or damage. If parts are bent or have excessive play, well show you what we found and outline repair options. Once components are sound, a precise alignment will set your Hyundai back to spec.

- Bent arms from curb or pothole

Is an alignment worth it for my 2018 Hyundai Sonata-Hybrid if it tracks straight?
If it tracks straight with even wear, wait until your next 2–3 year/30,000-mile interval or a symptom appears.
Routine alignments at every tire rotation arent necessary for most Peoria drivers. Still, construction zones, speed bumps, and surprise potholes can knock angles out. Monitor tire wear and steering feel, and book sooner after suspension work or any hard impact.

- Recheck after suspension repairs
- Book promptly after impacts
