Is Your Car’s Alignment Off?
You’re cruising down the highway, but something feels off—your car pulls to one side, the steering wheel is crooked, or your tires are wearing unevenly. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re signs your wheels are out of alignment. Misalignment can lead to premature tire wear, poor handling, and reduced fuel efficiency. Located on Kirby Drive in the Medical Center, Eric’s Car Care’s expert technicians use precision equipment to provide the best wheel alignment experience for your vehicle.
Our Expertise
Poor alignment affects more than just your tires. It puts stress on your suspension, impacts safety, and costs you in the long run. That’s why we take a detailed, diagnostic-first approach to every wheel alignment service.
Front-End (Two-Wheel) Alignment:
Front-end alignment corrects the angles of the front wheels for proper steering and tire wear. It improves handling, safety, and extends tire life.
Four-Wheel Alignment:
Four-wheel alignment ensures all wheels are properly aligned for optimal performance. This prevents uneven tire wear and enhances vehicle stability.
Thrust Angle Adjustment:
Thrust angle adjustment corrects the alignment of rear wheels relative to the vehicle’s centerline. Proper adjustment ensures straight tracking and smooth handling.
Steering Wheel Realignment:
Realigning the steering wheel restores proper center position. This improves control, comfort, and prevents uneven tire wear.
Suspension Inspection:
Inspecting the suspension identifies worn or damaged components affecting alignment. Timely repairs maintain handling and driving safety.
Camber, Caster & Toe Adjustment:
Adjusting camber, caster, and toe angles ensures wheels meet manufacturer specifications. Correct angles improve tire life, handling, and safety.
Digital Wheel Alignment Reporting:
Digital alignment reports provide precise measurements and documentation of adjustments. This ensures accuracy and gives drivers confidence in their vehicle’s alignment.
Common Wheel Alignment Problems We Fix
Proper wheel alignment ensures safe handling, even tire wear, and better fuel efficiency. At Eric’s Car Care in Houston, we address these common alignment issues to keep your vehicle performing optimally:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Misaligned wheels cause premature tire damage and reduced lifespan. We adjust alignment to prevent uneven wear and improve safety.
- Vehicle Pulling to One Side: If your car drifts left or right while driving straight, alignment may be off. We correct wheel angles to restore straight-line stability.
- Steering Wheel Off-Center: A crooked steering wheel signals alignment or suspension issues. We realign wheels so your steering wheel stays centered during normal driving.
- Vibrations While Driving: Misaligned tires can create steering wheel or vehicle vibrations. We perform precise adjustments to eliminate vibrations and improve ride comfort.
- Poor Handling in Turns: Wheels out of alignment reduce cornering control and responsiveness. We adjust caster, camber, and toe angles to restore smooth handling.
- Excessive Tire Noise
Uneven wheel alignment causes road noise and discomfort. We align your wheels to reduce noise and enhance driving comfort. - Front-End or Four-Wheel Misalignment
Suspension damage or impacts can knock wheels out of specification. We inspect and adjust the front-end or all four wheels for optimal performance.
Additional Services to Consider After Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment improves handling, extends tire life, and ensures safe driving. After an alignment, it’s a good idea to check related systems that impact performance and safety:
- Tire Inspection & Rotation: Ensures even wear and maximizes road grip.
- Suspension & Steering Check: Confirms shocks, struts, and tie rods are in proper condition for precise handling.
- Brake Inspection: Verifies braking performance and safety by checking for uneven alignment or worn components.

How Much Does a Wheel Alignment Cost?
The cost of a wheel alignment depends on the type of alignment your vehicle requires—front-end, four-wheel, or thrust-angle. Standard alignments are generally affordable, but wheel alignment costs can rise if your car has advanced suspension systems or requires special adjustments. Regular alignments help protect your tires from premature wear and improve fuel efficiency, making them a smart long-term investment.
Why an Auto Repair Shop is Better Than Mobile Repair
Mobile services might sound convenient, but a precise wheel alignment service requires specialized tools and conditions that only a professional shop can provide.
- Advanced Equipment: Uses computerized alignment machines, laser measurement systems, and diagnostic tools that mobile mechanics simply can’t transport.
- Complete Service: Provides more than alignments, including suspension inspections, camber/caster adjustments, and steering corrections—all under one roof.
- Quality Parts & Accuracy: Delivers lasting results and even tire wear with OEM-grade suspension components and precision calibration.
- Controlled Environment: Ensures proper alignment with lifts, stable conditions, and advanced technology—not a driveway or parking lot.

I went in the shop preparing for a long wait, but was pleasantly surprised to be seen right away. By now the second stresser had kicked in, what was it going to cost? That worry was also not a worry at all when I was told the price. Good there to. The staff was also pleasant and courteous. I will definitely be back , but in the future from the beginning there will be no worries. Great job!

Eric’s has been proven to be trustworthy. The staff and service were both good. During a diagnostic on my vehicle I was informed that work done at another shop wasn’t correctly done and I should take my car back to the previous mechanic. I did and the work was re-done. Thank you Eric!

I stopped by 30 minutes before they closed hoping to get my headlight fixed but prepared to be asked to come back the next day. Not only did they fix my headlight but they also put air in my tires and fixed my license plate light in less than 15 minutes. Incredibly kind and efficient service.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common signs include your vehicle pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, a crooked steering wheel, or vibrations while driving. If you notice any of these, it’s time to get your alignment checked.
It’s generally recommended every 6,000 to 10,000 miles, or once a year. However, if you hit a pothole, curb, or notice handling issues, it’s best to check alignment sooner.
Two-wheel (front-end) alignment adjusts only the front wheels—ideal for vehicles with non-adjustable rear suspensions. Four-wheel alignment adjusts all four wheels, ensuring optimal balance and handling for most modern vehicles.
A standard wheel alignment typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your vehicle’s condition and whether additional adjustments or suspension repairs are needed. At Eric’s Car Care, we aim for both speed and precision—without cutting corners.
