Your car pulls to one side
You keep correcting the steering on a level road. Alignment may be a cause; tyre pressure, tyres and suspension are also checked.

Does your car pull to one side, have a crooked steering wheel or wear its tyres unevenly? Have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted at AutoMaxGarage in Veen.
Send your make, model, year and symptoms. We will discuss options, price and availability.
Sound familiar?Your car should
Your car should
drive straight.
Unusual handling or uneven tyre wear? Have the cause checked. Not every problem can be solved by alignment alone.
The steering wheel is crooked
You are driving straight but the steering wheel is not centred. Have the wheel alignment and steering checked.
Your tyres wear unevenly
The inner or outer edge wears faster than the centre. A check helps identify the cause before new tyres develop the same pattern.
Kerb impact or suspension work
After a heavy impact, damage or work on steering and suspension components, an alignment check may be needed.
Sudden strong pulling, visible tyre damage or unsafe steering? Do not continue driving if it is unsafe. Discuss inspection and transport of your car first.
Alignment at AutoMaxGarageCheck first.
Check first.
Then adjust.
A good alignment starts with the condition of tyres, steering and suspension. We consider relevant concerns as well as the measured wheel angles.
01 / OUR APPROACH
Measure wheel alignment
We compare the measured wheel angles with the specifications for your vehicle.
Discuss your car
02 / OUR APPROACH
Check tyres and suspension
Tyre pressure, wear and any play matter for an effective adjustment.
Discuss your car
03 / OUR APPROACH
Adjust where possible
We correct the adjustable points and explain any issues that alignment alone cannot resolve.
Discuss your carPlay or a damaged component?
Repairs may be needed before the final alignment. Extra work is not carried out without discussing it with you.
Wheel geometry explainedWhat do
What do
we measure?
The correct values depend on make, model and specification. Not every wheel angle is adjustable on every car.
TOEThe direction of the wheels
Viewed from above: do the front edges point slightly inwards or outwards? The correct value is vehicle-specific.
CAMBERThe tilt of the wheel
Viewed from the front: does the wheel lean inwards or outwards? This affects tyre contact and wear.
CASTERThe steering axis angle
Viewed from the side: the tilt of the steering axis. It plays a role in straight-line stability and steering behaviour.

The right check depends on your symptoms. These two services have different purposes.
Not sure? Send us a messageALIGNMENT
The position of the wheels
Relevant to a crooked steering wheel, pulling to one side or uneven tyre wear. Wheel geometry is measured and adjusted where possible.
BALANCING
The balance of the wheel
Relevant to imbalance in a rotating wheel, for example vibration at a certain speed. Alignment does not replace this check.

Frequently asked questionsAbout
About
wheel alignment.
What is wheel alignment?+
Wheel alignment measures the wheel angles and, where possible, adjusts them to the manufacturer's specifications. It concerns the geometry of suspension and steering, rather than moving a tyre on its rim.
What is the difference between alignment and balancing?+
Alignment concerns the position of the wheels. Balancing corrects weight imbalance in a rotating wheel. Vibration at a certain speed may involve imbalance, but can have other causes too. We assess which checks suit your symptoms first.
Do all four wheels need alignment?+
The wheel angles are assessed together. The adjustable points on the front and rear axles depend on the vehicle. Not every car offers the same adjustment options.
Can alignment solve every steering problem?+
No. Incorrect tyre pressure, damaged tyres, play, bent components or brake problems can also affect handling. These causes may need attention first; alignment does not repair faulty parts.
Do I always need alignment after fitting new tyres?+
Not automatically. It is worth checking when there is uneven wear, a crooked steering wheel, unusual handling or after certain suspension repairs. New tyres do not correct the wrong wheel angles.
How long does alignment take and what does it cost?+
This depends on your car, its adjustment options and any additional work. Send your make, model, year and symptoms on WhatsApp. We discuss price and scheduling for your situation; seized components or repairs may mean extra work.
Can you align a lowered car, van or EV?+
Send your vehicle details and mention any suspension modifications. We confirm in advance whether your specification suits the available equipment and what is required.
How do I arrange an appointment?+
Send a WhatsApp message or complete the short enquiry below. We discuss your symptoms and agree a time together. Sending an enquiry does not confirm an appointment.
