• Alignment report to review actual angles before and after.

If tires wear evenly and the car tracks straight, you can wait until the 2–3-year/30,000-mile interval.

Front camber and toe primarily govern straight-line tracking and steering feel; caster contributes to self-centering; rear camber and toe influence highway stability and tread wear. Our Volkswagen-approved equipment captures precise readings so adjustments are accurate and repeatable, and we provide a before/after printout for transparency.
