Don’t Let Misalignment Ruin Your Tires—Or Your Peace of Mind
Ever notice your car drifting to one side, the steering wheel sitting off-center, or those pesky “feathered” tire edges? One pothole or curb tap can knock your wheels out of spec and quietly chew through tread, fuel, and suspension parts. It doesn’t have to be that way.
At Carty’s Auto Collision & Repair, we use the Hunter HawkEye Elite®—a best-in-class alignment system—so your car tracks straight, tires wear evenly, and you leave with proof on paper.
Why We Trust the Hunter HawkEye Elite®
Lightning-fast accuracy
Captures full alignment readings in about 70 seconds.
Features like QuickComp™ compensate all wheels in one motion, and integrated lift communications streamline every step—so you spend less time waiting.
Pinpoint precision
Four high-resolution cameras (one per wheel) measure camber, caster, and toe with exceptional repeatability.
WinAlign® software provides OE (factory) specs, 3D graphics, and guided steps so our techs can dial in your alignment to the numbers—no guesswork.
Wheel-safe setup
QuickGrip® adaptors grip the tire—not the rim—so there’s no metal-to-metal contact and far less risk of wheel damage.
Modern-vehicle ready
With CodeLink® and steering system reset integrations, we can complete required electronic resets many late-model vehicles and ADAS systems need after alignment.
Clear results you can see
You’ll get a before/after printout with your readings and factory targets, so you know exactly what was corrected and why it matters.
What Throws Alignment Off (And Why It Matters)
Hitting potholes, curbs, or speed bumps too hard
Worn suspension parts (ball joints, control arm bushings, tie-rods)
Lifted/lowered suspensions or wheel/tire changes
Carrying uneven loads or frequent towing
Consequences: uneven or rapid tire wear, a pull to one side, reduced braking stability, a crooked steering wheel, extra strain on suspension—and money wasted at the pump.
Your Visit, Step by Step
Road feel & visual check of tires/suspension
HawkEye Elite® measurements (70-second capture)
Consultation using your printout (current vs. factory spec)

Final verification + take-home report
If we spot worn parts that could prevent a correct alignment, we’ll show you and discuss options first—no surprises.
Signs You Need an Alignment
Vehicle pulls left or right
Steering wheel isn’t centered on a straight road
Squeal or scrub in low-speed turns
Feathered/uneven tire edges or cupping
You recently hit a pothole/curb or replaced suspension/tires
The Payoff
Longer tire life (protect a major investment)
Straighter tracking and a calmer steering wheel
Better fuel economy and braking stability
Fewer surprises at state inspection or when rotating tires

Front End Alignment FAQs
Do I need a front or four-wheel alignment?
Most modern vehicles benefit from a four-wheel alignment. We’ll check your suspension design and printout before recommending.
How often should I check alignment?
At least once a year or every 12,000–15,000 miles—and any time you replace tires, suspension parts, or hit something hard.
Will you show me the results?
Yes. You’ll receive a before/after report with your measurements and factory specs so you can see exactly what changed.
