Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of your car's wheels so that they are in the correct position relative to the road.
This is important for a number of reasons, including:
Improved handling: When your wheels are properly aligned, your car will handle better and be more responsive to your steering input. This can help you avoid accidents and make driving more enjoyable.
Increased tyre life: Properly aligned wheels will wear your tyres more evenly, which can help them last longer.
Reduced vibration: When your wheels are not aligned properly, they can vibrate, which can be uncomfortable and even dangerous.
Improved fuel economy: A well-aligned car will be more fuel-efficient.
The frequency with which you need to get your car's wheel alignment checked will vary depending on a number of factors, including your driving habits, the type of car you have, and the condition of the roads you drive on. However, it is generally a good idea to get your car's wheel alignment checked every 12,000 to 15,000 miles.
Here are some signs that your car may need a wheel alignment:
Your car pulls to one side when you drive.
Your steering wheel is not centred when you are driving straight.
Your tyres are wearing unevenly.
Your car vibrates when you drive.
You hear a humming or thumping noise coming from your tyres.
If you notice any of these signs, it is a good idea to have your car's Wheel Alignment checked at Global.

Wheel Alignment Service Disclaimer
At Global Tyres & Servicing Centre – Walsall, we strive to deliver accurate and reliable wheel alignment services using industry-standard equipment and best practices. However, please be aware that our wheel alignment service does not guarantee the resolution of issues caused by underlying suspension faults or related mechanical problems.
If your vehicle is experiencing symptoms due to worn, damaged, or faulty suspension components, a wheel alignment alone will not rectify these issues. Our technicians can only identify and advise on potential suspension concerns following the completion of the alignment process.
Please note that the full service fee for wheel alignment applies regardless of whether a suspension issue is subsequently identified. The diagnosis of further faults may require additional inspection and repair, which are not included in the standard wheel alignment charge.
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please contact us prior to booking.

Wheel Alignment FAQs
Answers about tracking, four-wheel alignment, uneven tyre wear and pothole damage.
Where can I get wheel alignment in Walsall?
You can book wheel alignment at Global Tyres & Servicing Centre, Unit 1, Bridgeman Street, Walsall, WS2 9PG.
What is wheel alignment?
Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels so they sit correctly on the road. Correct alignment can improve straight-line driving, steering feel and tyre wear.
Is wheel alignment the same as tracking?
Tracking usually refers to a front toe adjustment. Wheel alignment is a broader check of wheel angles and can include the rear wheels where the vehicle allows it.
How do I know if my car needs wheel alignment?
Common signs include uneven tyre wear, the car pulling left or right, an off-centre steering wheel, poor handling or a change after hitting a pothole or kerb.
Can hitting a pothole or kerb affect alignment?
Yes. A pothole or kerb impact can affect alignment, tyre condition, wheel balance or suspension components. If the car pulls, vibrates or the steering wheel is no longer straight, have it checked.
Can poor alignment damage my tyres?
Yes. Incorrect alignment can wear the inside, outside or edges of tyres much faster than normal, which can lead to early tyre replacement.
Should I get alignment checked when I fit new tyres?
It is worth checking if your previous tyres wore unevenly, the car pulls, or the steering wheel is off-centre. Correcting alignment can help protect your new tyres from the same wear pattern.
Can wheel alignment fix steering wheel vibration?
Not always. Alignment can help with pulling and uneven tyre wear. Vibration at speed is more often linked to wheel balancing, tyre damage, a bent wheel or worn steering and suspension parts.
Can alignment fix a suspension or steering fault?
No. Alignment does not repair worn or damaged suspension or steering components. If we identify an underlying issue, we will explain it and advise on the next step.
What is the difference between front-wheel and four-wheel alignment?
Front-wheel alignment focuses on the front wheel angles. Four-wheel alignment measures all four wheels and can be useful when rear-wheel position affects steering, handling or tyre wear.
How often should I have wheel alignment checked?
Have it checked when you notice pulling, uneven tyre wear, an off-centre steering wheel or after a pothole or kerb impact. A check when fitting new tyres can also be sensible.
Do I need to book wheel alignment?
Booking is recommended so we can allow enough time for the alignment check and any discussion around issues found.
