Wheel Alignment and Tire Adjustments
Ensure your tires are in optimal condition with precise alignment services at Borche's Hi Tec Auto Repair. Properly aligned tires not only extend their lifespan but also enhance your vehicle's handling by preventing it from "pulling" to one side. Our certified tire specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously inspect your tires for signs of uneven wear, cracking, or slow leaks.
If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment typically takes about one hour for both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, if significant wear is found in suspension components such as bushings, tie rods, or steering and suspension parts, additional repairs may be required, which can extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can have a negative impact on tire life, vehicle handling, and fuel efficiency. Even minor alignment issues that are difficult to see with the naked eye can cause uneven tire wear over time. To avoid premature tire replacement and maintain safe driving conditions, it is recommended to have your alignment checked approximately every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a wheel alignment, technicians examine three primary alignment angles: camber, toe, and caster. Camber measures the inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front, toe measures how much the tires point inward or outward, and caster measures the steering axis angle. These measurements are adjusted to manufacturer specifications to improve handling, tire wear, and overall driving performance.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes. Having an alignment performed after replacing tires helps ensure the tires meet the road at the proper angles. Correct alignment promotes even tread wear, improves handling, increases fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and enhances overall driving safety and comfort.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
There are hardly any words to describe what the phenomenal team of people Borche’s Hi Tech Auto, especially Jason. I tasked them with a nearly impossible engine replacement when my son’s 1997 Chrysler LHS had a catastrophic failure. This car was immensely sentimental to our family because it was the last project my father, as a long-time employee of Chrysler worked on before his retirement. We lost my dad in 2018 but kept his car in excellent condition so when it failed, we could not imagine letting it go. As it turns out it was most definitely a labor of love with all of the “labor†falling on Jason and his team. He is an amazing person, so unbelievably knowledgeable, driven and motivated to complete this project. I will be forever grateful. The amount of time to not only tear the engine down, and put it back together, but all the time and effort to track down other needed parts that did not come with the new engine, as well as other parts that we! re needed because it was so old. I just cannot say enough about his persistence and dedication. I would have thought he was doing this for his own family. Thank you does not seem like enough but THANK YOU for being a miracle worker.
