April Showers Bring May Flowers...& Potholes

With the winter season in the rear-view mirror, we now find ourselves affected by chilly and wet spring-time conditions. These conditions are a major reason for the many potholes we encounter on surrounding roadways. Potholes create stress on a vehicle's steering and suspension systems. If a vehicle is knocked out of alignment, it creates uneven tire wear and is often diagnosed with a noticeable pull of the vehicle in one direction.

If your vehicle has these symptoms, bring it in to have one of our certified technicians diagnose and correct your alignment issues. First, a technician will visually inspect the steering linkage and suspension components. Next, we will perform a computerized alignment angle check. If an adjustment is needed, a technician physically brings those angles back to within specifications set by the vehicle manufacturer.

Baum Chevrolet Buick will soon unveil its newest venture, the Alignment Quick Check service available at our Quick Lube facility across from the dealership. If your vehicle is experiencing any of these symptoms, you can stop by our facility without an appointment and will receive a complimentary "quick check" of your vehicle's alignment. A vehicle, when properly aligned, rides smoothly and reduces the risk of uneven tire wear.
