Have you ever wondered about where you can get a wheel alignment in Platteville?  For most people in an around the Platteville area, the first place they think of is Runde Auto Group because they know that Scott Kramer will take excellent care of them and their vehicle.  I’d like to discuss some services that are commonly misunderstood and confusing to some people … the differences between a wheel alignment, a wheel balance, and a tire rotation.

Let’s take a few minutes to discuss wheel alignment for your vehicle … what it is, why it’s important, how it’s done, and where you can go to get a wheel alignment near Dubuque, IA.   Your wheel alignment is the position of your tires relative to the vehicle’s body.  This includes their position fore and aft as well as the angle in which the tires sit relative to the vehicle’s body on all fours. So how do you know if you do need that wheel alignment? The first test is to see if your steering wheel is pulling to the left or the right when driving in a straight line.  One of the best stretches of road to do this on is Highway 20 just south of the University of Dubuque; it's a flat stretch of road and they just repaved it so you're sure to know if your vehicle is out of alignm [...]

In this article we'll go over the specifics of tire rotations for your car.  We’ll touch on why it’s important, how often it should be done, and answer the question of where is the best place to get a tire rotation in Platteville. The reason why it’s important is to get maximum tread life on all four of your tires.  Rotating the tires helps to prevent one tire from getting more wear than any of the others and ultimately creates a more even tire wear over the life of a set of tires.  Rotating your tires on a regular interval helps even out the wear from side to side.  It ultimately extends the life of your tires and also allows you as the driver to get the maximum amount of performance out of them.  You typically want to rotate the tires every 5000 to 6000 miles or at every oil change which is also regular maintenance. 

Let’s take a moment to discuss tire rotations and why it’s an important regular service item for your car or truck ... especially in and around the Dubuque area. The main reason we rotate the tires on our vehicles regularly is so your tires wear more evenly. If you were to keep your tires in the same spot for the life of the tire, they would undoubtedly wear out a lot faster than if you rotated them regularly. Let’s face it, tires are expensive … there’s no other way to put it.  And with that being said, who wouldn’t want to get more miles out of their tires?  Another reason we should rotate our tires is that it allo [...]
