Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an alignment important for a 2011 Nissan Xterra and what are the benefits?

• Maintains predictable handling: a properly aligned 2011 Nissan Xterra tracks straight, reduces steering effort and improves on-road stability for rear-wheel-drive, V6 SUVs.
• Extends tire life: correct toe, camber and caster reduce uneven wear so you replace tires less often—an immediate saving, and a long-term expense reduction when compared to repeated tire purchases.
• Maximizes fuel efficiency: misaligned wheels create drag that can reduce MPG; dealer alignments optimize geometry to help your fuel economy.
• Protects suspension components: alignment prevents premature wear to tie rods, ball joints and shocks; repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to retain coverage.
• Finance option: we offer service financing so you can get repairs now and pay later, avoiding deferred maintenance that increases long-term costs.
