Proper wheel alignment keeps your Kia driving straight, steering true, and wearing its tires evenly. Potholes, curbs, and everyday miles slowly knock your alignment out, which wastes tires and fuel. At ALM Kia South in Union City, our technicians measure and reset your alignment to Kia’s factory specifications with precise equipment.
Signs your Kia needs an alignment
Bring your Kia in for an alignment check if you notice any of these:
- The vehicle pulls to one side on a straight, level road
- Uneven or rapid tire wear, often on one edge
- The steering wheel sits crooked when you drive straight
- Steering feels loose or wanders
- You recently hit a pothole or curb
- You are installing a new set of tires
Precise, to-spec alignment
We measure camber, caster, and toe and reset them to your Kia’s factory specifications so it tracks straight.
Protects your tires
Correct alignment prevents uneven wear, so the tires you paid for last as long as they should.
Better handling and MPG
Straight-tracking wheels reduce drag and give you steadier steering and smoother highway driving.
Pairs with new tires
An alignment with a new set of tires protects your investment from day one. Ask us to check it at your next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my Kia need a wheel alignment?
A good rule is to have your alignment checked about once a year or every 12,000 miles, and any time you install new tires or hit a hard pothole or curb. If your Kia pulls to one side or wears tires unevenly, have it checked sooner.
What are the signs my Kia is out of alignment?
Common signs include the vehicle pulling to one side on a straight road, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, and loose or wandering steering. Any of these is worth an alignment check.
How long does a wheel alignment take?
Most alignments take about an hour, though timing varies with the day’s schedule and whether any worn parts need attention first. Scheduling an appointment helps us get you in and out faster.
How much does a Kia wheel alignment cost?
Cost depends on your Kia model and whether it needs a two-wheel or four-wheel alignment. Check our service specials for current offers, or call 478-888-2204 for a quote for your exact vehicle.
Does an alignment make my tires last longer?
Yes. Correct alignment stops the uneven, one-sided wear that ruins tires early, so a proper alignment helps the tires you paid for reach their full tread life and keeps your Kia handling the way it should.
Do you align all makes or only Kia?
Our factory-trained team aligns your Kia to its exact specifications and can also align most other makes. Call 478-888-2204 or schedule online to book your alignment.
