Wheel Alignment in Peterborough

Wheel Alignment by Brake Station

If you’re searching for a wheel alignment in Peterborough, you may already know that correctly aligned wheels are absolutely essential for safe and comfortable driving. But did you know that wheel alignment can also save you money in a couple of ways? Firstly, poorly aligned tyres wear out faster and need to be replaced more often. Secondly, they can also decrease fuel mileage by up to 10%, meaning you have to fill up more often.

The solution is to have your wheels properly aligned—and then keep them that way with an annual wheel alignment by Brake Station. Our highly skilled technicians use state-of-the-art technology to ensure your steering is centred and that all four wheels are parallel, sitting flat on the road.

Frequently asked questions

No, it's not the same.

Alignment involves setting the wheels on each axle in parallel, and the axles parallel to each other, adjusting wheel angles so that the car steering does not drift to one side, as well as ensuring driver comfort and good grip for the tyres, thus guaranteeing safety at the wheel.

Balancing is a mechanical process of adjusting the wheels to prevent vehicle vibration at any speed, no matter what type of driving is used.

The modern car is built for comfort, performance and handling. In order to achieve and maintain the best ride possible, the steering and suspension needs to be measured and adjusted within the motor manufacturer’s specifications. This can only be done by measuring all four wheels and having a proper full four wheel alignment measurement.

Wheel alignment can be affected by hitting the kurb or a large pothole in the road or travelling regularly on gravel roads. If alignment is out, it can cause excessive wear to your tyres and problems with steering or suspension.

HANNA MAGDZIAREK - April 10, 2025

"Beware of a hidden cost of re-testing when you book an MOT with Brake Station. At £40, it’s obviously good value for money - that is until you find out they will charge you another £20 for re-testing if you have your car fixed somewhere else. This is the first time I’ve come across having to pay extra for re-testing that’s part of the MOT service that’s advertised at £40."

"I took my car in today after hearing a loud squeaking noise whilst driving. I was concerned because I needed to drive back to Manchester at the weekend. I left my car with them (planned to leave it overnight) and they contacted me a couple of hours later. It turned out to be a stone caught in between the brake shield and rotor and they had removed it. They said there was no charge. When I collected my car, I tried to give them some money (as a tip) but they wouldn’t take it. If I lived nearer I would definitely take my car there in future. I’ll be recommending them to everyone I know in Peterborough. Top service and a big thank you for your help. Highly recommend this garage."
