Wheel Alignment in Oxford
Wheel Alignment by First Stop Spanner Works
If you’re searching for a wheel alignment in Oxford, 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 First Stop Spanner Works. 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.

"Very helpful"
"Came to them in panic at after finding car had flat. They gave me an electronic portable tyre pump to inflate enough to bring the car to them. They inspected the tyre and said it was reaching end of its life - then fitted a reasonably priced new tyre within 30mins. Outstanding service - my first stop from now on."
"Absolutely outstanding service! I was in a bit of a panic about my tyre and stopped by hoping someone could take a quick look. Even though one of the mechanics was on his lunch break, he kindly stepped in to help because he could see I was stuck. He checked everything thoroughly, sorted the issue quickly, and made sure I was safe to drive away all with a friendly, professional attitude. It’s rare to find that level of genuine care and customer service these days. I’m so grateful for the help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this garage to anyone. Thank you again for going above and beyond! Much love Alex"
