Wheel Alignment in Bolton

Wheel Alignment by Indy Motors

If you’re searching for a wheel alignment in Bolton, 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 Indy Motors. 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.

"I don’t normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with the service I received that I felt I had to share my experience. After contacting several local garages and being told I’d be waiting weeks for an appointment, I was recommended Indy Motors. I called on the Saturday and they were able to fit me in the following Monday to check over my car. They quickly identified the fault and kept me fully informed throughout. I was provided with clear photos and a detailed explanation of the issue, along with recommendations and information about suppliers for the parts needed. It was really reassuring to see everything explained so clearly and honestly. The required part was fitted the following Saturday, and the whole process was smooth, efficient, and professional from start to finish. The team were friendly, approachable, and clearly take pride in their work. I’ll definitely be taking my car here for any future work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Excellent service all round!"

"I have taken two cars to them, a BMW to look into a fault and Audi for a full service and both times been super helpful and really lovely to deal with. The service they provided pictures with the health check and it was so reasonable priced. And the fault they provided a full written report and helped where they could! I would definitely recommend"

"Used Indy and the team for the first time this week. I'm extremely happy with the service and quality of workmanship. I've struggled to find a reliable garage over the last four years. Poor service, poor quality parts used etc. Last year my car had to return to a different garage three times, breakpads need to be manufacture recommend parts. Not everyone wants cheap substandard parts. Needless to say didn't find that at Indy's. Talked me through all the parts used, showed me pictures of everything that had been done. I've left with the car driving better than it has in the last four years, I also have peace of mind. That my car is in good working condition. I could not reccomend Indy enough. If you want cheap service and parts go somewhere else. If you want quality service, quality parts at a fair price come here! Thank again!"
