Wheel Alignment in Kendal
Wheel Alignment by The MOT Centre
If you’re searching for a wheel alignment in Kendal, 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 The MOT Centre. 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.
The MOT Centre customer reviews
"Best garage inTown"
"amazing service and great team, go above and beyond for you, would definitely recommend."
"Craig and his team were excellent. We were on holiday when our motorhome developed a fault. Had to get their help a couple of times, so helpful and friendly. Problem sorted and managed to get home safely. Great service."
"Long story short: On holiday, got rear ended, insurance companies trying to work out if I could use the car or not, Tom at The MOT Centre had a look at my car and got it well and truly roadworthy so we could carry on with the holiday and sort insurance stuff out when we got back home. He literally dropped everything to fit us in. A proper holiday saving hero! Thank you."
"Brilliant mechanics plus quite entertaining!"
"Great service, Thanks to Craig, Tom & the team keep my car in good order, also spot on when ot comes to MOT's on both the car and the bike, fitting me in when needed 😀"
"Great service and attention to detail. Took my Audi A3 for towbar and 13pin electrics to be installed. Also installed cruise control as wasn’t part of the original configuration. Plus replaced a brake disk back plate and some other rattly bits (don’t know what but they did) all very professionally and good value. They clearly know their way around VAG cars. Thank you."
