The Problem with Potholes

Thankfully, summer has finally arrived- the sun is out and all of us here at Devonshire Motors are certainly a great deal happier for it. But there are still remnants of winter on our roads- uneven road surfaces and a fair few potholes, which can cause problems for vehicles at this time of year.

Lumps and bumps in the road can, over time, cause wheels to come out of alignment (meaning that all four wheels face in slightly different directions as your car travels down the road, working against one another rather than all pulling in the same direction). There are various impacts on cars because of this- tyres can wear out quicker than they should, the vehicle uses up more fuel and you may feel your car pulling to one side of the road or another.

A popular solution to this problem is Four-Wheel Alignment. This utilises a state of the art machine and a purpose built alignment ramp, designed to measure and adjust your cars suspension settings to ensure they are pointing in the same direction and at the correct angle to the road. This saves money by improving fuel economy, makes tyres last longer, gives you a smoother ride and improves handling and, most importantly, safety.


At Devonshire Motors we offer Four-Wheel Alignment for any make and model of vehicle and follow the same processes, and use the same equipment, as the specialist wheel alignment centres (but for considerably less).
