WHEEL ALIGNMENT IN Tracy, CA

Computerized Laser 4 Wheel Alignment Service – Sprint Motorsports and Auto Repair

There are many shops and facilities that offer vehicle wheel alignment services. Most shops and chain type tire stores have a basic mechanic who is trained just to get the suspension geometry in the green area of their alignment machine readouts. They don’t truly consider how the angles or slight degree differences from one corner to the other can have a dramatic effect on the balance, handling, and overall performance of the car. Very few technicians or “mechanics” for this matter, understand the physics, kinematics, and application of inertia and gravitation forces on your vehicle. We understand…. Whether your car is a daily commuter, high-performance street car, custom ride that is stanced, or a full-blown custom race car, we take great pride in our wheel alignments. We honestly feel that we are the best in Tracy and the rest of the San Francisco Bay Area. We will prove it with every standard wheel alignment and custom alignment.

SPECIAL PROMOTION: 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENTS STARTING AT: $100.00**

**Prices are for street cars only. Formula cars, complete race cars, installation of shims or camber bolts and other adjustment parts are an additional charge.

REASONS FOR PERFORMING 2 WHEEL AND 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT SERVICE AND REPAIR

At Sprint Motorsports, all vehicles getting an alignment receive a visual inspection of their suspension, steering, and ABS ( Traction Control System) system calibration (if applicable) for issues that may prevent the car from getting a proper and accurate wheel alignment. Customers are queried on driving habits and other factors so as to adjust the car properly for its desired use.

CORNER BALANCING & RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

All too often we see performance cars which had coil-over or race suspensions installed by another individual, technician, or facility that did not adjust them properly. We have seen cars vary by as much as 30% weight between the corners of its axis, thus making the car highly unstable in progressive driving. Don’t let this happen to you!

Ride Height Adjustment is far more complicated than just making sure the car sits at a certain height on level ground. Actually, a properly adjusted vehicle will have its ride height and thus Corner Weights (weight of car distributed per wheel or axis) slightly different at each corner in order to achieve proper weight distribution and compensate for the driver’s weight in the cockpit, while giving the car its maximum balance, best rake and lean (front to rear, and side to side stance) according to its design layout, roll center, and center of gravity.

Note: A vehicle must be properly aligned after any Ride Height & Corner Balancing because the adjustments have a direct effect on the toe, camber, and caster alignment angles of a vehicle.




TIRES & WHEELS

We offer tire mounting and wheel balancing to our customers. Yes, our services are a little more expensive than a big chain tire retailer such as Wheel Works, Firestone, and Goodyear. However, you can take comfort in knowing that the little bit of extra money you spend goes a long way towards preventing scratches and damage to your wheels. We take extra time in using great care and paying attention to detail when mounting the tires on your expensive wheels. We use top-of-line Hunter Dealer Level Equipment not offered by competitors. You can trust that the person performing the work on your special vehicle is a properly trained and highly experienced individual with credentials and formal training and not a basic or entry level tech.
