Misaligned wheels can lead to uneven tyre wear, resulting in you needing to replace tyres sooner. In addition, you may experience poor vehicle handling and reduced fuel efficiency with misaligned wheels.
Wheels naturally come out of alignment over time, but can also become misaligned after a driving incident that throws the alignment off. Getting the issue addressed promptly will help ensure your tyres wear evenly and make for a safer, more economical drive.
If any of the following are occurring, it’s important to bring your vehicle in for an assessment.
Follow these three simple steps to book a wheel alignment.
Our experienced Melbourne teams will help you maximise the life of your tyres and improve handling and vehicle safety.

At Double D Tyres, a wheel alignment looks like this:
In addition to performing a wheel alignment, we may also perform wheel balancing, particularly if we’re fitting new tyres, rotating existing ones, or have noticed uneven tyre wear. Wheel balancing involves placing small weights on a tyre or wheel to ensure the weight is evenly distributed and the wheel spins without vibrating.
A standard wheel alignment should take between 30 and 60 minutes, but if repairs or adjustments are required, it may take longer.
Double D Tyres offers wheel alignment services at five convenient locations across Melbourne.

A wheel alignment adjusts your wheels to the angles specified by the vehicle manufacturer, ensuring they are correctly positioned for straight tracking, even tyre wear, and optimal handling. Without correct alignment, tyres wear unevenly and prematurely, fuel efficiency drops, and your vehicle becomes harder and less safe to drive.
Common signs include your vehicle drifting to one side without steering input, a steering wheel that sits off-centre on straight roads, uneven or rapid tyre wear, a squealing sound when cornering at moderate speeds, and a feeling of instability at highway speeds. Hitting a pothole or kerb can also immediately knock wheels out of alignment.
A standard wheel alignment takes between 30 and 60 minutes. If additional repairs or adjustments to suspension or steering components are required, it may take a little longer. Our team will advise you of timing when you book.
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend a wheel alignment check every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres, or at least once a year. You should also get an alignment check after hitting a significant pothole or kerb, after suspension or steering repairs, or whenever you notice any of the handling or wear signs listed above.
Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your wheels relative to each other and the road surface. Wheel balancing distributes weight evenly around the wheel and tyre to eliminate vibration. The two services address different issues but are often performed together, particularly when fitting new tyres or when uneven wear is detected.
Our alignment service begins with an inspection of your tyres, suspension, and steering components. We then place your vehicle on an alignment rack to measure the current angles and make adjustments to camber, caster, toe, and thrust angle as required, bringing everything back within manufacturer specifications.
Yes. Prolonged misalignment places additional stress on suspension and steering components, accelerating wear on parts like ball joints, wheel bearings, and shock absorbers. Addressing alignment issues promptly protects these more costly components and reduces overall maintenance expenses over time.
Yes. Misaligned wheels create additional rolling resistance as tyres are effectively fighting against each other rather than rolling cleanly in the same direction. Correcting alignment reduces that resistance, which can result in a noticeable improvement in fuel efficiency, particularly for drivers covering high weekly kilometres.
Yes, though truck and heavy vehicle wheel alignment is available at our Altona North location specifically. For passenger cars, utes, and vans, wheel alignment is available across all four Double D locations in West Melbourne, Altona North, Campbellfield, and Dandenong South.
