A knock against a kerb, a pothole, or simply wear: that's all it takes to throw out your vehicle's alignment. The result: tyres wearing unevenly, off-centre steering wheel, a car that pulls to one side. HES Automobile adjusts your vehicle's alignment on a precision bench, in Meyrin.
Correct alignment means better road holding, safer driving, even tyre wear and even a slight fuel saving. It is an adjustment that quickly pays for itself.
When to have your alignment adjusted?
Several signs should alert you and justify an alignment check.
- Abnormal or uneven tyre wear
- Off-centre steering wheel when driving straight
- The car pulls left or right
- After an impact (kerb, pothole)
- After replacing running-gear parts
- When changing tyres
Precision adjustment
We measure and adjust the running-gear angles (tracking, and depending on the vehicle camber and caster) using an alignment bench. The adjustment is set to your model's manufacturer values for optimal road behaviour.

Frequently asked questions
Should alignment be done when changing tyres?
Strongly recommended: correct alignment protects your new tyres from premature and uneven wear.
My steering wheel isn't straight, is it the alignment?
Very likely. An off-centre steering wheel when driving straight is a classic symptom of misaligned tracking. A check will confirm it.
