Wheel Alignment and Tire Adjustments
Ensure your tires are in optimal condition with precise alignment services at Barkley's Auto Service. Properly aligned tires not only extend their lifespan but also enhance your vehicle's handling by preventing it from "pulling" to one side. Our certified tire specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously inspect your tires for signs of uneven wear, cracking, or slow leaks.
If uneven tread patterns start appearing on your tires, it's likely time for a wheel alignment. This complex process involves adjusting your wheels' angles to match the specifications set by your vehicle's manufacturer.

- Increased Tire Life: Evenly aligned wheels prevent premature tire wear, saving you money in the long run.

Alignment FAQs
How long does a full alignment take?
A wheel alignment typically takes about one hour for both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, if significant wear is found in suspension components such as bushings, tie rods, or steering and suspension parts, additional repairs may be required, which can extend the service time.
What happens if you wait too long for an alignment?
Delaying a wheel alignment can have a negative impact on tire life, vehicle handling, and fuel efficiency. Even minor alignment issues that are difficult to see with the naked eye can cause uneven tire wear over time. To avoid premature tire replacement and maintain safe driving conditions, it is recommended to have your alignment checked approximately every 6,000 miles.
What is checked during an alignment?
During a wheel alignment, technicians examine three primary alignment angles: camber, toe, and caster. Camber measures the inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front, toe measures how much the tires point inward or outward, and caster measures the steering axis angle. These measurements are adjusted to manufacturer specifications to improve handling, tire wear, and overall driving performance.
Do I need an alignment after replacing tires?
Yes. Having an alignment performed after replacing tires helps ensure the tires meet the road at the proper angles. Correct alignment promotes even tread wear, improves handling, increases fuel efficiency, extends tire life, and enhances overall driving safety and comfort.

What People Say About Us

Jim McLeod, 04/27/2022
We just wanted to thank the crew at Barkley's for helping us sort out our battery problem after we found ourselves stranded in Greenbrier. After waiting an hour for our road assistance that never showed up, I walked to Barkley's shop. The service tech stopped what he was doing to give me a ride back to my car and jump started the battery. I was able to drive back to the shop and they replaced the battery while I waited. It took less than thirty minutes from the time I walked through the door until I was back on the road again. Wonderful people that went out of their way to help two travelers from out-of-state. -

When our daughter's car wouldn't start in Conway while in college at UCA, everyone was great to help her right away and get her back on the road. I cannot say enough good things about the way they treated her and us being so far away from her and pretty much helpless! Thank you all again from a concerned mom! -
Matt H.Best place in Greenbrier to have work done. Took my truck in and asked them to do a bumper to bumper inspection and tell me what it needed. They gave me a list of things that needed to be done immediately and another of things that could be done at a later time. They were flexible with my time and got the work done on schedule. Their prices were fantastic and their entire crew was extremely professional.
