Wheel alignment, also known as tire alignment, is a crucial maintenance service that ensures your vehicle’s wheels are set to the manufacturer’s specifications. Proper wheel alignment affects how your car handles, increases fuel efficiency, and prolongs the life of your tires. At JF Automotive in Maidstone, Kent, we specialize in precise 2 and 4 wheel alignment services to keep your vehicle performing at its best.
