Kia Pothole Service Package

What Goes Into the Pothole Service Package at Carriage Kia of Woodstock?

• Four-Wheel Alignment – Hitting a pothole can throw your Kia’s wheels out of alignment, but this isn’t always evident at first. If the jolt was drastic enough to make your wheels notably misaligned, alignment service is a great way to fix this. It’s a good idea even if you don’t notice that your vehicle is pulling to one side. It’s possible for the wheels to become only slightly misaligned. Even with mild misalignment, the tires may begin to wear down unevenly, making it necessary for you to have them replaced sooner than usual. Our technicians will use precision tools to inspect the alignment of all four wheels, making adjustments to the camber, toe, and caster angles if necessary to bring the alignment back to factory specifications.
• Tire Balancing – When your tires are installed, they’re perfectly balanced to create a smooth, safe ride and extend their lifespan. But when you hit a pothole, the tires may become unbalanced. This can make your drive bumpy, and it may cause your tires to wear down prematurely. Our technicians will inspect the balance of all four tires and will make adjustments with precise weights if they find that any tire is unbalanced.
• Suspension Inspection – Hitting a pothole may wreak havoc on your vehicle’s suspension. That’s why our technicians will visually inspect all of the suspension components, including the shocks, struts, coil springs, CV joints, and more. If they notice anything that’s out of the ordinary, they’ll make the necessary adjustments.
