Last week we talked about signs it's time for new tires.

This week, let's talk about something that can wear those tires out much faster: wheel alignment.

Here are 5 signs your vehicle may need an alignment:

🔹 Vehicle pulls to one side
🔹 Steering wheel isn't centered
🔹 Uneven tire wear
🔹 Squealing tires during turns
🔹 Steering feels loose or unstable

A proper alignment helps your vehicle handle correctly and can help your tires last longer.

Have you noticed any of these signs recently?

Bring your vehicle by Whetzel's Automotive and we'll help determine if an alignment is needed.

South Carolina summer heat is no joke, and your vehicle feels it too.

Before the hottest days put extra strain on your A/C and cooling system, watch for signs like:

• A/C blowing warm air
• Weak airflow from the vents
• Temperature gauge running high
• Coolant leaks or low coolant
• Strange smells or noises when the A/C is on

At Whetzel’s Automotive, we’ll check your system, find the root cause, and help keep your vehicle cool, comfortable, and road-ready.

Don’t wait until the heat pushes it too far. Schedule your service today.

🚨Fun Fact Alert🚨

The used oil from your oil changes don't get tossed out... we recycle it and use it to help heat the shop in the colder months.

Keeping the shop comfortable for our mechanics is important to us. They spend long days working hard to keep everyone safe on the road, and they deserve a workspace that takes care of them too. A happy shop = better care for your vehicle. 🛠️🚗

Nothing better than a smooth, straight drive.

If your car’s pulling to one side or your tires are wearing down unevenly, it might be time for an alignment.
