German auto brands are renowned worldwide for their exceptional engine performance, smooth driving experience, and luxurious features. While it’s true that manufacturers have tuned their engines, suspensions, steering, and exhausts to provide peak performance, good wheels are the deciding factor for a good driving experience. That’s why these brands mandate precise instructions for wheel alignment and tire maintenance, which are understood and executed by technicians exclusively trained on German brands.
If your vehicle veers and drifts to one side while driving, there may be a wheel misalignment issue. This causes uneven wear on the tire and makes driving tiring, requiring frequent adjustments to stay straight on the road. Sometimes, due to the nature of the turning tires, it may even cause fatal road incidents. Therefore, it should be addressed as soon as possible – visit our Mint Automotive workshop in Bellingham for swift and efficient repairs.
A vehicle should also have its steering wheel aligned with the center of the road. By doing so during the alignment service, you’re more capable of driving straight efficiently. If you find that your steering wheel is off-center, then your vehicle's wheels are misaligned. Our excellent ASE-certified technicians at our facility near Bellingham can correct this problem.
If you feel the steering wheel of your vehicle wobbling or vibrating at high speeds, there is likely misalignment. Misaligned wheels, at high speeds, cause the tires to pull against each other, resulting in vibration. It can be easily fixed in our Ellis Street workshop, located near the Bellingham food bank.
At Mint Automotive, we have been working with German brands since 2001, offering wheel alignment services alongside a range of other repairs and services. For precision and quality, we proudly house Hunter Alignment equipment, the highest-grade wheel alignment system on the market. Our licensed mechanics are thoroughly qualified to operate this advanced equipment and provide services for even the most luxurious vehicles, including BMW and Mercedes-Benz models.
At our auto shop, we utilize advanced laser and imaging systems technology to take precise measurements of wheel angles. Then, the tire wear and suspension are checked to ensure proper alignment. Once the alignment has been calibrated, we can determine whether it’s good to go. Please note that we always work according to the company’s instructions, taking into account the brand and model, so that your vehicle receives the custom care it deserves.
During the adjustment process, each wheel angle, including camber, caster, and toe, is meticulously aligned. It’s worth noting that several luxury models also feature more adjustable suspension points than their standard counterparts. Some models require electronic recalibration or a hard reset after wheel alignment to function correctly.
In compliance with factory guidelines and for warranty assurance, the before-and-after specifications and measurements are documented. Additionally, we are the most advanced ADAS calibrator in town, utilizing our in-house Hunter/Bosch DAS3000 equipment. With 20 years of experience, we have been providing quality repairs and services to drivers in the surrounding areas, including Anacortes, Blaine, Ferndale, and Lynden. Situated on Ellis Street in Bellingham, our skilled technicians instill confidence in our capabilities, which is why we offer a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty on our repairs and components.
