I found myself with a dead car battery late in the afternoon! Called Matthews Tire and they told me to bring the car in immediately, which I did! Fifteen minutes later my battery was installed! The reception area where I waited was very clean and inviting. Terrific "service with a smile" from the two gentlemen that were at the reception desk!

Fond du Lac Wheel Alignment

Noticed Something Off While Driving? It Might Be Your Alignment

If your car hasn’t been handling quite right lately, you’re not alone. These are the most frequent issues we hear from Fond du Lac drivers:

  • Drifting left or right: If your car consistently veers to one side and you’re constantly adjusting the steering wheel, that’s a classic alignment red flag.
  • Tires wearing unevenly or faster than normal: Misaligned wheels can cause tread to wear out on one edge, leading to shorter tire life and more frequent replacements.
  • Off-center steering wheel: Your steering wheel isn’t centered when you’re driving straight. That’s your car’s way of telling you the angles are off.
  • Loose or unstable steering feel: If your vehicle feels wobbly, especially at highway speeds, alignment or suspension issues could be the cause.
  • Unusual noises while turning: Squealing or rubbing sounds from your wheels when cornering may indicate prolonged misalignment affecting other parts.

Even a minor curb bump, deep pothole or small accident can throw your alignment off. Swing by Matthews Tire in Fond du Lac and we’ll run a quick check. We’ll get you straightened out before it leads to bigger repairs.

Wheel Alignment Experts in Fond du Lac, WI

What We Inspect During a Professional Wheel Alignment

You don’t need to be an expert on alignment angles like “caster” or “toe-in”, that’s what we’re here for. At Matthews Tire in Fond du Lac, we explain everything in plain English so you know exactly what’s going on with your vehicle.

Our technicians inspect your suspension, steering and tire wear before performing alignment using computerized measurements. Our process includes:

  • Reviewing your vehicle’s critical steering and suspension angles
  • Spotting tire position issues that could cause uneven wear or pulling
  • Identifying worn or damaged components that might affect alignment

We use digital alignment tools to measure down to incredibly fine margins. Then we adjust everything to meet your car’s factory specifications. This ensures your car drives straight and smooth, just like it should.

In short? No vague answers. No shortcuts. Just precise, professional alignment done right the first time.

Frequently Asked Wheel Alignment Questions

How long does a wheel alignment take at your Green Bay shop?

A standard wheel alignment typically takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on your vehicle’s make and model and its suspension condition, or other factors like the shop’s available equipment. A front-end (2-wheel) alignment usually takes about 30–60 minutes, while a four-wheel alignment can take up to 90 minutes.

For the most accurate service, we recommend scheduling an appointment and requesting a printout of your before-and-after alignment specs.

We’re right off Johnson Street, so it’s easy to drop your vehicle off and grab lunch at Friar Tuck’s, Gino’s Italian Restaurant or Riviera Maya Mexican Bar & Grill. We’re also close enough to grab some coffee downtown at Lavish Coffee, Wonder or Just Love Coffee Cafe.

Is winter weather in Fond du Lac hard on wheel alignment?
Absolutely. Potholes and icy road conditions around town can throw off your alignment fast. We see a lot of misalignment issues right after snowmelt and spring pothole season.
Does wheel alignment affect gas mileage?
Yes, it does. Misaligned wheels cause tires to drag instead of roll smoothly, which increases resistance and reduces fuel efficiency. Proper alignment minimizes friction and helps improve gas mileage by up to 10%, depending on vehicle type and driving conditions.
Is alignment necessary after new tires?
Yes. Proper alignment ensures even tire wear, maximizes tire lifespan and improves vehicle handling. Without alignment, new tires may wear unevenly, reducing performance and safety. Most manufacturers and mechanics recommend aligning wheels when new tires are installed.
Do you need a wheel alignment after replacing ball joints?
Yes, wheel alignment ensures correct geometry and safe vehicle operation after replacing ball joints. Ball joints are part of the suspension system and affect wheel angles. Replacing them can alter alignment settings, causing uneven tire wear and poor handling.
Do you need an alignment after replacing wheel bearings?
Not always, but it is recommended to check it following a wheel bearing replacement. If the replacement affects suspension components or alters the wheel hub position, alignment may shift. A post-repair alignment check ensures proper handling, tire wear and vehicle safety.
Does wheel alignment cause vibration?
Improper wheel alignment can cause vibration. When wheels are misaligned, they create uneven contact with the road, leading to irregular tire wear and steering wheel shake. However, most vibration issues stem from unbalanced tires or suspension problems, not alignment alone.
