🚗 Does an MOT check wheel alignment?

The short answer is no, but poor alignment can still lean to an MOT failure.

Our latest blog looks at what the MOT actually checks, how toe and camber errors show up through tyre wear, and why spotting those signs in the MOT bay can turn a simple observation into a properly diagnosed workshop job.

A useful read for MOT testers, garages and workshop owners. Read the full article here:

Wheel alignment is not an MOT test item, but misalignment causes failures. What testers check, and what it means.

Is your wheel aligner performing as accurately as the day it was installed? 🔧

Even the most reliable alignment equipment needs regular calibration to maintain the accuracy your customers rely on.

At Supertracker, our service contracts help keep your wheel aligners accurate, reliable, and ready for whatever your workshop throws at them.

Here is one of our 420 RWT Commercial Vehicle CCDs going through an annual calibration and database update, keeping it ready for another year of dependable service.

At Supertracker, every calibration is carried out using equipment that's referenced against our master calibration rig, which is itself recalibrated every year. That means you can be confident your aligner continues to meet the highest standards of accuracy.

🚗 How often should wheel alignment be checked?

Wheel Alignment has a direct effect on tyre life, fuel economy, handling and safety which could be costing your customers massively.

Garages should check a vehicle’s wheel alignment at least every 2–3 years, and they should encourage customers to get alignment checked even sooner after:
✔️ Hitting a pothole or kerb
✔️ Fitting new tyres
✔️ Suspension or steering work

As more motorists become aware of the benefits of wheel alignment, more workshops are looking at how they can offer fast, profitable alignment checks with the right equipment. The Supertracker alignment range is a proven, easy and affordable way to add alignment to your garages’ service offering.

Explore the range via the links in our bio, and read our latest blog to find out why wheel alignment really matters. 🔗🚗

🚌 Bad alignment could be quietly corroding your fleet's profits.

Wasted fuel and tyres wearing out too soon are problems that, for vehicles earning revenue every single day, soon add up. But these problems can be alleviated with accurate alignment.

The STR 1500 is a tried and tested precision commercial laser aligner for heavy vehicles like buses, which has been trusted for alignment by fleet operators and commercial vehicle workshops for decades.

We've just completed another installation at a bus depot. Here are the results ✨

🌡️☀️ Britain's sudden rise in temperature, whilst hard on people, is especially hard on their cars and tyres.

Most drivers understand that hot weather affects tyre pressures. Far fewer realise that extreme temperatures can also highlight underlying alignment and suspension issues.

This increase in road temperatures in the summer months can soften surfaces, leading to faster deterioration, which can contribute to accelerated uneven tyre wear and make existing alignment problems more noticeable.

The hot weather is the perfect opportunity for garages to educate customers on alignment and tyre wear warning signs:
🚗 Steering wheel off-centre
📐 Vehicle pulling to one side
🛞 Uneven tyre wear
⛽ Reduced fuel economy

Help your customers stay informed and prepared even during the most extreme weather conditions. Encouraging quick wheel alignment checks with your Supertracker aligner to help improve their vehicle’s handling and efficiency, and increase the longevity of their tyres.
