Car Pulls to One SideNeeds attention soon

If you have to hold the wheel off-center to drive straight, the car is out of alignment, has uneven tire pressure, or something in the suspension is bent or worn — and your tires are paying for it every mile.

Most likely causes

  1. Wheel alignment out of spec — Hitting curbs and Florida potholes knocks toe and camber out; the classic cause.
  2. Uneven tire pressure — A low tire on one side pulls the car toward it — check this first, it's free.
  3. Tire conicity or uneven wear — A defective or unevenly worn tire pulls even with perfect alignment.
  4. Worn or bent suspension components — Especially after a pothole hit or minor collision.

What to do

Even out tire pressures first. If the pull remains, get an alignment check — most shops measure before selling you anything, and correcting it now stops the accelerated tire wear that costs more than the alignment.

What the repair typically costs

Related services in Florida typically run $60–$200 depending on what the diagnosis finds:

Front-end alignment$60–$120
Four-wheel alignment$100–$200

Common questions

How much does an alignment cost?

See the cost ranges below — it's routinely one of the cheapest fixes with the biggest tire-life payoff.

Why does my car pull after hitting a pothole?

Impacts can bend components or shift alignment angles instantly — a one-hit pull deserves a suspension inspection, not just an alignment.

Front-end or four-wheel alignment?

Vehicles with adjustable rear geometry benefit from four-wheel; the shop will know which your car needs.
