Car Doc On The Island Automotive Tips from Car Doc On The Island: Signs of an Alignment ProblemPosted September 20, 2016 9:42 AMWhen properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Venice drivers often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like an accident, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday Venice driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. In addition, your vehicle can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, Car Doc On The Island in Venice can return your wheels to the vehicle manufacturer’s factory settings. Most owner's manuals suggest an alignment check every year or two. Give us a call.

What our clients are saying about us

This was my first experience using this business. iExcellent. I can see why they have a good reputation locally. Communication was excellent. They are courteous and competent. I'll use them again.
Outstanding service, supremely knowledgeable, super reliable. I have limited funds and it takes time for me to give out trust. I was very hesitant to spend where I didn't have to until the AC compressor for my Honda CRV went out... With Florida being as hot as it is I had to make a choice and I am extremely satisfied with my decision to go with the Car Doc on the Isle. Friendly faces, clean environment, and the reassurance that it was going to be okay. Stacy guided me on the situation and made my initial hesitation vanish nearly instantly. From now on I know exactly where I am going to go when I need new tires or something pops up - I'm going straight to the Car Doc.
