Is your vehicle pulling to one side? Are you noticing uneven tyre wear?
At Manchester Powder Coating (MPC), we don’t just restore wheels to showroom condition we ensure your vehicle performs exactly as the manufacturer intended. With over 12 years of expertise in the automotive industry, we are the trusted specialists for precision wheel alignment and geometry checks in the local area.
Located in Trafford Park, just minutes from Salford and MediaCity, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to correct misalignment, ensuring your car handles safely and your tyres last longer.
Misalignment is often caused by potholes, kerb impacts, or general wear and tear on UK roads. Ignoring it doesn’t just affect your driving experience it impacts your wallet and safety.
One of the most expensive consequences of poor alignment is tyre damage. When your wheels aren't aligned correctly, the tyres drag against the road surface rather than rolling smoothly. This causes "scrubbing," which leads to bald patches on the inside or outside edges. By correcting the geometry, we ensure your tyres wear evenly, helping them last thousands of miles longer.
Misaligned wheels fight against each other, creating unnecessary rolling resistance. This means your engine has to work harder and burn more diesel or petrol just to keep the car moving forward. Proper alignment reduces this drag, helping you get more miles per gallon and saving you money at the pump.
If your car feels like it is drifting or "pulling" to the left or right when you’re on a straight road, your geometry is likely out. This can be dangerous, especially in wet conditions or during emergency braking. Our service restores stability, making the vehicle easier to control and much less tiring to drive on long journeys.
Just like our refurbishment services, we follow a rigorous process to ensure flawless results. We believe in honest assessments—no hidden costs, no surprises.
Before we begin, our technicians perform a suspension health check. We examine your steering components to ensure there are no worn parts, such as tie rod ends or ball joints, that would make alignment impossible. We will always give you an honest report before carrying out any work.
We verify the adjustments and provide you with a final report confirming your vehicle is back to optimal specifications, giving you total peace of mind.
We aren't new to this. We have been operating in the automotive sector for over a decade, working on everything from daily family run-arounds to high-performance supercars. We understand the intricacies of vehicle geometry and apply that deep knowledge to every job we do.
Precision is key. We invest in the best diagnostic and alignment equipment available on the market. This ensures that when you leave our workshop, your car is aligned to the strictest tolerances possible, eliminating guesswork.
We know you are busy and need your vehicle back on the road. Our streamlined process means most alignment checks are completed quickly—often within the hour. You can relax while we work, knowing you won't be without your car for long.
Our workshop is perfectly positioned for customers in Salford. We are located in the heart of Trafford Park, easily accessible from Salford Quays, the M602, and the surrounding boroughs, making it easy to drop off your vehicle.
2-wheel alignment (tracking) generally refers to adjusting only the front wheels. However, 4-wheel alignment is a more comprehensive service that ensures all four wheels are square to one another and the road. This is the gold standard for modern vehicles and ensures the best handling and safety.
Most alignment services are completed within 30 to 60 minutes. If your vehicle requires complex adjustments due to seized components (common on older vehicles), we will keep you informed of any extra time required.
Absolutely. Many customers choose to have their alignment checked at the same time as their alloy wheel refurbishment or powder coating service. This ensures your car looks and drives like new when you collect it.
Yes, absolutely. Fitting new tyres without checking the alignment is a risk. If the geometry is out, you could ruin your brand-new tyres in as little as a few hundred miles. We highly recommend a check whenever rubber is replaced.
