Wheel Alignment Service in Lancaster, PA
You’ve likely heard about a wheel alignment service, but if you’re looking for a refresher course, then we can help. Our team here at Brubaker Chrysler Jeep has prepared this short overview to let you know what to look out for and what your car may need.
Warning Signs
The first step in a wheel alignment service is recognizing when your Jeep Compass, Cherokee, or Wrangler is in need of one. As you drive down Route 222, you may notice that the vehicle tends to drift to one side. This can mean that your suspension has shifted the wheels out of place. Additionally, this can lead to worsened fuel efficiency, which can be a symptom of many problems, but is definitely an issue with misaligned wheels. As you grab the steering wheel, it may shake more often than previously. Once you’ve parked the car, you can inspect the wheels for any uneven wear and tear. The inner and outer edges of the tires will show signs of balding since pressure is being applied to them more.
Types of Wheel Alignments
When you come into our Service Department, you’ll be met with a few different types of wheel alignment services. The most common is the 2-wheel alignment that focuses on the front half of the vehicle. This service is designed for vehicles with a rear axle, since their back wheels are firmly in place, so they won’t need to be realigned. Many Jeep models have AWD or an independent rear suspension, which will mean they’re in need of a 4-wheel alignment. Our team also offers a thrust angle alignment, which is a less common specialty service for when the non-driving rear axle breaks on your way to Buchanan Park.
Maintenance Tips
Our waiting room has plenty of amenities, but we’re sure you’d rather get back to your drives around Lancaster, so take stock of these maintenance tips to keep you on the road. Hitting a speed bump or pothole at a fast pace can jostle around everyone in the cabin as well as the suspension. This can shift the wheels off-kilter, so try to avoid these obstacles or take them at a slower speed when possible. Your vehicle may be designed to go off-road, but constant travel on uneven surfaces can negatively affect the suspension as well, so try to stick with paved roads when you can. Lastly, frequently check the health of your car’s systems to catch any problems before they become too serious. When you do find an issue, you can always ask a tech for any clarification!

Very professional. I have never had any problems
“ Brubaker Chrysler has always serviced my Pacifica. I usually wait in an unused office room while they service it. They always explain any necessary repairs that need to be done, but they don't try to get me to do things that aren't needed. They are very professional. I have never had any problems. ”
Impressed by friendliness, and Knowledge!
“ Though I was surprised when I arrived at Brubaker as a new service customer recently moving to Lancaster by the small size of the overall operation, I was impressed by the friendliness and knowledge of the service staff. I waited in the rather time undistinguished customer room for 4 hours for $1800 of services for our 2021 Jeep Gladiator at 60,000 miles. We have bought and had serviced a number of Jeeps at Faulkner in Mechanicsburg which is a huge sophisticated operation. This is "mom and pop" for sure but ultimately satisfactory. ”

Right Car, Right Options, Right Price. Brubakers worked with us until the financing was finalized. After receiving it, we we impressed how clean it was. VERY Clean. Getting ready for our first road trip. ”
Smooth Sale
“ The sale went very smoothly. Bill sat in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 4XE explaining all the features. There was no rush. There are so many features in this vehicle. Definitely recommend the dealership. ”
Greeted in a Kind Manner
“ As soon as I walk on the lot I was greeted( by Manny) in a kind manner. I expressed what I was looking for and they showed me exactly what I was interested in. I didn’t want to make any rush decisions so I went home to think about if this was a purchase I wanted to make. I was contacted the next day and told about some other vehicles that I might be interested in if I was available to come in. I was busy at the time but I was treated so kind the day before I truly did not want to give my business to anyone else. I like how Manny was very knowledgeable of the vehicle and even help me on how to use my new iPhone. ( I’ve always had Samsung.) he also remembered our conversation from the day before and remembered my hobbies and explained why purchasing this vehicle would benefit me and my family. I’ve been to other dealerships n was treated poorly. I would definitely recommend buying a vehicle here to friends and family ”
