Wheel Alignment

CAMBER

Keeps your tires flat on the road.

CASTER

Provides straight-line stability and steering return.

What Our Customers Say

My truck was pulling hard to the right and vibrating at highway speed. They found the problem, fixed it same day, explained everything clearly, and the truck drives perfectly now.

Google Reviewer

Mobile, AL — Google Review

They found a worn part during a free alignment check before it became dangerous. Showed me the part, explained what would have happened if it failed at highway speed, and fixed it that afternoon.

Google Reviewer

Beaufort, SC — Google Review

My tires were wearing unevenly and I couldn’t figure out why. Stop & Go found the root cause. After the repair and alignment, the wear pattern corrected itself. Saved me from buying tires I didn’t need yet.

Google Reviewer

Lafayette, LA — Google Review

Clunking over every bump for months. Finally brought it in and they found the problem quickly — an affordable fix. The ride is completely different now. Wish I hadn’t waited so long.

Suspension & Alignment Questions

How do I know if my shocks or struts are worn?

Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, a nose-diving sensation when braking, uneven tire wear, or a clunking sound over rough pavement. Worn shocks and struts can also affect your ability to control the vehicle in emergency maneuvers. An inspection is the most reliable way to assess their condition.

What causes a car to pull to one side?

Pulling is most commonly caused by a wheel alignment that's out of specification, uneven tire pressure, or a difference in tire condition between sides. Less commonly, a sticking brake caliper or worn suspension component can cause pulling. We inspect before recommending any repair.

How long do shocks and struts last?

Most manufacturers recommend inspecting shocks and struts around 50,000 miles, though actual wear depends heavily on road conditions and driving habits. Vehicles driven on rough roads or with heavy loads may need service sooner. There's no universal interval — inspection determines condition.

Do you inspect the vehicle before recommending repairs?

Yes. We inspect the relevant systems, document what we find, and explain it to you before recommending any work. Nothing gets done without your written approval.

Can you inspect a vehicle that pulls or vibrates?

Yes. Pulling and vibration are common symptoms with several possible causes — tires, alignment, wheel balance, or suspension components. We inspect to identify the actual cause rather than guessing from the symptom.

Can I book online?

Yes. You can schedule a suspension inspection or alignment service online at any of our three locations — Lafayette LA, Mobile AL, and Beaufort SC.
