4 Wheel Laser Alignment - Why is it important?

Paynes of Hinckley takes great pride in being able to offer an all-round service when it comes to car and van maintenance. This includes our four-wheel laser alignment check, which makes sure that your vehicle's steering remains accurate and safe at all times and in all conditions. The benefits of the alignment check are extensive; you should make sure it is carried out annually with your regular servicing or every 12,000-15,000 miles.

Mis-alignment of tyres is a key reason for tyre wear and it is very easily avoided. Regular realignment can add thousands of miles of life to your tyres, saving you money along the way. It will also help to improve fuel economy figures as the rolling resistance is reduced, which will help you save money and benefit the environment by lowering your carbon emissions.

If you find that your car pulls to one side while you are meant to be travelling in a straight line, it might be because the wheels are not aligned properly and this can also affect the handling. To ensure safe, straight-line driving it is important to have your wheels realigned regularly.

The TRUE 4 Wheel Alignment Service from Paynes uses the Hunter Elite Alignment system, which is extremely accurate in assessing your vehicle's front and rear suspension geometry. We will provide you with custom printouts of the before and after results, so that you can see for yourself the adjustment that we have made.

Financial Conduct Authority

Paynes Garages Ltd. is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Paynes Garages Ltd. to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
