Uneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Wilmington drivers that their wheels may be out of alignment.When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor at PONTE'S AUTOCARE will inspect your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He?ll also compare your current alignment with the vehicle manufacturer?s settings.Your vehicle owner?s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in a crash, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Wilmington, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your PONTE'S AUTOCARE service advisor perform an important alignment check.PONTE'S AUTOCARE2401 Concord PikeWilmington, Delaware 1980330

The simple fact is that 70% of car batteries fail within 4 years. They just need to be replaced at PONTE'S AUTOCARE when they are no longer able to hold a full charge.Batteries are a big ticket item for most Wilmington drivers and it’s tempting to put off buying a new one as long as possible. But a battery that cannot hold a full charge requires the alternator to work extra hard, causing it to wear out prematurely.Your PONTE'S AUTOCARE service advisor can test your battery to see if it should be replaced. Testing is a good idea for Delaware drivers because a battery might still be good, but become dead because of a bad alternator or even a worn serpentine belt and tensioner.
