Wheel Alignment in Cricklewood
Park Royal Tyre & Alignment Centre handles wheel alignment for drivers from A5 Edgware Road (Cricklewood Broadway) and the rest of Cricklewood. Transparent pricing, qualified technicians and quality parts.
Van drivers working out of Cricklewood spend all day on the A5 Broadway and the North Circular, and a loaded van with tracking even slightly out chews front tyres in weeks. Our Hawk Eye alignment uses HD cameras to measure every wheel and reset the geometry exactly.
What wheel alignment in Cricklewood involves
Setting only the front wheels assumes the rear pair are perfectly true, and on a car with a few years behind it that is a large assumption. Our Hawk Eye equipment reads all four wheels together, so the front is aligned to where the back of the car is actually pointing rather than to where it is supposed to be. For the full breakdown, see our Wheel Alignment page.
Alignment for Cricklewood vans and working drivers
Delivery rounds along Cricklewood Broadway mean constant kerb-side stops, pothole strikes on the A5's patched surface and full payloads that magnify every geometry error. For a tradesperson, misalignment is not just a tyre bill; it is a van pulling at the wheel all day and front tyres that need replacing twice as often. The A406 North Circular adds high-speed scrub that turns a small toe error into visible wear within a fortnight.
A courier finishing a round via the A406 notices the van pulling left and the offside front tyre feathering. We put it on the Hawk Eye rig, measure all four wheels, correct toe and camber to manufacturer spec and hand over a printed before-and-after report, usually within the hour so the round continues that afternoon.
If you are booking in anyway, Hunter 4-wheel alignment can be done on the same visit.
Signs you may need wheel alignment
- Rear tyres wearing unevenly as well as the fronts
- The car appearing to sit slightly crooked as it drives away
- A front only alignment that did not solve the pull
- Uneven wear returning soon after a previous adjustment
- Wear showing at all four corners rather than just the front
The benefits
- The rear axle measured, not assumed
- Front wheels set to match the car's true line
- An even wear pattern across all four tyres
- A pull properly cured rather than masked
- Four wheel alignment from £50

Local tip for Cricklewood drivers: If you run a van from Cricklewood, check the front tyre shoulders every time you refuel. Feathering you can feel by hand shows up weeks before visible wear, and catching it early saves a pair of tyres.
Your wheel alignment questions, answered
Do you align loaded work vans from Cricklewood?
Yes, vans are a big part of our alignment work. Where possible arrive with your normal load on board, because ride height changes geometry readings. We align to manufacturer specification and give you a printed report you can keep for fleet records.
How long will my van be off the road for alignment?
Most four-wheel alignments take under an hour once on the ramp. We are open seven days, so many Cricklewood trade drivers book early morning or Sunday slots to avoid losing paid working hours during the week.
My van eats front tyres on the A5 run, is that alignment?
Very likely. Rapid or uneven front wear on a loaded van almost always points to toe being out, often after a Broadway pothole strike. Hawk Eye cameras measure the exact error so we correct the cause rather than just fitting more tyres.
