Wheel Alignment in Gunnersbury
Straightforward wheel alignment for drivers in Gunnersbury and nearby. Transparent pricing, qualified technicians and quality parts.
Parking in Gunnersbury often means squeezing into a tight kerbside space off the A315 Chiswick High Road, and every mounted kerb or scuffed alloy nudges your wheel angles a little further out. Our Hawk Eye system uses high-definition cameras to measure every wheel precisely and reset the geometry to manufacturer specification.
What wheel alignment in Gunnersbury involves
Few alignment systems match Hawk Eye for accuracy. It uses HD digital cameras and fine measuring equipment to capture the exact angle and position of each wheel, revealing tiny errors that then get dialled back to the maker's figures with confidence. The whole process is set out on our wheel alignment page.
Tight parking, kerbed wheels, drifting alignment
Streets around Gunnersbury station fill up fast, so parallel parking against high kerbs is a daily fact of life, and repeated low-speed kerb contact is one of the most common causes of alignment drift we see. Add the potholes around the Chiswick Roundabout gyratory and it does not take long before the steering sits off centre and the front tyres start wearing on one edge. Hawk Eye picks up even small discrepancies and lets us correct them exactly.
A driver kerbs a front wheel reversing into a space near Gunnersbury Park and notices over the following week that the car pulls gently left on the A406. We put it on the Hawk Eye rig, show the before readings on screen, correct each angle to specification and road test it, normally within the hour.
While the car is with us we can take care of Hunter 4-wheel alignment in the same visit.

Local tip for Gunnersbury drivers: After any solid kerb strike while parking, run your hand across the inside edge of the front tyres every few weeks. Alignment drift almost always shows up there first, long before you feel anything through the steering wheel.
Your wheel alignment questions, answered
What are the signs my Gunnersbury car needs alignment?
The classics are the car pulling to one side on a straight road like the A4, a steering wheel that sits off centre, and tyres wearing faster on one edge. Any of these after kerbing a wheel while parking is worth a check.
How often should I have alignment checked if I park on the street?
For cars parked kerbside around Gunnersbury we suggest a check once a year, or straight away after a hard kerb or pothole strike. It is far cheaper than replacing tyres that have worn out early on one shoulder.
Do I need to book, and how long does Hawk Eye alignment take?
A call ahead on 020 3886 2355 secures a slot, and the measurement and adjustment usually take under an hour. We are open 7 days, so plenty of Gunnersbury drivers come up the A406 at the weekend.
