Wheel Alignment in Park Royal
Your local RAC & AA approved specialist for wheel alignment in Park Royal. Transparent pricing, qualified technicians and quality parts.
Wheels take a battering in Park Royal: kerbed against loading bays, bumped up verges outside trade counters, thumped through the scarred surface of the Hanger Lane gyratory. Hawk Eye alignment uses high-definition cameras to measure every wheel angle precisely, and we correct them to manufacturer specification at our Abbey Road workshop.
What wheel alignment in Park Royal involves
Grip is what keeps a car on the road in the wet, and a misaligned wheel is never using its full contact patch. Correct alignment puts the whole tread back on the tarmac, which shortens stopping distances and keeps the car settled under braking. We use the Hawk Eye HD camera system to measure the fault before we correct it. There is more on how we do the job, and what it costs, on our Wheel Alignment page.
Kerbed wheels are a Park Royal habit
Tight manoeuvring is a fact of life on the estate. Squeezing into yards off Abbey Road, mounting kerbs to let an artic pass and clipping raised ironwork on the gyratory all nudge camber and toe away from specification a fraction at a time. You rarely feel the moment it happens, but the evidence shows up as one tyre edge wearing fast and a steering wheel that no longer sits straight on the A40.
A driver kerbs a front wheel turning into a unit off Abbey Road and afterwards the car tracks slightly left on the North Circular. We put it on the Hawk Eye rig, the cameras read every angle in minutes, and we correct exactly what is out rather than guessing, with the readings shown before and after.
While the car is with us we can take care of gearbox repairs in the same visit.

Local tip for Park Royal drivers: After any hard kerb strike, find a straight, level stretch and check whether the steering wheel sits centred at speed. Off centre by even a few degrees usually means the geometry has shifted and tyres are already wearing unevenly.
Your wheel alignment questions, answered
What are the signs my alignment is out after kerbing a wheel?
The classic three are the car pulling gently to one side, the steering wheel sitting off centre on a straight road, and one tyre edge wearing faster than the rest. Any of these after a kerb or pothole strike around the estate is worth a Hawk Eye check.
Can I wait at the workshop while the alignment is done?
Yes. The Hawk Eye cameras measure all four wheels quickly, so a straightforward alignment is done while you wait at Abbey Road. We are in the core of the estate, so many local drivers walk back to work and collect later the same day.
Will you show me what was actually corrected?
Always. Hawk Eye records the position of every wheel before and after adjustment, so you see exactly which angles were out and by how much. You are never asked to take the correction on trust.
