STAFF at a car care and motorcycle maintenance centre in Bristol are asking motorists to check their vehicles' wheel alignment to help save them money on fuel costs (March 2019).
Autoserv Car & Bike on Two Mile Hill Road in Kingswood says misaligned wheels require more energy to turn, which can increase fuel consumption by between 3% and 3.5%.
Director of the company, Steve White said: "Tyre and wheel misalignment could cost UK motorists up to £100 million in additional fuel costs alone.
"Following the winter, misalignment is more likely to develop as vehicles bump into curbs due to slippery road surfaces.
"We are warning motorists that they are burning money and taking unnecessary risks by not ensuring their vehicles' wheels are aligned properly."
Autoserv Car & Bike specialises in providing customers with tyres, exhausts, batteries, MOTs, fixed price servicing and vehicle repair work.
Steve added: "The impact from hitting a bump or a curb can knock wheels out of alignment, even damaging suspension components if severe, no matter how old or new the vehicle may be.
"If a motorist continues to drive the vehicle without the wheels being correctly aligned, they will increase tyre wear and decrease fuel efficiency."
