Wheel Alignment in Brisbane
A wheel alignment is a precise mechanical adjustment of your vehicle’s suspension — the parts that connect your car to its wheels — so each wheel sits at the correct angle to the road and to each other. Memmotts Automotive has been keeping Brisbane cars tracking straight since 1956. We offer wheel alignment at both our northside workshops in Windsor and Grange, for all makes and models, from everyday runabouts to European and high-performance vehicles.
Service detailWhat’s included
Every wheel alignment at Memmotts uses modern, laser-guided alignment equipment for pinpoint accuracy. Our technicians measure and adjust the three key angles that determine how your wheels meet the road, then set them back to the manufacturer’s specifications for your vehicle.
- Camber — the inward or outward tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front
- Toe — whether the wheels point slightly in or out when viewed from above
- Caster — the steering axis angle that affects stability and steering feel
- A check of the suspension and steering components that influence alignment
- Adjustment back to your manufacturer’s alignment specifications
Getting these angles right protects your tyres from premature wear, reduces rolling resistance so you use less fuel, and gives you better handling and braking — with no more pulling or vibration on the road. It’s one of the most cost-effective services you can book to extend the life of your tyres and keep your car driving the way it should.
Why usWhy choose Memmotts for wheel alignment
Memmotts Automotive has been a family-owned Brisbane mechanic since 1956, founded by Robert Memmott and now run by second-generation owner Ray Memmott. That’s decades of trusted, hands-on experience across everyday cars, high-performance vehicles and classics — with a genuine European specialty. We give honest advice: if your alignment is within spec, we’ll tell you, rather than selling you work you don’t need.
You’ll find us at two convenient northside workshops in Windsor and Grange, both using advanced laser-guided alignment machinery. As an RACQ Approved Inspection Station and RACQ member, we hold our workmanship to a standard you can rely on. Whatever you drive, our team gets your wheels tracking true.
What to watch forSigns you need a wheel alignment
Wheels can fall out of alignment gradually — from hitting a pothole or kerb, general wear, or after new tyres or suspension work. Book an alignment check if you notice any of these:
- Your vehicle pulls to the left or right
- Uneven or rapid tyre wear
- The steering wheel sits off-centre when driving straight
- Vibrations through the steering, or the car drifting
- Squealing tyres when turning
Catching these early means a simple adjustment rather than a set of prematurely worn tyres.

FAQsWheel alignment FAQs
How often should I get a wheel alignment?
As a general guide, it’s worth having your alignment checked around once a year, or whenever you fit new tyres. You should also book a check straight away if you’ve hit a solid pothole or kerb, or if you notice pulling, vibration or uneven tyre wear.
What’s the difference between wheel alignment and wheel balancing?
Alignment adjusts the angles of your suspension so the wheels sit correctly relative to the road and each other. Balancing corrects tiny weight differences around a wheel and tyre so it spins smoothly. They fix different problems — your car may need one, the other, or both.
Do you do wheel alignments for European vehicles?
Yes. Memmotts services all makes and models with a genuine European specialty, from everyday cars to high-performance and classic vehicles. Our laser-guided equipment lets us set each vehicle to its manufacturer’s specifications.
Will a wheel alignment save me money?
It can. Correct alignment helps you avoid premature tyre replacements and reduces rolling resistance, which improves fuel efficiency. It’s one of the more affordable services that protects a much more expensive set of tyres.
Which workshop should I book for a wheel alignment?
We offer wheel alignment at both our northside Brisbane workshops — Windsor (Unit 1, 14 Cox Road) and Grange (142 Days Road). Choose whichever is more convenient for you and book online, or call the workshop directly.
