Automotive Wheel Alignment Service Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2019 - 2027

Wheel alignment is a necessary process to be conducted at a specific time interval, in order to achieve high performance and efficiency of vehicles and vehicle brake components. In wheel alignment, all the wheels are checked for camber, caster, toe, and suspension height. Vehicle wheels undergo wear and withstand various bumps and vibration; consequently, the tires lose their alignment. Misaligned wheels lead to faster tire and brake pad wear, noise, vibration, thereby hampering the operation of the vehicle.

Vehicle manufacturers suggest wheel alignment to be carried out every six months or after every 10,000 kilometers, whichever occurs first. This, in turn, is driving the global automotive wheel alignment service market. Moreover, increased tire life, increased lifespan of braking components, and noise- and vibration-free operation are advantages offered by periodic wheel alignment. This, in turn, drives the global automotive wheel alignment service market. The procedure to align the wheels is inexpensive and requires less time and hence, consumers do not avoid postpone undertaking this procedure. Rising demand for vehicles across the globe is fueling the demand for global wheel alignment service.

The global automotive wheel alignment service market can be segmented based on vehicle type, service provider, and region.
