Car pulling to one side, steering off-centre, or tyres wearing unevenly? Get a computerised wheel alignment, a fixed price before any work, and an honest check of whether you even need it. Free pickup across Dubai.
A customer came in frustrated that he was on his third set of front tyres in two years, sure something was badly wrong with the car. Nothing dramatic was. His alignment was out, almost certainly from the speed bumps and the broken stretch of road near his building, and it had been quietly scrubbing the inside edge off every front tyre he fitted. A AED 150 alignment would have saved him two premature tyre changes, easily a couple of thousand dirhams. He had been replacing the symptom and never fixing the cause.
That is what wheel alignment really is: cheap insurance for your expensive tyres. When the wheels are even slightly off the manufacturer's angles, the tyres drag instead of roll, wearing fast and pulling the car. In Dubai, where speed bumps and rough roads knock alignment out faster than most places, it matters more than the manual suggests. At FIXGO we do a precise computerised alignment, show you the before-and-after readings, and tell you honestly if your alignment is actually fine and the problem is something else. Fixed price, no upsell.

Final price depends on your car (larger SUVs and luxury/performance cars sit higher, and some need specialist equipment). The check is free if you proceed with the alignment, so you only pay when you actually need the work. We are typically below dealer pricing.
Read the symptoms
What your steering and tyres are telling you
Car pulls to one side
You have to hold the wheel slightly turned to drive straight, or the car drifts when you let go. The most common alignment sign, and easy to confirm on the rig.
Steering wheel off-centre
You are driving straight but the steering wheel sits crooked. Classic sign the alignment has shifted, often after hitting a pothole or kerb.
Uneven or fast tyre wear
One edge of a tyre wears faster than the rest, or the fronts wear out far quicker than they should. Misalignment is dragging the tyre instead of rolling it.
Other signs worth acting on: a steering wheel that vibrates (often a balancing issue rather than alignment), the car feeling vague or wandering at speed, or squealing tyres on turns. The cheapest time to fix alignment is before it has eaten a set of tyres, so if you have just hit a bad pothole or fitted new tyres, a quick check pays for itself.

The right alignment for your car
Two-wheel alignment
Adjusts the front wheels. Right for many cars with front-only adjustable suspension, and the most affordable option. We confirm what your car needs.
Four-wheel alignment
Adjusts all four wheels to the manufacturer's angles. The thorough choice, and necessary for many modern cars and SUVs where the rear is adjustable too.
Alignment plus balancing
Alignment fixes the angles, balancing fixes the weight distribution, two different things. If you have both a pull and a vibration, you likely need both. We tell you which.
Alignment and balancing get confused all the time. We diagnose which one your car actually needs, so you do not pay for both when one will fix it.
Dubai conditions
Why Dubai knocks your alignment out
Dubai is hard on wheel alignment, mostly because of what is under your tyres. The speed bumps are everywhere and often steep, and hitting one a little too fast jolts the steering and suspension enough to nudge the alignment over time. Add the broken, patched, and under-construction road surfaces, the sharp expansion joints, and the occasional deep pothole, and the wheels take a steady beating that gradually pushes them off the manufacturer's angles. Kerbing a wheel while parking does it instantly. Because of all this, alignment here drifts out faster than in a place with smooth roads, which is exactly why we recommend a quick check every 10,000 km or whenever you fit new tyres, hit a bad pothole, or notice the car pulling. It is a small cost that protects a much bigger one: your tyres.
Just out
The alignment shifts slightly after a bump or kerb. You may not feel it yet, but the tyres have started wearing unevenly. Cheapest point to correct it.
Noticeable pull
The car starts pulling or the wheel sits off-centre. The uneven tyre wear is now visible if you look. Still just an alignment job.
Tyre damage
Left long enough, the misalignment has scrubbed one edge of a tyre bald. Now you are buying a tyre plus the alignment.
Repeat tyre replacement
Ignored entirely, you keep replacing tyres every several months while the real cause sits uncorrected. The most expensive way to drive.
How it works
Our 6-step wheel alignment process
1
Book an alignment
WhatsApp, call, or the form on this page. Tell us if you have a pull, new tyres, or hit something.
2
Put it on the alignment rig
Computerised equipment measures your current wheel angles against the manufacturer's spec, and we show you the readings.
3
Honest recommendation
If the alignment is out we tell you by how much; if it is within spec we tell you that and look at what else could cause the symptom.
4
Your approval first
Nothing is adjusted or charged until you say yes.
5
Align to spec
We adjust the camber, caster, and toe to the manufacturer's figures, and recheck.
6
Before-and-after printout and warranty
You get the readings showing the correction, and our service warranty on the work.
Brands and equipment
40+ makes, aligned to spec
We align more than 40 makes, from everyday sedans to large SUVs and luxury performance cars. That includes the four-wheel adjustable setups on many modern cars, the heavy SUVs like the Patrol and Land Cruiser that need proper equipment, and the precise alignment specs that European and performance cars like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche demand. We use computerised alignment equipment and align to each car's exact manufacturer figures, then hand you the proof.

Case study
A Tahoe that ate its front tyres
A customer brought in a Chevrolet Tahoe convinced he had a suspension fault, because the front tyres kept wearing out on the inside edge while the rears were fine. He had already replaced the fronts twice. We put it on the rig and the story was clear: the front toe was well out of spec, dragging the inside edge of both tyres on every kilometre. The suspension was healthy. The alignment had simply been knocked out, most likely by Dubai's speed bumps and kerbs, and never corrected.
We aligned all four wheels to GM's spec, handed him the before-and-after printout showing the correction, and explained that his next set of tyres would now wear evenly. He had spent good money on two premature tyre changes for want of a cheap alignment. Fixing the cause, not the symptom, is the whole point.
FAQ
Wheel alignment Dubai, answered
A two-wheel alignment starts from AED 75, a four-wheel alignment is AED 150 to 300, and luxury or performance cars AED 300 to 600. The check is free if you proceed. See the table above.
The car pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits off-centre, or your tyres wear unevenly. If you have just hit a pothole or fitted new tyres, it is worth a check.
Every 10,000 km is a good rule here, sooner than cooler, smoother-roaded places, because Dubai's speed bumps and rough roads knock alignment out faster. Also after new tyres or any suspension work.
Alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels to stop pulling and uneven wear. Balancing corrects weight distribution to stop vibration. They are different jobs, and we tell you which you need.
It depends on your car. Many need a full four-wheel alignment, others only have front adjustment. We check what your car requires and do not oversell.
If misalignment is the cause, yes, that is exactly what it fixes. Correct alignment makes the tyre roll instead of drag, so it wears evenly and lasts far longer.
Usually alignment, but it can also be uneven tyre pressure, a worn tyre, or a brake issue. We check the alignment first and look further if it is within spec.
A two-wheel alignment is 30 to 45 minutes and a four-wheel alignment around an hour. We give you a firm time when you book.
Yes, it is the best time. Aligning when you fit new tyres protects your investment from day one and stops uneven wear before it starts.
We back the alignment work and give you the before-and-after printout as proof. If the car still pulls due to our alignment, we recheck it free.
