Wheel Alignment

Our wheel alignment service will give you the best driving experience. It helps your vehicle drive smoother, your tires last longer, and ultimately keeps your wheels pointed in the right direction. Just like how your shoes can wear, so can your tires, and if your wheels are not properly aligned, they can wear unevenly.

Even the smallest alignment issue can result in uneven tire wear. Once your wheels are properly aligned, it’s smooth cruising ahead, saving you tire wear, fuel, and ultimately...money.

Tire Repair

If your tire has a puncture or a small cut, our trained technicians can often repair it using a patch or plug. We will inspect your tire carefully to determine if it can be safely repaired with a more cost-effective approach. However, keep in mind that not all tire damage can be repaired.

Tire Installation

It's very important to perform regular tire maintenance, not just for the safety of your family but also to ensure a long lifespan for your vehicle. You are advised to always consult your owner's manual to find the proper tire size for the year, make, and model of your vehicle. When you purchase new tires, they have to be in complete sets or at least in matching groups of 2 on each axle. This extends the life of your new tires and keeps your tire wear even.

If you need help with your tire purchase, come to us! We can help you compare tire specifications and prices before buying to ensure you get the best new tires for your needs and budget.

Tire Balancing

Tire Balancing is important to increase the basic safety of your vehicle and extend the life of your tires. The technicians at our auto repair shop are here to help with all of your tire balancing and tire service needs.

Tire balancing happens each time you replace your vehicle's tires. Our technicians can assist in determining if your tires need to be balanced based on mileage and wear.

Tire Rotation

Your vehicle's weight is not distributed evenly to all four corners. If you leave all 4 tires just the way they are, some tires will eventually wear out faster than others. We know that a tire rotation is an essential part of making your tires last longer. The tire rotation process consists of moving your tires from front to back, moving them from one side of your vehicle to the other, or a combination of both.

Uneven tire wear could bring about unsatisfactory gas efficiency and poor performance, reduce the life of the new tire, and easily cause safety problems. Regular tire rotation helps eliminate premature tire wear and could save you a lot of money on new tires.

Tire Inspection

Tires need to be checked regularly for damage, such as stones, nails, or other sharp objects that may have penetrated them. They also need to be checked for bulges, tears, or cuts that might be the result of contact with road hazards. If you have doubts about the condition of your tires, it's best to have them inspected by our technicians.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Auto Tips and Videos: Alignment Inspection

January 1, 2016

Uneven tire wear, the auto pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Joliet motorists that their wheels may be out of alignment. When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor will check your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He’ll also compare your current alignment with the auto manufacturer’s settings. Your vehicle owner’s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in collision, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Joliet, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE service specialist carry out a critical alignment check.

Professional Auto Maintenance at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

December 24, 2015

When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Joliet motorists often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like a major collision, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your automobile can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, the team of automotive professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest a diagnostic examination every year or two.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Car Care Advice for Joliet Motorists: A Broken or Damaged Timing Belt

December 24, 2015

The timing belt rotates the cam shafts which open and close the valves that allow air, fuel, and exhaust to flow through the engine as it powers your auto. An old timing belt can lose a “tooth” in the belt allowing it to slip. The engine could stop or misfire. Timing belt slip – or a broken timing belt – can be disastrous on some engines. In “interference” engines, open valves can get in the way of the piston when the timing belt breaks or slips. When that happens one or more valves can be bent requiring pricey engine repairs. It is critical for Joliet auto owners to replace their timing belts as recommended in their owner’s manual to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. Ask the team of professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet if it’s time for your timing belt to be replaced.
