Tyres & Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment — also known as wheel geometry — refers to the positioning of your four tyres relative to your vehicle's axis. When this balance is disturbed, the effects are quickly felt: the steering wheel pulls to one side, tyres wear unevenly, fuel consumption rises and safety is compromised. At Pneu Station, we offer two services on a professional 4-wheel alignment bench: 3D alignment (1 angle, toe) at €29.90 for a quick adjustment, or full geometry (3 angles × 4 wheels: camber, caster, toe) at €69.90 for an in-depth check, at our garages in Roubaix and Béthune-Verquin.

The signs of poor wheel alignment are often subtle at first, but worsen quickly. Uneven tyre wear (inner or outer edge more worn), an unstable steering that drifts on a straight road, vibrations through the wheel at motorway speeds, or unexplained increased fuel consumption are all indicators that an alignment check is needed. A misalignment of just a few millimetres can reduce tyre life by 30 to 50% — potentially hundreds of pounds in avoidable costs.

On the roads of Hauts-de-France — potholes around Roubaix, degraded surfaces in the Lille metropolitan area, industrial roads around Béthune — misalignments are common and are often caused by a simple kerb strike or speed bump. Our technicians recommend a wheel alignment check every 20,000 to 30,000 km, with every tyre change, or routinely after any significant impact.

Our service includes a full 4-wheel diagnostic on an alignment bench, precise adjustment of camber, caster and toe, as well as a printed before/after report so you can see the corrections made. The job takes around 30 to 45 minutes — no need to leave your vehicle all day. All makes of vehicle accepted, Monday to Saturday in Roubaix and Béthune-Verquin.

Our two garages carry out wheel alignment and geometry adjustments for motorists throughout Nord-Pas-de-Calais. In Roubaix, our workshop serves the Lille metropolitan area. In Béthune-Verquin, we cover the mining basin and the Artois region.

The roads of the Nord — with their potholes, speed bumps and worn kerbs — frequently cause misalignments. Regular checks at Pneu Station help you avoid premature tyre wear and the costs that come with it.
