Wasilla Roads Are Hard on Your Alignment
Alaska’s backroads, potholes, and spring frost heaves do real damage to the way your wheels sit under your car.
One hard hit in a Glenn Highway pothole or a washed-out stretch of the Knik-Goose Bay can knock your alignment out of spec in a single drive. Most people don’t notice it right away — the car still drives, the steering still turns — but the angles are off, and your tires start paying for it a little at a time.
An alignment isn’t about your tires being new or old. It’s about the geometry — the precise angles your wheels are set to. When those angles drift, your vehicle fights you on the road and wears itself out faster than it should.
Signs You Need a Wheel Alignment
-
Your vehicle pulls or drifts to one side on a straight, level road
-
Your steering wheel is crooked when you’re driving straight - Your tires are wearing unevenly — worn on one edge, or feathered
-
You feel a vibration or wandering in the steering at highway speed
-
You just hit a deep pothole or curb and something feels different
-
You recently had suspension or steering work done

Already Had Suspension or Steering Work? You Need an Alignment
Any time the parts that hold your wheels in place get touched — control arms, tie rods, struts, ball joints, a steering rack — your alignment changes. That’s not a maybe; it’s physics. If you’ve had steering or suspension work done (here or anywhere), the alignment has to be reset afterward, or the new parts wear in crooked and you lose the benefit of the repair.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

5-Star Review
Mike was extremely patient; walking me through every little thing and making me feel relaxed. He walked me through what I really needed and I left with an amazing quote. He is an amazing mechanic and is for the people. His wife is also really kind, she offered me a beverage and provided comfort, assuring I was in the right place. Mike did a thorough diagnostics test and offered to test ride afterward. Perpetual Motion bought me the best thing of all time: peace of mind. Don't hesitate!

5-Star Review
After having issue after issue with the service department at wasilla dodge. I was in desperate need of a trustworthy mechanic. Mike was super respectful and honest! He took my truck and put it on the lift and test drove it three different times. He figured out what the issue was in the last few hours of his inspection. And called me saying he only felt comfortable charging me for an hour worth of work. I am very grateful and will be using mike at perpetual as my new shop. I have already recommended him to everyone I know!

Tire Alignment in Wasilla — Common Questions
How do I know if I need an alignment?
If your car pulls to one side, your steering wheel sits crooked when you’re going straight, or your tires are wearing on one edge, your alignment is likely out of spec. The honest answer is to let us measure it — it’s quick, and if your alignment is fine, we’ll tell you so.
Do you sell or install tires?
No — we focus on wheel alignment, not tire sales or mounting. If your alignment is off, we set your wheels back to your manufacturer’s spec so the tires you have wear evenly and last longer.
Do I need an alignment after suspension or steering repairs?
Yes. Any time those parts are replaced or adjusted, the alignment changes and needs to be reset to spec — otherwise the new parts wear in crooked.
Can you align older or import vehicles?
Yes. We work on domestic and import vehicles, older and newer — our equipment and our techs handle everything from pre-1996 cars to the latest models, and we set each one to its own factory spec.
