Import Wheel Alignments in Minneapolis, MN & Surrounding Areas

When it comes to the control and safety of your vehicle, your wheels have a lot riding on them. Proper wheel alignment not only helps ensure that your tires are wearing evenly but also gives you optimal control of your vehicle. When it comes to wheel alignments in Minneapolis, there is nobody that does it better than Uptown Imports.

How Can I Tell If My Wheels Are
Out of Alignment?

It may be difficult to sense a slight misalignment, but when it comes to alignment it is easy to feel when your drivability is off the mark. Classic signs that your vehicle is in need of alignment include pulling to the right or left or a steering wheel that is off-center. If you are noticing either of these issues, Uptown Imports can help. Our team of experts will provide your vehicle with the perfect alignment, allowing you to feel in control and confident the moment you leave our parking lot.

How Does Alignment Affect My Tires?

When you invest in a new set of tires, you want to make sure that they last as long as possible. While there are some factors, including stray debris and nails, that you can’t control, alignment is something you can. When wheels are out of alignment, it causes uneven wear on your tires, causing you to purchase tires before you planned to. Alignments are a fast and inexpensive way to avoid that purchase.

What Affects Wheel Alignment?

Over time, thanks to weight and pressure, your vehicle’s wheel will naturally shift and move out of alignment. That is why most mechanics suggest that you have your wheels aligned every two or three years. However, there are factors that will cause you to need an alignment sooner rather than later.

Aside from your regular schedule alignments, you should have your alignment checked anytime you have work done or your suspension checked, get new tires, or are involved in an accident. It is also a good idea to have your alignment checked after running over a speed bump too fast or hitting a curb as both can knock your car out of alignment.

Whether it is time for a regularly scheduled alignment, or you suspect yours may be in need of repair, Uptown Imports is here to help. As the premier auto repair shop in Minneapolis, you can always trust your vehicle is in the best hands with our team of experts. Call us today to schedule your next appointment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m traveling cross country and my CarPlay was not working. I decided to stop in at uptown imports since they service Volvos. Without a appointment,John was more than accommodating in coming out and looking at my problem. He figured it out quickly, which was a big help to me. I highly recommend Uptown Imports for whatever your car’s issue might be!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I struggled to find a reliable shop for my Mercedes Benz. I wanted to make sure I could bring my car somewhere that I wouldn’t have to return to every three months or feel like I was getting ripped off like at the last shop I went to. Ever since I started bringing my car here, I haven’t gone anywhere else and I haven’t had any issues for a long time.

They were also very accommodating when I needed to drop off my car overnight. I really appreciate the customer service, especially Danna. She helped me process my payment over the phone so I didn’t have to change anything in my schedule.

Thank you all! I appreciate the great service and will see you again in a few months since I’ll likely need my brake pads changed soon. 🚗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A lovely shop with friendly staff and very conversational.  I appreciated the time that mechanic Clayton took to discuss further vehicle care and maintenance. I've found my local go-to shop for sure!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m not sure I would recommend bringing your car to this establishment. I was having a lot of problems with my car, which all I got fixed here. I’ve given them a lot of my hard earned money, and they treated me kindly as long as that was the case. I sent my car there to get a diagnostic test, and decided not to get it fixed again because the car wasn’t worth the cost of the repairs. When I received my car back it was not put back together as it was. There was a huge piece of the undercarriage covering sitting in the back seat, getting grime and grease all over the seats. Also causing the remaining covering under the car to be dragging on the ground. Looked under the hood and there were cables unplugged, and random parts just sitting on top. After being a customer of their’s for at least a year, I expected better treatment of my car.  It has made selling it more difficult. Also not sure they do very thorough inspections, because I had the same mechanical issue happen after taking it there to get it fixed initially. They said it was caused by something else the second time, would’t guarantee the parts. Dana at the front desk is lovely, she was always very kind during my visits.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My car completely broke down on the side of the road with a bad alternator & Uptown Imports saved the day. Even though it was well past closing AND the day before a holiday John, the owner, was leaving as my tow truck pulled in and he re-opened his garage for me to bring my car in (as it was not drivable). This customer service only adds to the other great experiences I've had at Uptown in the last couple years. The team there has done magnificent work on my car, the reports they send you home with are invaluable for planning any remaining jobs needing to be done & Dana at the front desk is extremely helpful & able to answer all of your questions. I'm really glad I found Uptown Imports when I moved to Northeast.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brought my Q5 here to get my breaks serviced after receiving feedback from a Jiffy Lube that my break pads were a hazard and needed to be replaced.

Turns out they didn't.

Thank you to Dana, for being honest & so understanding. Definitely will be bringing my car here when I actually need to have my car serviced. It's hard to find reliable and trustworthy businesses, Uptown Imports is one of the few left!
