Ventura CA Damage-Free Wheel Alignment Service
ABC Auto Care is one of only a few auto repair shops offering a wheel alignment service in Ventura using the HawkEye Elite® Alignment System from Hunter Engineering. When it comes to alignment technology, most systems used at other wheel alignment shops in Ventura do not even come close to matching the power of our shop's HawkEye Elite® equipment. The HawkEye Elite® is unequaled when it comes to doing wheel alignments on the intricate components of today's modern vehicles being driven around the Ventura area. The HawkEye Elite® uses cameras that are mounted precisely to measure locations and orientations of targets that are mounted on our client's wheels using another incredible technology developed by Hunter known as QuickGrip® adaptors.
Featuring arms that are spring-loaded for optimal gripping of tires, these adaptors minimize rim damage by eliminating metal-to-metal contact on our Ventura area clients' valuable rims. Additionally, the fact that the results can be viewed in as little as 70 seconds, helps to make our Ventura shop's overall efficiency rating one of the very best in the entire Ventura County area, getting our clients and their vehicles back on the road as quickly as possible.
