MINI Wheel Alignment

Have you considered the condition of your tyres lately?

Potholes, unexpected kerbs and everyday road surprises can affect your MINI's wheel alignment. If not corrected to the manufacturer’s specifications, this can lead to accelerated tyre wear.

At Sytner MINI, we are delighted to offer a Complimentary Wheel Alignment Check at your local Sytner Retailer. Plus, one of our BMW Technicians will carry out a full Visual Health Check and treat your MINI to a complimentary wash & vacuum.

What to expect

When you arrive at your local Sytner MINI Retaier you can expect a smooth and professional experience from the moment you pull in. A service advisor will greet you, confirm your booking, and briefly discuss anything you’ve noticed—such as uneven tyre wear or the car pulling to one side. Your vehicle will then be inspected using MINI's advanced alignment equipment, which measures camber, caster, and toe with high precision to ensure everything matches the manufacturer’s exact specifications. While the technicians carry out the assessment, you’ll usually be invited to relax in the customer lounge. Once complete, the advisor will review the results with you, explain any adjustments made, and highlight anything that may need future attention, ensuring you leave with a safer, smoother, and more efficient drive.
