In Newburgh, NY we've had our share of winter and as the area begins its thaw and moves into spring, we're all going to notice that the roads are going to be a bit bumpier and uneven. This happens in the summer as conditions cause changes in the ground and road surfaces to contract and expand, but also with enough wear and tear, our city streets, nearby highways, and thruways will also see their share of potholes. We're all going to do our best to avoid hitting these because they can range from a minor inconvenience to your smooth drive, to deeper ones actually causing vehicle damage. That's why here at United Chevrolet Cadillac, we're telling drivers to make sure to be alert, but also if you need services as a result of hitting a pothole, we're able to help!
If you go over a pothole, it can set a few things out of balance on your vehicle if it's a particularly severe one, and you weren't able to avoid it or see it while driving at a cruising speed. This includes possibly getting your vehicle out of alignment as it can shift the way that your tires and wheels touch the road which will lead to a ride that isn't as smooth as you'd like, a steering wheel that pulls you in a different direction, and other issues commonly associated with the need for an alignment. If you're sensing any of these things happening to your vehicle after driving over a pothole, make an appointment with us because getting that fixed is the best course of action.
We are able to bring any vehicle into alignment and use the right tools for every job so all parts of the wheel are hitting the road evenly and at the right angles.
Other types of damage that can happen from a pothole includes a puncture or general tire damage. If you have had this, or think your tires might have been impacted, we can also inspect them as well and make sure you're still good for driving on the roads. We can also help connect you to the right resources for auto body damage or check on other vehicle parts to ensure everything is intact for you to continue driving without issue.
