Professional 3D wheel alignment with the Hunter Hawkeye Elite system. Live adjustment feedback, printed before/after report. Standard alignment $169.99.
The Hunter Hawkeye Elite is the alignment system used by dealer service departments and independent shops. Tedious Auto Repair uses it for all alignment work in Chico.
Standard four-wheel alignment $169.99. Advanced alignment for lifted trucks, lowered cars, and European luxury at $199.99/hr. on alignment-related repairs.
Four high-resolution cameras mounted on the alignment rack measure all four wheels simultaneously. 3D imaging is more precise than older sensor-based systems and captures measurements that conventional equipment misses.
Camera positions are precisely calibrated. Measurements are taken at multiple points per wheel to calculate actual wheel position in three dimensions.
As the technician adjusts toe, camber, or caster, the Hawkeye Elite shows the change in real time on the screen. The technician sees the angle moving toward specification as the adjustment is made.
Live feedback eliminates the adjust-measure-readjust cycle of older systems. Adjustments can be made to exact specification in a single operation.
Every alignment produces a printed report showing all four wheel measurements before alignment, factory specifications, and measurements after alignment.
This report documents what was measured, what was adjusted, what was out of specification, and what could not be adjusted due to vehicle design limitations. You leave with a record of actual work performed.
The Hawkeye Elite contains specification databases for virtually all production vehicles. Factory toe, camber, and caster specifications for every year/make/model are available.
For modified vehicles, technicians can enter custom specifications based on vehicle configuration and intended use.
Lifted trucks, lowered cars, and vehicles with aftermarket suspension need alignment to custom specifications, not factory specs. The Hawkeye Elite handles custom spec entry and measures actual geometry precisely.
BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, and other European vehicles require precise alignment to tight specifications. The Hawkeye Elite measures the tight tolerances these vehicles require.
Any significant suspension repair changes alignment angles. Strut replacement, control arm replacement, tie rod replacement, or ball joint replacement should always be followed by alignment.
The Hawkeye Elite confirms all angles are correct after repair and documents the result.
Unusual tire wear patterns indicate alignment or suspension issues. The Hawkeye Elite documents current alignment angles, helping identify whether alignment is the cause.
