Firstly, this only applies to automatic transmissions, and secondly, some modern vehicles don’t have dipsticks or dipstick tubes to check and add transmission fluid.

Alignment is the position of your wheels in relation to your vehicle and how they interact with the road. When your vehicle is properly aligned, your wheels will point in the same direction as the vehicle. To maintain proper control of your car, you must keep your wheels in proper alignment. Otherwise, steering will become difficult, your tires will wear unevenly and your fuel economy will decrease.

We are new to the area and needed a shop to install some lights for our custom vehicle. Crown Car Care was recommended, so we went to the Palm City location. They were awesome and were able to get us in the very next day! Buddy took care of us, and he was great! Thank you Buddy for a positive experience and getting the job done so quickly. This is a family owned business, and they really make you feel apart of their family. We will be back for sure! Thank you to the owners, who I met, for the great service and such a dedicated Team!
