Advanced Technology – Hunter CodeLink™
At Capital Tyres, we’ve invested in the Hunter CodeLink™ system, the most advanced alignment recalibration technology available.
Modern vehicles use an onboard computer and a steering angle sensor to control stability and safety features like ABS and traction control. After an alignment, this sensor must be recalibrated to ensure your car drives safely and as designed.
The Hunter CodeLink™ does this wirelessly and automatically, syncing your car’s computer with the final alignment angles for a factory-accurate finish. With Capital Tyres, you don’t just get an alignment – you get cutting-edge precision and peace of mind.
