What is a Wheel Alignment?
Put simply, wheel alignment is the science of precisely measuring and then positioning the wheels on your car to ensure the least amount of wear to your tyres. When correctly set it will significantly extend the life of your tyres, your car also should handle better, be safer to drive and enjoy greater fuel economy.
When do I need a Wheel Alignment?
 If your steering wheel isn't straight or your car pulls to either side or wanders on straight roads.
 After an encounter with a particularly nasty pothole or kerb.
 When you replace your tyres.
 We recommend a wheel alignment twice a year to ensure your vehicle's safety, to improve handling and to help maximize the life of your tyres.

Wheel Balancing
A tyre is out of balance when one section of the tyre is heavier than the others. A wheel balance redistributes weight around the tyre to extend the life of your tyres, increase performance and increase your vehicle's safety. To balance a wheel one of our experts will mount it on a balancing machine that spins the tyre and wheel to locate the heavier part, which will then be compensated for by attaching a weight on the opposite side.
So simply, our quality wheel balancing ensures that your tyres and wheels do not have a heavy spot that may cause vibration and premature tyre wear. Unbalanced tyres may also cause accelerated wear of your shock absorbers, struts and other steering and suspension components.
When combined with a wheel alignment, balanced wheels ensure a smooth ride, maximum tread life and increased vehicle performance.

When Do I Need My Wheels Balanced?

If your steering wheel or vehicle is vibrating or your tyres are particularly noisy.
• When you are replacing your tyres.
• When you are rotating your tyres.
