Wheel Balancing

Wheels that are not balanced or are out of balance generally produce a vibration that is uncomfortable to drive in and results in premature wearing of suspension and steering components, rotating parts and tyres. Correctly balanced wheels help to eliminate vibration and avoid premature wear caused by an imbalance in the rotating wheel and tyre assembly.
The first sign that your wheels may be out of balance is when your steering wheel starts to wobble above a certain speed. The light weight of modern cars means that they don't dampen down the vibrations caused by spinning wheels in the way that older, heavier vehicles could. A driver may not always sense an imbalance at the steering wheel. It could be present but dampened by the vehicle weight. This is why balancing is equally important for both front and rear wheels.

Wheel Alignment

Incorrect wheel alignment can result in rapid irregular tyre wear and can even affect the handling and safety of the vehicle. Our Bluetooth Pro Wheel Aligner features 6 sensor CCD four wheel alignment technology and is fully wireless providing a more accurate analysis and alignment, including Camber, Caster, Thrust Line, Toe in and Toe out. Four wheel adjustments can be made once the four wheel alignment check is carried out.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an electronic tyre safety feature designed to monitor the air pressure inside pneumatic tyres on vehicles. If your car has a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) the yellow symbol it may indicate that you have a loss of air pressure in one of your tyres. We can check your tyre pressures when this symbol appears.
If your vehicles Tyre Pressure Monitoring System becomes faulty we can replace and repair faulty TPMS sensor. Should you require a new TPMS sensor, we can supply a cost-effective replacement sensor which clones your existing settings for a fraction of the price of a dealership replacement.

Tyre Pressures

The manufacturer of your vehicle specifies the suitable pressure, and it is your responsibility to make sure that the pressure is checked and corrected on a regular basis, at least every couple of weeks. There are three main reasons why maintaining the right tyre pressure is important.

The first is safety. Tyres that are under inflated can overheat, and over inflated tyres can lead to poor vehicle handling on the road and waer the outside of the tyres very quickly. The second reason is economy. Over or under inflated tyres suffer more damage than those with the correct pressure and need to be replaced more regularly. Vehicles with under-inflated tyres have increased rolling resistance that require more fuel to maintain the same speed.
The third reason for maintaining the correct tyre pressure is good for the environment. Correct tyre pressures help to maintain optimum fuel efficiency. This can equate to lower Co2 emissions coming from your vehicle than those with incorrect tyre pressures and that has to be good for the environment.
