Balancing only, no alignment
Feeling a shake through the steering wheel at speed? Our car wheel balancing service checks the weight distribution of each wheel and tyre assembly. Book online or call our Coventry Road garage.
Straight answers
No guesswork: this is exactly how each part of this service works right now.
Wheel balancing
Book online and pay at the garage.
Balancing with fitting
Add per wheel when booking tyre fitting.
Wheel alignment
Not offered at our garage.
The wheel is removed and old weights are checked or removed.
The machine spins the wheel and finds where it is heavier.
Small clip-on or stick-on weights are fitted at the exact points needed.
The wheel is spun again to confirm, then refitted to the car.
Vibration has more than one possible cause, so these are signs to get checked rather than proof of a balancing problem.
Tyre balancing and wheel balancing describe the same service: balancing the tyre and wheel together as an assembly. We use a balancing machine and add weights where needed; this does not adjust wheel alignment.
Every time a tyre is removed and refitted, the weight around the wheel changes. That is why we offer balancing per wheel with every fitting. Balancing after a tyre change helps the new tyre wear evenly and keeps the drive smooth.
If the wheel is bent, the tyre is damaged, or the vibration comes from suspension, brakes or steering parts, balancing alone will not cure it. We will tell you if we see something that suggests another cause.
No. We only offer wheel balancing. If your car pulls to one side, you may need alignment from a garage that offers it.
Whenever a tyre is fitted, and whenever you notice new vibration. There is no fixed mileage that suits every car.
Yes. Use the Book wheel balancing button to choose a time. Payment is taken at the garage.
If the vibration is caused by an unbalanced wheel, yes. Other causes need different work; we will tell you what we find.
