Frequently asked questions

No, it's not the same.

Alignment involves setting the wheels on each axle in parallel, and the axles parallel to each other, adjusting wheel angles so that the car steering does not drift to one side, as well as ensuring driver comfort and good grip for the tyres, thus guaranteeing safety at the wheel.

Balancing is a mechanical process of adjusting the wheels to prevent vehicle vibration at any speed, no matter what type of driving is used.

The modern car is built for comfort, performance and handling. In order to achieve and maintain the best ride possible, the steering and suspension needs to be measured and adjusted within the motor manufacturer’s specifications. This can only be done by measuring all four wheels and having a proper full four wheel alignment measurement.

Wheel alignment can be affected by hitting the kurb or a large pothole in the road or travelling regularly on gravel roads. If alignment is out, it can cause excessive wear to your tyres and problems with steering or suspension.

"I went in to see if the noise from my brakes were an immediate danger and getting a price for fixing it. The manager explained what the noise is and that it was safe, but would not go away by itself. They could have been less honest and might have gotten a quick sale but this will make me a long term customer once the noise annoys me or the next set of tyres/brakes I need."

Bakhe Simelane Young - December 16, 2025

"I went in to have my brakes checked because they were squeaking and assumed I’d need to replace the brake pads. Ace Tyres took the time to thoroughly inspect the car and advised that new brakes weren’t necessary. They even explained how to fix the squeak—without charging me a cent. Honest, trustworthy guys. I’d gladly take my car back to them when something actually needs repairing."
