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 stopped by because I had a problem with a tire. I didn't have to wait long and received immediate service. They inspected all four tires, inflated them, and reset the vehicle monitor. As someone unfamiliar with the car's functions and usage since it was a rental, I was very grateful. Of course, they didn't charge me any fees either. I deeply appreciate the kind and prompt service."

"Grand place but they couldn't take off my lock nut cause it was aftermarket, said I need to get them welded off. I just bought the key myself and didn't need a welder haha. A tire centre really should be able to take off ANY lock nut"
