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.
FIRST STOP - Tallaght customer reviews
"Went in today thinking I’d need my tyre replaced, as I’d had a tyre plugged for a puncture some months back by an emergency call out service, and it had recently started leaking again. They checked out my tyres and said they were all in good shape, and were able to sort me out with a sturdier repair job. All done and dusted in no time!"
"Great service from fine young man yesterday when I thought I had puncture. Highly recommend this business."
