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 was attending a work event in Waterford on Wednesday and while driving back to Dublin I got a warning on my car saying “loss of pressure detected.” I was really worried beinf so far from home so I pulled in to Tom Geraghty Tyres to get it checked. A lad called Anthony helped me straight away, checked the pressure in all my tyres, and made sure everything was safe before sending me on my way. I’m honestly so grateful for his kindness and quick help, it really put my mind at ease. Thank you so much again, Anthony. I really appreciate it. Highly recommend!"
