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.

"Caught in a real bind, puncture in my skoda Octavia in mooncoin, pumped it up enough to get me to a garage in fiddown who were very helpful but unfortunately just didn't have the right size tire for me, they did however suggest I contact Geraghtys for their call out tire replacement service, which I did and after a shorter wait than I was expecting Anthony called out with the van and swapped out the tire quick and easy in two min, very friendly and easy to deal with, call out price wasn't cheap but it's appropriate for the level of emergency when you're caught with no tire and no spare and no way out, beats a tow truck every day of the week."
