Expensive But Easily Broken

Your wheels are extremely well designed and manufactured to endure all you throw at them. But they are surprisingly easy to damage or completely ruin. An unexpected curb or grate can easily render your beautiful alloys as scarp.

Wheel Balancing

The Problem

As your wheels rotate any unbalanced weight is transmitted through your cars body reaching your steering wheel and in extreme cases your brake pedal and seats. These vibrations you feel are prematurely wearing your vehicles rubber mountings, bearings and mechanical joints.

The Fix

Bolted onto specialist balancing equipment which rotates your wheel at various speeds to determine where and how much weight the technician should attach so it spins true once more.

Laser Wheel Alignment

The Problem

Your car wheels don’t all just face fully forward. Your vehicles manufacturer recommends your front wheels be set to either ’toe in’ or ’toe out’. This really does mean your two front wheels are aligned to both face slightly inwards or outwards. This actually gives our steering that wonderful feed back indicating what our front wheels are actually doing.

• Car constantly drives to one side that has to be corrected by your steering
• Poor road cornering
• Tyre Scrubbing

The Fix

Lasers are temporarily fixed to all your cars wheels along with a series of mirrors that all culminate on 2 scales. The mechanic can now adjust the alignment with your track rod ends. Once this is done your car will feel more stable on the roads, corner much better and safer and your steering wheel will return to it’s center point upon cornering once more.
