Tyre Balancing and Alignment
Accurate Tyre Balancing & Alignment Services
Two essential maintenance services are tyre balancing and alignment. Tyre balancing is necessary to ensure your tyres wear evenly and your car is smooth. Regular balancing is also required after installing new tyres or rotating the existing ones. Wheel alignment helps your tyres maintain proper connection and contact with the road.
Our Tyre Balancing and Alignment Procedure
When it comes to vehicle maintenance, many tend to ignore these, thinking they don’t have much effect on your vehicle. But here are some signs that you need for tyre balancing or alignment,
- Uneven Tyre Wear
- Decreased Fuel Economy
- Pulling To One Side When Driving
- Uncontrollable Vibrations at High Speeds
- Loss Of Control and Stability
- Crooked Steering Wheel When Driving Straight
We use advanced tools and techniques to ensure precise tyre balancing and alignment. For tyre balancing, we place your tyre and wheels on a specific machine that spins them to determine if there is any imbalance. If necessary, we attach small weights to fix the imbalance. For alignment, we measure and adjust the wheel angles to bring them to the proper alignment as per the manufacturer’s specifications. If the tyres and wheels are balanced and aligned correctly, they last longer than expected.
Wheel balancing and alignment ensure safe handling, reducing the risk of accidents on the road. Your car starts to move effectively and efficiently, improving fuel economy and saving money on fuel. Balanced tyres and wheels reduce vibrations, giving you a smoother and more comfortable driving experience.

What causes tyres to misalign?
Tyres can become out of alignment when the vehicle regularly hits potholes or curbs or sometimes because of general damage to suspension parts.
What happens if one doesn’t get their tyres aligned?
If the misalignment exists for a long time, it can lead to uneven damage, which reduces handling and affects the suspension system.
Can misalignment affect fuel economy?
Yes! Wheels that are not appropriately aligned make your vehicle work harder, resulting in fuel overconsumption.
How often should the wheels and tyres get balanced or aligned?
We suggest you have them checked every 12000 to 15000 kilometres or when you notice any signs of problems.
What are the signs to know your tyres need balancing or alignment?
If you feel your vehicle is shaking or vibrating while driving on a straight road, especially at high speeds.
