Precision Wheel Balancing & Alignment Services
Wheel balancing and alignment are crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s performance and safety. Well-balanced wheels ensure a smoother ride and even tyre wear, while proper wheel alignment helps maintain optimal contact with the road. Whether you’re installing new tyres or rotating existing ones, these car services are crucial for optimal driving efficiency.
Our Wheel Balancing and Alignment Procedure
Ignoring wheel balancing and alignment can lead to issues that affect your driving experience and vehicle efficiency. But here are some signs you need to watch out:
- Reduced Fuel Efficiency
- Uneven Tyre Wear
- Excessive Vibrations at Higher Speeds
- Misaligned Steering Wheel
- Loss of Handling & Stability
- Vehicle Dragging to one side of the road
We use the latest tools and techniques to ensure accurate wheel balancing and alignment. Your wheels are placed on a high-precision balancing machine to determine the weight imbalances. After finding out the imbalance, we attach small weights to ensure even weight distribution to prevent vibrations and tyre damage.
Wheel alignment involves measuring and adjusting your wheel angles to meet manufacturer specifications, which our experienced technicians perform. Proper alignment enhances control, stability, and tyre longevity.

How do I know if my wheels need balancing?
There are common signs of unbalanced wheels, including vibrations in the steering wheel, increased noise while driving, especially at higher speeds, and uneven tyre wear. If you notice any of these, it is time for wheel balancing.
How long does wheel balancing and alignment take?
Usually, a wheel balancing session takes 30-45 minutes, and wheel alignment can take 45- 60 minutes, depending on the condition of your vehicle’s suspension and alignment requirements.
What are the symptoms of bad wheel alignment?
If your car drags you to one side of the road, the steering wheel is off-centre, tyres wear out unevenly, or your handling is unstable, these are the major symptoms of a bad wheel alignment.
How often should I get my wheels balanced and aligned?
We recommend you check the wheel balancing and alignment every 10,000 to 15,000 km or when installing new tyres. Wheel alignment must be done at least once a year or whenever you notice any issues.
Can driving with unbalanced wheels or misalignment damage my car?
Definitely! Driving with unbalanced or misaligned wheels for a long time may lead to excessive tyre wear, poor fuel economy, suspension strain and steering issues, affecting your vehicle’s overall safety and performance.
