When you need this service
- The seasonal change is coming up: check the size and condition of the set you plan to fit.
- Vibration at a certain speed in the steering wheel or body: imbalance is one possible cause, not the only one.
- Vibration after changing tyres: tell us what work was done and when it started.
- Uneven wear: tyre pressure, the tyres, suspension and alignment may all need checking.
What the work includes
- Removing and fitting tyres on rims as part of the agreed job.
- Seasonal change: the operations depend on whether you have a separate set of rims.
- Wheel balancing to correct imbalance in the wheel and tyre assembly.
- Alignment is discussed separately if the car pulls to one side or the tyres wear unevenly.
Good to know
- Tell us the model, tyre size and how many tyres need changing.
- Say whether you are bringing loose tyres or complete wheels. For unusual sizes or designs, confirm we can do the job.
- Agree the time and the cost of all operations, including balancing if needed.
What the cost depends on
The cost depends on the model, access to the part, the amount of work and the parts chosen. For an estimate, tell us the make, model, year and the job you need. The final scope of the repair is set after the inspection.
Frequently asked questions
Are balancing and alignment the same thing?
No. Balancing is about how the weight of the wheel is distributed; alignment is about the angles of the wheels on the car. One does not replace the other.
Why does the size matter?
The size and design affect how much work the job takes. For a price, tell us the number of wheels and whether the tyres need removing from the rims.
Will balancing definitely remove the vibration?
Only if imbalance is the cause. A damaged tyre, a bent rim or another fault can feel very similar.
Can I leave my tyres for storage?
Seasonal storage is not among the services confirmed on this page. Please check availability by phone.
