Proper wheel balance ensures that the wheels, while spinning, do not have a heavy spot that can cause vibration and premature wear of tyres, struts, shocks and other steering and suspension components. When combined with proper wheel alignment, balanced wheels ensure smooth and enjoyable driving. It’s a good idea to have your cars wheels balanced when rotating the tyres, about every 10,000kms.

If there is a puncture, this will more than likely be seen after the vehicle has been standing still for a while. For a short term fix, we offer plugs, but highly recommend to rather replace the tyre as plugs are often unreliable. Should the puncture happen on the shoulder or sidewall of the tyre, it will not be advised to repair as this takes the most amount of pressure and can cause serious harm should this lead to a tyre burst. For decades, the motorsport and aviation teams have been using nitrogen to fill their tyres, and now, the same great benefits are offered to passenger and light commercial vehicles. It keeps the tyres cooler than air allowing for longer usage and tread life. Wheel alignment consists of a series of interrelated measurements and adjustments that bring a vehicle’s steering, suspension and on-road driving characteristics into manufacturers specifications.
