A Wheel Alignment is not the same as a Wheel Balance.
How will a Wheel Alignment and/or Wheel Balance
help my vehicle ? Having both in good order will contribute significantly to safer driving and make the tyres have a longer life, sometimes significantly.
Also, correct tyre pressures will also result in tyres lasting longer, using less fuel and also make driving safer.
5 Benefits of Wheel Alignment
Goodyear Autocare Sydenham
Longer Lasting Tyres
Your tyres will wear much more quickly when you don’t get regular wheel alignments.
Ensuring that your wheels are accurately aligned maximises both the performance and longevity of your tyres
Our highly trained technicians will determine the exact amount of adjustment required & apply using our state of the art technology and equipment
Fuel Efficiency
When your vehicle wheel alignment is not set correctly, your wheels are effectively fighting the road in order to keep the car on a straight path. This increased friction causes your vehicle to use more fuel.
Fewer Repair Bills
Wheels often move out of alignment by hitting potholes, bumps, kerbs, driving on uneven surfaces & general wear on steering & suspension components.
Maintaining a proper wheel alignment is essential to avoid unnecessary wear on these components & your tyres.
We recommend a wheel alignment check every 10,000kms, or anytime that you experience a change in the driving or handling of your vehicle.
Vehicle Safety
Properly maintaining your car, truck, SUV, minivan or hybrid vehicle helps it to run better. It also keeps you from running into unexpected car issues that could leave you stranded on the side of the road.
Smoother Ride
When your car’s wheel alignment is not correctly aligned you will usually notice that your vehicle drifts slightly to the right or left even though your steering wheel is aimed straight ahead.
Wheel Balancing
A tyre balance corrects the weight imbalance on your tyre and wheel assemblies, while an alignment corrects the angles of the tyres so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way. Our new top of the line wheel balancing machine is the best available. It’s technology ensures a precision wheel balance, not only checking the balance of the tyre, but also checking the balance of the rim separately.
This means that any imperfections in the rim such as buckles will be identified. The machine will also pick up impact fractures and separation issues in the tyre.
Whether balancing new tyres or rebalancing existing tyres, our machine will ensure that you get the best job possible.
