Wheel balancing is a crucial aspect of car maintenance that ensures smooth and stable driving, minimises tyre wear, and enhances overall safety. Here are some signs that suggest your car’s wheels may require balancing:

• Steering Pull: If your car tends to pull to one side while driving on a straight and level road, it may indicate an imbalance in the wheels. We can diagnose the issue and correct the balance, ensuring your car drives straight and true.
