Wheel Balancing

Our wheel balancing service smooths out vibrations and helps your tires wear evenly. The technician spins each wheel on a balancing machine to find heavy spots and adds small counterweights to even them out. The result is a smoother ride and longer tire life.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my wheels need balancing?

The most common sign is a vibration in the steering wheel, seat, or floor that gets stronger as you speed up, usually around highway speeds.

How often should wheels be balanced?

A good rule of thumb is every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, whenever you rotate your tires, or any time you feel a new vibration.

Is balancing the same as wheel alignment?

No. Balancing evens out the weight of the tire and wheel to stop vibration, while alignment adjusts the angles of the suspension so the car tracks straight. They are different services.
