Balham Cars Service Centre – Wheel alignment

Quality wheel alignment in Balham

At Balham Cars Service Centre, we aim to provide the highest standards of maintenance in the most efficient manner. Our wheel alignment services are incredibly affordable and only take between thirty and sixty minutes to complete, depending on how many wheels need aligning. Your wheels are most likely to become misaligned after minor collisions with kerbs and potholes, so never ignore these minor bumps. It’s worth keeping an eye on your tyres regularly as well – tyre tread shallower than 1.6 mm will constitute as a failure on your MOT test.

How wheel alignment can benefit you

It’s simple – if your wheels are misaligned, driving will be much less pleasurable. This is because your vehicle is having to work much harder to continue driving in the way you want it to. You’ll also increase the control over your vehicle by booking a wheel alignment appointment because it won’t be trying to pull left or right and your tyres will retain their tread for longer, giving you greater grip on the road. Realigning your wheels also means you won’t have to replace your tyres as often, which can be incredibly expensive!

When to book a wheel alignment appointment

There are a few warning signs that your wheel alignment could be uneven and in need of a professional touch. If you notice that your vehicle pulls to one side when driving, your steering wheel doesn’t sit straight, even when driving in a straight line, there is uneven wear across one or more of your tyres or you feel unnatural vibrations in the steering wheel, you should book a wheel alignment appointment as soon as possible.
