How we work

During a wheel alignment, our mechanics will visually check the direction and angles of your wheels. For most scenarios, checking the front wheels will highlight an issue which can then be rectified. Using the manufacturers recommendations for your specific model, we will check all aspects of wheel alignment including:

– Camber
– Caster
– Thrust Line
– Toe In and Toe Out

We have the most up-to-date tools and technology which allows us to deliver exceptional service to our customers. This, paired with a solid reputation in the surrounding area means we’re the name of choice when it comes to reliable mechanics in Bexleyheath.

Please note, wheel alignment and tracking is not covered by an MOT. However, wear on tyres caused by misaligned tyres can be a cause for failure on your next MOT.

When you might need us

Your safety is our number one priority at all times. Having misaligned wheels can reduce the grip between tyres and the road surface. In wet conditions, this can transform a minor hazard into a major one. Equally, wearing down unevenly on tyres could result in popping or slits occurring in the rubber. This leads to excessive costs in repairs and also puts the safety of you and your passengers at risk. We have a team of highly experienced and qualified mechanics on hand to deal with all wheel alignment and tracking issues.

Common Questions

Do I really need to have my wheels aligned?

Having your wheels aligned will help to reduce excessive wear on your tyres and improve safety for everyone inside the car. We recommend having it done when having new tyres fitted to ensure you get the most out of them.

What are the signs of poor wheel alignment?

The most common signs that your tyres are poorly aligned are:

Uneven tyre wear on one side of the car
Off-centre steering wheel
Noisy steering
Car pulling to one side of the other
Squealing sound when turning

How often should I have my wheels aligned?

In like with general driving, we recommend having your wheels aligned every 2 – 3 years. This will make sure you are at your safest in the car.

Do I need to buy new tyres in order to have my wheels aligned?

No. We can realign your wheels, even with worn tyres. However, most people find it convenient to have this done when fitting a new tyre to minimise the amount of time your car is off the road.
