WHEEL BALANCING
& ROTATION.
A vibrating steering wheel at Parkway speed usually means an out-of-balance wheel. Regular rotation also spreads tyre wear evenly so your set lasts longer.

Call to book, same-day wheel balancing is often available.
Signs you need balancing or rotation.
Vibration through the wheel
A buzz or shimmy that gets worse the faster you go on the Monaro Highway usually points to an unbalanced front wheel.
Uneven tread across the set
Fronts wearing faster than rears (or vice versa) is normal on front- or rear-drive cars, rotation evens it out.
Haven't rotated in 10,000km
Most manufacturers recommend rotating every 10,000-15,000km, easy to lose track of between services.
New tyre still vibrates
A freshly fitted tyre that still shakes the wheel almost always needs a re-balance.
Everything included, no surprises.

Canberra locals rate us 5.0 out of 5
"Booked a set of four tyres online and dropped the car off on my way to work. Ready by lunchtime, balanced perfectly and the price matched the quote exactly."
"Had a slow leak that turned out to be a nail in the sidewall. They were upfront that it couldn’t be repaired and had a replacement tyre fitted within the hour."
"Logbook service done properly, stamped and everything, for a lot less than the dealership quoted. Will be bringing both our cars here from now on."
"Steering was pulling to the left after some suspension work elsewhere. Wheel alignment fixed it completely, and they showed me the before and after printout."
"Punctured a tyre on the Federal Highway. Called ahead, they had it repaired the same afternoon and even checked the tread on the other three at no extra cost."
"Vibration through the wheel at highway speed turned out to be a balancing issue. Sorted in under 40 minutes and hasn’t come back since."
