A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Your questions,
answered.

Does balancing replace an alignment?+

No. Balancing addresses the distribution of weight around a wheel. Alignment concerns wheel angles. Uneven wear or pulling may require a separate inspection.

Can I bring my own tires?+

Include the tire size and whether your tires are already mounted on wheels in your request. The workshop can confirm compatibility and the work needed.
