What to look for…
Modern wheels, with sophisticated rims and high performance tyres, are placing greater demands on wheel care products than ever before. Suitable equipment must have an efficient, wide ranging performance, minimise the risk of damage yet be able to tackle cosmetic demands such as hidden balance weights
Wheel Balancers
In a day and age where alloy wheels fitted with low profile tyres are fast becoming the norm, it is imperative that tyre fitting and balancing equipment is suited to the task required of it, both now and for future developments. The ability to remove a 205/45/17 run-flat tyre in complete confidence can define the true value of a tyre changer, and the facility to balance a wheel to zero first time, with weights hidden discreetly behind the spokes suggests the real capability of a wheel balancer. Above all, the most important criteria when choosing tyre equipment is to recognise that so-called ‘budget’ machines rarely provide good value, being limited in their capability and longevity. Investing in quality equipment will provide peace of mind for both you and your customers.

Wheel Alignment
Carrying out wheel alignment checks and adjustments as part of car servicing is now a must with the modern vehicles. Correct wheel alignment gives optimum handling, extended tyre life and improved fuel economy. With the modern electronics in vehicles it is also essential to have the steering geometry correct as this will affect the stability programmes in the vehicle set up. By offering this service companies willgenerate a healthy profit stream to their business.
