Wheel alignment and balancing questions
Are tracking and balancing the same thing?
No. They address different aspects of the wheel and tyre setup. We can explain which checks are relevant to your concern.
Is alignment included with new tyres?
Our tyre quotes include fitting, balancing, valves and disposal. Please ask separately about alignment so we can confirm the work and price.
