Wheel balancing and alignment is one of the most important parts of maintaining your vehicle in perfect condition. Tires can be extremely expensive and so it is important that you get the most life out of them so that you can run them for as long as possible. This is where we come in. We at The Mechanix can help you with all your wheel balancing and alignment needs.

• Aside from tire rotation, wheel alignment and balancing can help extend the life of the tire. You can tell when your car wheels are not aligned correctly if the vehicle will not move straight when the steering wheel is released completely.If you find this happening, you should get your wheel aligned as soon as possible because it could cause further problems with suspension and vibrations when you are driving.
• It can also put your safety at risk. Bad alignment can cause poor cornering and handling of your vehicle. This will make it significantly more dangerous for the driver and passengers, especially in wet or icy conditions.
• In addition, it also places tremendous strain on the driver as he/she will have to repeatedly correct the direction of the car, causing backaches and repetitive stress injury.
• Tire balancing is necessary as your tires will need to be balanced with the wheel weight to ensure that each wheel is moving in tandem with the vehicle as need be. If your tires are imbalanced, you can feel the steering wheel moving back and forth slightly when you drive.
  If you notice this happening, it is important to take your car to a mechanic immediately as this can compromise your safety significantly.
• Unbalanced tires will also result in an increase in your tire’s wear and tear. This will mean that you will have to replace your tires far more frequently than you need to, which will mean unnecessary costs incurred.
• You can tell that your tires are imbalanced if certain tires are wearing out at a much faster rate than others, in spite of regular tire rotation. In addition to that, you will be able to feel much heavier vibrations than you should while driving in your car, and this can be dangerous for the passengers as well. These vibrations will affect all the parts of the car and put stress on them, like the axle, lower ball joints, and other essential parts of your vehicle.
• This means that in addition to having to replace your tires regularly, you will also incur significant damage to your vehicle resulting in greater maintenance costs. Therefore, it is very important that you check the balancing of your wheels and address this issue, so that not only are you not incurring excessive unnecessary costs in maintaining your vehicle but also you are not putting yours and other passengers’ safety at risk.
