Wheel Balancing in Sheffield

At Red Smoke Automotive, we provide professional wheel balancing services in Sheffield using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precision and accuracy. Our experienced technicians can eliminate vibrations and uneven tyre wear, improving comfort and extending the life of your tyres and suspension components.

The Difference Between Wheel Balancing and Alignment

Many drivers confuse these two important services:

• Wheel balancing corrects weight distribution around the wheel and tyre assembly
• Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels to the manufacturer's specifications
• Balancing prevents vibration and uneven tyre wear from weight imbalances
• Alignment prevents pulling, crooked steering wheel, and tyre wear from incorrect angles
• Both services are often needed together for optimal results

At Red Smoke Automotive, we can assess whether you need balancing, alignment, or both services to resolve your specific issues.
