Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle that makes contact with the road, which means they directly affect your safety. Worn tyres reduce grip, increase stopping distances and raise the risk of accidents. Poor wheel alignment can cause uneven tyre wear, wasted fuel and steering issues. Regular tyre servicing and alignment helps you:

You should replace your tyres when the tread depth is low, the wear indicators are visible, or if you notice cracks, bulges, or reduced grip in wet conditions.
Tyres typically need replacing every 40,000–50,000 km, depending on your driving style, road conditions, and the type of tyre fitted. In addition, tyre manufacturers generally recommend replacement after 7 years from the manufacturing date, even if the tread appears fine, as rubber naturally degrades over time. You can check the manufacture date by looking at the DOT code on the tyre’s sidewall – the last four digits show the week and year it was produced. Factors like sun exposure, heat, driving conditions, and maintenance can all shorten or extend a tyre’s lifespan.
Your tyre pressure should always match the manufacturer’s recommendation, which you’ll find on the driver’s door sticker or in the owner’s manual.
Wheel alignment is the adjustment of your vehicle’s suspension angles so that the tyres sit correctly on the road, improving safety, handling and tyre life.
You should get a wheel alignment at least once a year, or sooner if you notice uneven tyre wear, vibration or your car pulling to one side.
Yes, we can stamp your log book after each service. This ensures your service history is complete and your vehicle remains compliant with warranty requirements.
Yes, a punctured tyre can be repaired if the damage is small and located in the tread area. If the puncture is large or on the sidewall, the tyre will need to be replaced.
