Wheel Balancing, Wherever You Are
Vibration through the steering wheel or seat at speed can point to a wheel that's out of balance. A technician checks and balances the wheel and tyre assembly at your home, work or another suitable location, for cars, SUVs and vans, with a typical 20–30 minute response target depending on location, traffic and availability.
What Does Wheel Balancing Do?
Every wheel and tyre assembly has small variations in weight, often from tyre wear or the manufacturing process. Wheel balancing uses precision equipment to identify where that imbalance sits, then applies corrective weights where required. A properly balanced wheel can rotate more smoothly, which may reduce vibration and support more even tyre wear over time. It's a different service to wheel alignment, which relates to the angles of the wheels rather than their weight, and may need looking at separately if that turns out to be the cause.
Wheel balancing corrects weight distribution in the wheel and tyre. If the cause turns out to be alignment-related instead, we'll let you know so it can be looked at separately.
Signs a Wheel May Need Balancing
Tell us what you're feeling and when it happens. That alone can help point to which wheel may be affected.
Vibration at speed
A shake through the steering wheel that builds at certain speeds can indicate a front wheel imbalance, though other causes are possible.
Vibration through the seat
Vibration felt lower down, through the seat or floor, may point to a rear wheel rather than the front.
After new tyres or a repair
Any time a wheel and tyre assembly is removed or refitted, checking the balance again is good practice.
Uneven tyre wear
Wear that looks patchy in places can sometimes relate to imbalance, though a tyre inspection may be needed to confirm the cause.

Balancing After a Tyre Callout?
If a tyre's just been replaced or repaired, checking the wheel balance is worth doing so the vibration doesn't come back. We can also look into a vibration you've noticed on its own.
Wheel Balancing for Cars, SUVs & Vans
From everyday cars to SUVs and vans, we can check and balance the wheel and tyre assembly where the vehicle is safely parked. Requirements can differ by vehicle, so we confirm what's needed before starting. For fleet or business vehicles, see our onsite tyre fitting page for scheduled multi-vehicle visits.
Wheel balancing for everyday cars and SUVs at home, work or another suitable location.
We can check and balance van wheels where they're safely parked, with requirements that can differ from a car.
If a tyre's just been fitted, repaired or replaced, we can balance the wheel as part of the same visit.
If the cause isn't clear, our tyre inspection service can help identify what's going on before balancing is carried out.
