When Straightening Helps
If the wheel can be straightened rather than replaced, Tyreshack uses specialist equipment.
Why do I need Wheel Straightening?
With potholes being unavoidable in traffic conditions, your wheels are bound to hit them from time to time, which can lead to damage. You may also have a kerbed wheel from clipping the kerb at speed or pulling up against a kerb while parking.
Damaged wheels can ruin your tyres and affect the handling of your vehicle. Vibrations from a damaged wheel can impact your steering and suspension, indicating the need for a wheel check to confirm whether wheel straightening is necessary.
