Frequently Asked Questions

Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting your vehicle’s wheel angles to match manufacturer specifications. We help improve handling, tyre wear, fuel efficiency, and overall driving safety.

Most experts recommend checking wheel alignment annually or whenever you notice handling issues, uneven tyre wear, or after hitting a pothole or kerb.

Wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels, while wheel balancing ensures the weight is distributed evenly around the wheel and tyre assembly.

A standard wheel alignment service typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the vehicle and any adjustments required.

Common signs include uneven tyre wear, vehicle pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel, poor handling, and increased fuel consumption.

Many modern vehicles benefit from 4 Wheel Alignment particularly those with independent rear suspension systems. Our technicians can advise what is appropriate for your vehicle.

Yes. Incorrect alignment can cause tyres to wear unevenly and prematurely, reducing their lifespan and potentially affecting safety.

Hunter Hawkeye systems are among the most accurate alignment technologies available and are widely used by vehicle manufacturers and specialist workshops.

Recent Tyreshack Reviews

Good service, good comms, good prices
I took my VW Golf into Tyreshack today for 4 new tyres, as the old ones were perishing due to old age. I’d pre-ordered premium tyres earlier in the week - and Tyreshack had sent me a text to let me know that the tyres were in stock. On arrival I was greeted efficiently and politely - and although the place was busy - it only took about an hour for all the tyres to be changed and the tracking to be corrected. The car feels so much nicer now to drive. The service from Tyreshack was exceptional and the cost was about what I expected - which was cheaper than other tyre-fitting companies I could find in my local area. I really recommend this company. Thank you.

I turned up at TyreShack just before closing time, with a shredded runflat tyre. The staff were very helpful and did their best to get me fixed up and on my way, even though it meant working a bit later. Unfortunately they didn't have the correct tyre available, so I had to stay locally overnight, but the car was ready before 9.00am the following day. Excellent service, friendly and knowledgable people and reasonable prices. Recommended!

Great walk in service, to have tyres and wheels checked. Gemma on the front desk was friendly and professional, and took care of customers really quickly while we were waiting for the works to be completed. Really good service and being open all day Saturday a big plus 👍

Perfect business. Nostalgic waiting area fronted by warm and friendly staff on the welcome desk that take their time to exchange stories and humour. The highly skilled mechanics speak to you in a kind manner and even go beyond their initial remit to make suggestions when they can tell something is amiss with the vehicle. I particularly love the bustle of this place with it's high customer volume and rapid throughput. It is an exciting place to be for a few hours and see all the different people coming and going and overhearing the stories of how many people damaged their tyre due to various reasons...potholes =D

The Tyre Shack, Southampton — solid service, would use again

Called mid-week looking for Michelin Pilots for my 4x4. Spoke with Gemma, who said they’d be in the next day. Got a text confirming the tyres had arrived and were ready for Saturday morning — nice and smooth communication.

Price was competitive (I’d checked around beforehand). Check-in was easy, service was good, and the waiting area is warm with Wi-Fi, so I could get some work done. There are vending machines too, which is a bonus.

Worth noting: Saturday at 8am is rammed. Plenty of staff and bays, so things still move, but I’ll probably go mid-week next time.

One small suggestion for management: a better printer — I had to be shown the tracking on a phone instead.
