Frequently asked questions
No, it's not the same.
Alignment involves setting the wheels on each axle in parallel, and the axles parallel to each other, adjusting wheel angles so that the car steering does not drift to one side, as well as ensuring driver comfort and good grip for the tyres, thus guaranteeing safety at the wheel.
Balancing is a mechanical process of adjusting the wheels to prevent vehicle vibration at any speed, no matter what type of driving is used.
The modern car is built for comfort, performance and handling. In order to achieve and maintain the best ride possible, the steering and suspension needs to be measured and adjusted within the motor manufacturer’s specifications. This can only be done by measuring all four wheels and having a proper full four wheel alignment measurement.
Wheel alignment can be affected by hitting the kurb or a large pothole in the road or travelling regularly on gravel roads. If alignment is out, it can cause excessive wear to your tyres and problems with steering or suspension.
A&A Tyres & Auto Services First Stop customer reviews
"Prompt polite and efficient. I’ve used A&A for several years as they always can get unusual tyres quickly and are offer the best price and service in Cardiff"
"Great price for tyres and alignment, and excellent service."
"Second time I've used A & A Tyres Cardiff. Excellent service and competitive tyres compare to high street tyre and online companies they offer discount when buying 2 or more tyres, yet A & A Tyres still come out cheaper without any marketing incentives. Waiting times can be long but this is communicated on there website but worth the wait."
"Got recommended to A&A for tracking by another tyre company. Absolutely fantastic, couldn't have been more happy with the work carried out and the finished results. Kept informed and shown what was being done, they apologised for the time taken, wasn't bothered because I knew it needed doing. Top notch equipment and technician, thank you very much!"
"By far the best independent garage in Cardiff, never use anyone else for tyres."
"Genuine, Honest and friendly service from a local team. Wouldn't go anywhere else."
"Took my Porsche Panamera for wheel alignment this afternoon, had the car looked at by Kevin I believe, they did a fantastic job. They were very honest and showed/told me exactly what it needed and why it needed it showing me along the way. Turns out it didn’t need alignment - and they did not charge me anything due to this. Very knowledgable in their field, and happy to explain everything, comparably reasonable in price to other local options and they’re very experienced - well worth it if you want the job done once and properly!"
"They were recommended to me by my usual classic mechanics, Body & Soul, for a puncture repair on my 53yo van. Super quick and efficient, and the final bill was a very reasonable £26.40. Would return."
"Always gets the job done right first time recommended by a friend used a few times now and always does a good job also has the best equipment and best of all friendly staff"
