Wheel Alignment by ETB Autocentres Bude
If you’re searching for a wheel alignment in Bude, you may already know that correctly aligned wheels are absolutely essential for safe and comfortable driving. But did you know that wheel alignment can also save you money in a couple of ways? Firstly, poorly aligned tyres wear out faster and need to be replaced more often. Secondly, they can also decrease fuel mileage by up to 10%, meaning you have to fill up more often.
The solution is to have your wheels properly aligned—and then keep them that way with an annual wheel alignment by ETB Autocentres Bude. Our highly skilled technicians use state-of-the-art technology to ensure your steering is centred and that all four wheels are parallel, sitting flat on the road.

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.
ETB Autocentres Bude customer reviews
"Always efficient"
"I was really impressed with the service provided by ETB Autocentres - Bude. After a traumatic tyre experience driving on the North Link Road, ETB were able to provide a time for next day replacement tyres where others were unable to assist. The team were reliable, efficient and understanding of my circumstances. Would highly recommend 5 ⭐ service. Thank you"
"I have used them more than 10 times since moving to North Devon 5 years ago, to do repairs, MOTs and tyre changes on mulitple vehicles. They are always so helpful, very reasonably priced and nothing is too much trouble."
"Excellent service, very efficient and polite and cheerful."
"Life savers! Engine shield? Hanging loose when we arrived in Bude for a short break. Lovely lovely staff from reception to the fab guy who put it back on to the guy who made such a fuss of our dog. Brilliant service and really reasonable charge."
"I have just received the best service from ETB in Bude. Walked in and was greeted by Cain who was instantly a great guy and checked all the tyre pressures on my car and getting them to where they needed to be. I also needed a new car key battery which was also done straight away. A really great bunch of people, very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable - Rob and Tracey in the office also both amazing. Thanks so much for sorting me today, would highly recommend!"
"We were at the end of week 1 of our holiday and the warning light told of a tyre issue. We found a nail in the tyre. Quick google search near to our base came up with ETB. I phoned explained the concern and was surprised to be offered an appointment the next day. On the same day on the way home we hit a rock at the side of a country lane and had a blow out. I phoned ETB in the morning. No problem they would fix both. So puncture repair and new tyre. Sorted in 40 minutes. Great price too. They just took all the stress out of this situation to allow us to enjoy our holiday. Remarkable service. Overwhelmed by their efficiency. Can we please have an ETB where we live. X"
"Brilliant. ETB reset my tyre pressure gauge and didn't charge me. I shall think about having my annual service and MOT here now."
"Fantastic customer service and support. We were on a two day holiday when we got a flat battery - the team were unbelievably helpful in ordering us what we needed and fitting it with no notice on a Saturday, saving our only full day in Bude! Thank you all SO much. Such friendly people. Highly recommend."
"Called first thing in the morning, as had a bald tyre and was driving home the next day (a 6 hour drive), from the moment the phone was answered, the team were professional, friendly and extremely helpful. Took the car in, it was checked over and advised 2 new tyres as one was on its way out too. Price options were discussed with me, and although the team were super busy, they remained professional and polite throughout. Really great service all round. Thank you"
