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.

"My daughters car developed a loud grinding noise from the brakes and was exceptionally noisy . They were on holiday in Wells at the time and due to drive back to Leeds the next day with two small children She drove to Dunthornes who without hesitation inspected her car and confirmed it had suffered from a stone stuck in the handbrake pads .After checking all 4 wheels they confirmed that the issue had resolved and the car was good to go .The service from this garage is exceptional and they are so good (when you are stuck in a holiday location with concerns for your car) at putting your mind at ease . I can not rate them highly enough ,true professionals,who genuinely help when you are stuck .They care !!! which is very rare in a lot of places .We got back to Leeds all safe and sound and were able to enjoy our last day in Wells due to the help and caring attitude of Dunthornes .Thank you so much"

"We can’t thank Dunthorne's Garage enough for their help just a few days before Christmas. After a long journey in our campervan, the engine coolant light suddenly came on — not exactly what you want when you’re away from home and just before Christmas! Despite how busy that time of year is, they didn’t hesitate to offer their help and take a look at the van for us. They were incredibly supportive, reassuring, and genuinely kind throughout the whole experience. They gave us the peace of mind we needed to drive home confidently and safely. It made such a difference to our stress levels after what had already been a long trip. Fantastic service, professional, and truly helpful when we needed it most. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you again!"
