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.

Andrew Mitchell - July 29, 2026

"Local garage recommended by AA “as the only AA approved garage in my area” Booked in for an MOT at a discounted price. Surprised that my car had logged 24 miles more than expected, and my main battery charge had dropped by half. Having checked the paperwork, the MOT was actually carried out in Sturminster Newton 11 miles way. It passed okay, and I got my front wheels balanced by Rockhill during the same visit. They were nice to deal with, but not impressed that the AA suggested Rockhill as the only “nearby” option That was yesterday. Now I discover a large Grease Mark on my passenger seat! Oh dear no. I despair"
