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.
Parr Automotive First Stop customer reviews
"I’ve used Parr Automotive for over 18 years. Both my car and van are regularly serviced and maintained here for MOT. Honesty and integrity is clearly evident here. In an industry that has its fair share of untrustworthy mechanics, Parr’s are spot on. Good, friendly and honest people. Fully recommended 🙂👍🏻"
"Absolutely Incredible Mechanic that I Highly Recommended! Not just saying it for the sake of it. I genuinely have to say this company is incredible. I own a black Renault Twingo 2010, and ever since I bought it, it has never felt this nice to drive, until now. I recently moved from London to Market Harborough and decided to try this garage, and I am so glad I did. My car now drives smoother than ever, the steering feels light and precise, the brakes work perfectly, and even the handbrake was fixed without me even asking for it. It wasn’t even mentioned on the MOT, but they went above and beyond to sort it anyway, I know because it felt loose before but not feels very nice. What really amazed me is that they did all this for about half the price I used to pay at various mechanics in London, where, in hindsight, I realise I was definitely getting ripped off. After driving for over 10 years with no accidents and always looking after my car, it’s clear I’ve finally found an honest, skilled mechanic who genuinely cares about doing the job properly. The whole experience is brilliant. The receptionist is extremely friendly and kind, and to top it off, they even have a lovely dog in the office, Hero, well did when I went there... which just makes the place feel even more welcoming. I can honestly say this is the best mechanic I’ve ever been to, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. If you want your car looked after properly by good, honest people, this is the place to go."
