Wheel Alignment in Harlow

Wheel Alignment by Uncle Tom's Motoring Centre

If you’re searching for a wheel alignment in Harlow, 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 Uncle Tom's Motoring Centre. 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.

"quick and affordable service. However, I had custom dust caps and wasn’t until i got home i realised they had been removed and replaced with standard ones. My ones were no where to be seen and not mentioned when collecting the keys."

"I usually get good service from uncle Toms Harlow providing.it is an easy straight forward job from which money can be made. I recently made an enquiry regarding a near side flexi exhaust pipe for my Audi 2.4cabrio 2002,I was told they are not available ,that is not correct they are readily available . It would seem to me it is not a run of the mill job so they are not interested . I have made enquires elsewhere and I can get a bespoke unit , Such a shame when it comes to run of the mill work that is very lucrative ,it can be done. Very disappointed in uncle Toms ,pretty poor service especially when they say we can do all exhaust types I will continue to get tyres there . Shame guys !"

Walked my dog got back about 8:50 just as it was being finished. I've been using Uncle Tom's for quite a few years now, very happy with their service, and wouldn't go anywhere else."

"Dug us out of a hole. We had an issue with our exhaust on Thursday evening and got the recovery people to drop the car outside the shop in the early hours. We went back at opening time and the manager there bent over backwards to fit us in to an already fully booked day. 2 hours later, we were back on the road. Faultless and trustworthy customer service."

"After looking online for new tyres, I found Uncle Tom's to be the cheapest. I read some reviews, and they were good, so I booked my car in for 2 new tyres. I was surprised how quickly the tyres were fitted,also balanced, I was in and out within 25 minutes. When I need help with tyres, this is where I will come in the future."
