Wheel Balancing in Encinitas, California
Ensure Safety and Comfort With Professional Wheel Balancing
Overview of Wheel Balancing
At Encinitas Foreign & Domestic Auto Repair, we provide wheel balances for all makes and models. Properly balanced wheels improve your vehicle’s ride comfort, handling, and safety and extend the life of your tires. Wheel balancing is a procedure that adjusts the weight distribution of your tire-and-wheel assembly to ensure it rotates evenly and smoothly. The process involves attaching small weights to the wheel in specific locations to counterbalance any heavy spots. We use a balancing machine to determine the exact location and the amount of weight needed to balance the wheel. Wheel balancing is a relatively quick and affordable service that can make a big difference in the performance and safety of your vehicle. Serving Encinitas, California, our auto repair shop offers professional and efficient wheel balancing service.

When Do You Need to Get Your Wheels Balanced?
It’s recommended to have your wheels balanced at least once a year for optimal driving dynamics. You should also have them balanced when you replace your tires and if you experience the telltale signs of wheel imbalance. One of the most common symptoms of an unbalanced wheel(s) is the feeling of vibrations in the steering wheel, your seat, or the floorboard at certain speeds. Another common indicator is if you experience difficulty steering or if your vehicle pulls to one side when driving. Other signs can include humming or buzzing sounds (especially at higher speeds) and uneven tire wear. An unbalanced wheel can lead to premature tire wear, poor handling, decreased fuel efficiency, and overall unsafe driving conditions. If you notice one or more signs of unbalanced wheels, make an appointment at our auto repair shop for an inspection!
