Tyre Service & Repairs
Here at Goodyear Autocare Porirua we understand that not everyone can afford new tyres every year, that's why we offer a range of tyre services and repairs to help you get the most out of your tyres while keeping your vehicle safe.
We offer a range of Tyre services Including:
• Puncture Repairs • Wheel Balancing
• Tyre Rotation • Tyre Pressure checks
• Tyre Condition checks • Tyre leak checks
Puncture Repairs:
If you notice that your tyre looks a bit flat you could have a puncture in your tyre. Punctures occur when a foreign object like a nail or a screw passes its way through your tyre causing your tyre to lose pressure which if not repaired can cause irreversible damage to your tyre or even damage your wheel and other components. So don’t let a tyre puncture leave you stranded. Tyre puncture repair services are a quick and reliable solution to get you back on the road safely. Expert technicians assess the damage, seal the puncture with precision, and check for any other issues to ensure your tyre’s integrity. Whether it’s a small nail or a sharp object causing the leak, puncture repairs help prevent further damage and extend the lifespan of your tyres.
Tyre Rotation:
One of the best ways to extend your tyre life is to rotate your tyres every 10,000km or 6 months, depending on driving habits and vehicle type, as it can significantly extend the life of your tyres. Different tyres wear at different rates depending on their position. For example, front tyres on a Front Wheel Drive car will wear faster than their rear tyres due to the steering and power delivery, by rotating your tyres it would reduce the amount of wear to the front and creating even wear through out all tyres creating a longer life. Having equal tyre tread depth across all tyres help improve the overall safety of your vehicle ensuring consistent traction, improving braking, and cornering as well as reducing stopping distance, which is especially important in wet or slippery conditions.
Wheel Balance:
Another way to reduce tyre wear is to ensure that your wheels are all balanced as balanced wheels will reduce tyre wear. One way to know if your wheels aren’t balanced is if you notice that your vehicle is shaking through the steering at higher speeds. If so it might be time for you to come in for a wheel balance. A wheel balance is an important factor to keep your car safe especially if you are driving long distances at higher speeds. A wheel balance ensures that the weight of the wheel and tyre are evenly distributed around the axle. It is important to have properly balanced wheels due to the smallest weight difference can cause vibrations which can put stress on your vehicles steering and suspension parts which could cause major issues further down the line.
Wheel Alignment
Here in Porirua we are one of only a few wheel alignment specialty shops in the country and have been doing wheel alignments since 1976. So when it comes to your wheel alignment no matter how old or new your vehicle is we are the place to go.
Having a properly aligned suspension keeps your vehicle driving straight, handles predictably, and wears tyres evenly. Skipping an alignment check can lead to premature tyre wear, compromised vehicle safety and higher running costs.
The Key benefits of getting a wheel alignment and wheel balance on your vehicle is that it can extend your tyre life, enhances steering response and vehicle stability, improve fuel efficiency, and reduces pulling either left or right. All of these together help boost your vehicles overall safety under braking, corners and wet condtions. We recomend getting a wheel alignment done every 20,000km/12 months to ensure everything is in correct order, or immediately following significant impacts with a curb, large pothole, or striking something as these can throw off your vehicles alignment.
Without a wheel alignment you might start to notice uneven tyre wear, that your vehicle is pulling left/right or that your steering wheel is down on the left/right when driving straight, increases in braking distances, or wear to your suspension and steering components. All these things bring down your vehicle safety and can become a more costly fix/replacement.
Good thing here at Goodyear Autocare Porirua is we can do a wheel alignment on all Passenger vehicle, Vans, Utes, Race and Track cars and most Light trucks and Camper Vans. If you think you need a wheel alignment don't hesitate to give us a call or come down and see us on Kenepuru Drive.
