- Detailed Check
What Does a Tyre Servicing Involve?
Tyres are the only point of contact your car has with the road, so keeping them in tip-top condition is vital for safety and performance. The process involves inspecting, repairing, and replacing tyres to maintain optimal performance and safety.
- Our trained technician will thoroughly examine your tyres for any signs of damage, such as cuts, bulges, or foreign objects lodged in the tread.
- The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre’s tread. Our technician will use a tread depth gauge to measure yours and advise if they’re getting close to needing replacement.
- Incorrect tyre pressure can affect handling, fuel economy, and tyre wear. Our technician will inflate your tyres to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure, which can be found on a sticker inside the driver’s door or fuel flap.
- Regularly rotating your tyres (usually front to back) helps ensure even wear and extends their lifespan. This might be included in some servicing packages or offered as an additional service.
Tyre servicing is an essential aspect of vehicle maintenance that focuses on ensuring the optimal condition and performance of your car’s tires.
- If you’ve picked up a puncture, some tyre service centres can repair it, depending on the size and location of the hole.
- Checking and adjusting the alignment of the wheels to ensure they are properly aligned, which can help prevent uneven tyre wear and improve handling.
- Balancing the tyres to distribute weight evenly, reducing vibrations and extending tyre life.
The Tyres service Process
we will find and fix any problems in your vehicle
Overall, regular tire servicing is essential for ensuring the safety, performance, and longevity of your vehicle’s tires. By following the manufacturer’s recommended tire maintenance schedule and addressing any issues promptly, you can enjoy a smoother ride and peace of mind on the road.
- The process usually begins with an initial inspection of the tyres by a trained technician. They will visually inspect each tire for signs of wear, damage, and uneven tread wear. They will also check the tire pressure using a gauge to ensure it matches the manufacturer’s recommendations.
If necessary, our technician will rotate the tyres to promote even tread wear. Tyre rotation involves moving each tire to a different position on the vehicle, such as swapping front tires with rear tyres or rotating them diagonally.
- You will receive a pass certificate if your car meets the standards. If there are failures, a list of faults will be provided, along with a schedule to have repairs done and a retest within a certain timeframe.
- Proper wheel alignment ensures that the wheels are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Our technician will use specialized equipment to adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles of the wheels as needed to correct any misalignment.
- Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. Our technician will adjust the tire pressure using an air compressor or nitrogen fill station to match the recommended pressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
- If a tyre is found to be damaged beyond repair or has worn down to the point where it compromises safety, it may need to be repaired or replaced. Our technician will assess the condition of the tyre and recommend either patching a puncture, replacing the tyre, or installing a new set of tyres if necessary.
- Once all servicing tasks are completed, a final inspection of the tyres is conducted to ensure everything has been done correctly. Our technician will double-check the tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition of each tyre.
- Our technician may provide recommendations for future tyre maintenance, such as regular tyre rotations, wheel alignments, and tyre replacements based on the condition of the tires and the vehicle’s usage patterns.
Why is a Tyre Servicing Important?
An Tyre Servicing is crucial for several reasons:
- Worn or damaged tyres can affect your car’s handling and braking ability, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Correctly inflated tyres provide better grip, improve handling, and contribute to fuel efficiency.
- Regular checks and proper maintenance can extend the life of your tyres, saving you money in the long run.
- In the UK, it is a legal requirement for tyres to have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre and around the entire circumference. Failure to comply with this regulation can result in fines and penalty points on your driving license.
- Properly inflated tyres with adequate tread depth can improve fuel efficiency, saving you money on fuel costs.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Tyre Servicing Questions
It’s recommended to have your tyres checked at least once a month, and ideally before any long journeys.
If you notice any of the following, it’s time for replacements: worn tread depth below the legal limit, visible damage like cuts or bulges, vibrations while driving, or the tyre pressure warning light coming on frequently.
Puncture repair kits are available, but it’s generally recommended to have a professional assess the damage and carry out the repair for optimal safety.
Wheel balancing ensures your wheels spin evenly, reducing vibrations and improving tyre wear. It’s usually recommended when fitting new tyres or if you’re experiencing a wobble while driving.
Summer tyres are designed for optimal performance in warm weather, while winter tyres offer better grip and traction in cold and snowy conditions. While not mandatory in the UK, winter tyres can be beneficial for those living in areas prone to harsh winters.
Driving with a punctured tyre can be dangerous and can cause further damage to the tyre and rim. It’s best to pull over to a safe location and either replace the tyre with a spare or call for roadside assistance.
You should replace your tyres when the tread depth is worn down to 1.6mm or less, or if you notice any signs of damage such as cuts, bulges, or cracks in the sidewall.
Tyre rotation involves moving the tyres from one position to another on the vehicle to ensure even wear. This can extend the lifespan of your tyres and improve overall performance.
It’s generally recommended to replace all four tyres at the same time to maintain uniformity in terms of tread depth and tyre performance. However, if only one tyre is damaged or worn out, you can replace it individually, but try to match it as closely as possible to the remaining tyres in terms of brand, size, and tread pattern.
An MOT stands for Ministry of Transport test. It’s an annual check in the UK required for most vehicles over three years old (four years in Northern Ireland) to ensure they meet road safety and environmental standards.
