WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE

Alignment is in most cases compare with wheel balancing. Those are very different and independent of the other. The only similarity is they both affect the ride and handling. Where a wheel is out of balance, there will be vibrations on the road with high speed which will be seen or felt in the steering wheel. When the alignment is improper, there is excessive tyre wear. Also it affects the suspension and under chassis.







CABIN AIR FILTER

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an electronic system to monitor the air pressure inside the tires of vehicles. TPMS report real-time tire-pressure information.
BENEFITS:
