Our wheel and tyre services revolve around any repair or maintenance work to improve the overall health of your car tyres. It may go beyond simple air pressure and tyre tread checks, especially if the current condition of your wheels call for alignments or replacements. These procedures help ensure that your tyres won't burst open in the middle of the road and compromise your safety while driving. If you're getting your tyres or alloy rims checked with Airtasker for the first time, here's what you can expect.
Tyre Fitting
Tyre fitting typically includes removing old or worn-out tyres and mounting new ones that fit your vehicle's make and model, as well as its existing rims. For this service, your specialist fits your wheels accordingly then checks their balance and tread depth to ensure that they're not over- or under-inflated. However, if your car is suffering from bulged or severely damaged tyres, then it's best to get your tyres replaced immediately to avoid any accidents or driving mishaps while you're on the road.
Tyre Repair
Flat tyres and tyre punctures are common wheel issues that can potentially harm drivers, passengers, and other vehicles on the road. Your
tyre repair specialist can assess your wheels and do the necessary fixes depending on the severity of the damage or problem area. Small holes and punctures in between a tyre's shoulders are usually repairable; but, if the damage reaches the sidewall or internal part of your wheels, then you may need a tyre replacement for a more permanent solution.
Wheel Alignment and Tracking
Wheel alignment or wheel tracking is the process of straightening your car tyres according to your manufacturer's specifications to prevent steering issues and uneven tyre treading. These services are essential maintenance procedures and must be done at least once a year or whenever the wheels are changed. It's also often paired with a wheel balancing check to secure proper wheel function when driving.
Wheel Refurbishment
Our
wheel refurbishment service involves cosmetic repairs and reconditioning procedures to give your tyres that brand new look and showroom quality once again. Depending on the current condition of your wheels, your refurbishment specialist can do a powder coating, diamond cutting, or a Small to Medium Area Repair Technology (SMART) repair to resolve minor defects.
