AUTO, TRUCK & TIRE CENTER Wheel balancing and alignment for heavy trucks We recently added new equip- ment for balancing and align- ing wheels of all sizes, a service very few repair shops are able to offer. While most places only John Winter service automobile wheels, Mid- Service Manager (952) 466-3710 County Auto, Truck, and Tire can [email protected] also accommodate wheels from semi tractors, trailers, dump trucks, and almost any other large vehicle. Our balancing and alignment equipment is from Hunter Engineering Company in Missouri, which manufactures and markets a full line of award-winning service equipment used world- wide. Wheel balancing (also called tire balancing) is done when a wheel is initially mounted onto the axle with a new tire, as well as periodically, due to wear and tear. Signs that wheels need to be balanced include uneven tire wear and vibration while driving. Our new wheel balancing system We do DO ti T ons Inspec emulates being on the road, of- fering superior, accurate results. Wheel align- ment is typically not needed as often as wheel balancing. Most manufacturers recommend a check every 10,000 miles, and anytime the vehicle has been in a col- lision. To prepare for the alignment, we check tire tread and measure wheel orientation. Then, we use our specialized equipment to bring the car’s suspension into proper placement. To schedule a wheel balancing or wheel alignment appointment for a car or truck of any size, call us today at (952) 466-3710.
