Services
Wheel Alignment
Our precision wheel alignment service uses Hunter HawkEye systems to correct uneven tyre wear and improve vehicle handling. Technicians reset steering angle sensors and adjust camber, caster, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications. This service enhances fuel efficiency, extends tyre life, and ensures safer driving for passenger and commercial vehicles across Essex.
High Performance Tyre Fitting
Specialist fitting for high-performance tyres up to 26 inches using Butler HP 645 machines. We protect alloy wheels during installation and handle run-flat tyres with precision. Our fitters combine technical expertise with care for luxury and performance vehicles, ensuring optimal contact patch and tread alignment for enhanced grip and safety.
Alloy Wheel Refurbishment
Comprehensive alloy wheel refurbishment including diamond turning, welding, and powder coating. We repair kerb damage and corrosion using chemical stripping and computerised lathe processes. Each wheel undergoes multiple quality checks to restore structural integrity and aesthetic finish, with a 2-3 working day turnaround for improved durability and appearance.
Mobile Tyre Fitting
Emergency mobile tyre fitting across Essex using vans equipped with computerised balancers. We provide lead-free weights for alloy wheels and offer contactless service with pre-arrival notifications. This convenient solution minimises vehicle downtime for domestic and commercial customers requiring urgent tyre replacements at home or workplace locations.
Wheel Balancing
Computerised wheel balancing using Haweka laser-guided systems to eliminate vibration and uneven wear. Technicians mount wheels with finger plates for accurate centring, adding precision weights to counteract imbalances. Regular balancing extends tyre life, reduces suspension stress, and maintains optimal road contact for safer, smoother driving experiences.

Martin carried out a wheel alignment on my Luton Transit van 10,000 miles ago and no sign whatsoever of any uneven tyre wear. Great job, very happy.

From the courtesy call just minuts after order online, to the staff in the shop this is an A+ service, I have been ordering online tyres for a long time to know that the staff normally is not really friendly or helpful, but in tyre-smart the staff is the best you can find. I had my tyres changed and wheel alignment without appointment in the same day, at a really competitive price. I'll recommend it to everyone family and friends.
