Dual carriageway miles on the A404 bypass, Bisham roundabout up to Handy Cross, soon expose a wheel that is out of balance. The balancing machine arrives on our van and works beside your car.
Marlow drivers join the A404 at the Bisham roundabout for the M4 or climb to M40 junction 4 at Handy Cross, then hold a steady pace for miles. That is where a wheel with uneven weight produces a shake through the steering or the seat. The riverside A4155 to Henley and Bourne End, tight kerbs along the High Street and potholes in Marlow Bottom supply the knocks that move or strip balance weights.
Out comes the wheel, onto the balancer bolted inside the van, and the machine starts to turn it. Its readout says how unevenly the mass is spread and marks the places on the inner and outer rim lip that need a weight. With those fixed, a further run proves the wheel has settled, and it is returned to the hub and torqued. Tyre fitting always includes it, and a puncture repair in Marlow should too. Price is agreed first by phone.
Marlow Bottom and Marlow Common have open roads and drives. The High Street and the streets towards the river are short-stay and permit, so a paid bay in Pound Lane or Riley Road suits a town-centre job better.

Alignment, meaning the angles the wheels point at, is not something Rescue Tyres offers. Should a Marlow car creep towards the verge on the A308 to Maidenhead, or wear away a single tyre edge, the answer is a garage with an alignment rig. A balancing fault feels different: a rhythmic vibration growing with speed while the steering stays straight, and that is fixed in SL7 from the van.
