Feel the seat humming once the A444 opens up past Coton Arches? One wheel is probably off balance. Our van carries the machine that fixes it to Weddington, Attleborough or Bermuda Park.
Around the Ropewalk ring road nothing feels wrong. It is on the A444 towards junction 3, the A5 past Dodwells and the A47 Long Shoot that a wheel out of balance announces itself, first as a hum through the floor and then as a shiver in the rim. Blame a weight flung off by the ring road kerbs, a pothole on the Long Shoot, or the Stockingford speed cushions taken at the wrong angle.
The wheel in question comes away and goes onto the machine the van brings. First spin locates the heavy point; weights are set exactly where the readout asks, clipped onto steel or stuck behind alloy spokes, and a repeat spin proves the job before torque goes back on the bolts. Give us the registration and say where the car stands, driveway or works car park, and cost is fixed by phone.
Driveways in Whitestone, St Nicolas Park and Weddington give the most room, while a unit car park at Bermuda Park suits a daytime slot. Terraces in Attleborough and Stockingford need a corner with space beside the car. Not on the A5 or the M69.

About wheel balancing nationwide → · Wheel balancing on the Nuneaton page
Keep it apart from other faults. Drift towards the kerb on Coventry Road, or a wheel you must hold crooked to travel straight, is alignment, a workshop matter and not ours. Shaking that only shows through the brake pedal belongs to the discs. Balancing follows new tyres, follows a repair that needed the tyre stripped from its rim, follows a lost weight, and answers a vibration locked to one pace.
A shake at speed near Nuneaton? The machine comes out to wherever the car is parked.
