The A46 Warwick bypass and Longbridge Island at M40 junction 15 are where Warwick drivers first sense an unbalanced wheel. The balancer travels to Chase Meadow, Warwick Gates or Woodloes Park.
Warwick's medieval core, with castle traffic and coaches, keeps speeds too low for most balance faults to show. The A46 bypass north towards Kenilworth and south towardsM40ratford is another story, as is the M40 from Longbridge Island at junction 15. There a light shimmy through the steering suggests a front wheel, while a rumble under the seat suggests a rear, and uneven tread wear follows if nothing is done.
Saltisford's deep one-way kerbs and the humps along Coventry Road are Warwick's usual culprits for a knocked-off weight. Any new tyre is balanced when fitted, and a wheel needs rebalancing after its tyre has been removed for a repair. Give the CV34 or CV35 address, describe whether your hands or your back pick up the buzz, note the day it started, and the price is agreed before a slot is booked.
Driveways in Chase Meadow, Warwick Gates and Woodloes Park, a Packmores street with room, or the St Nicholas Park car park. The permit-controlled Market Place and castle car parks are tight, and nobody works beside the A46.

About wheel balancing nationwide → · Wheel balancing on the Warwick page
At a Warwick Gates drive or a Packmores street, the car is jacked and each wheel spun on the balancer carried inside the van. The machine reads the imbalance and shows where to fix weights, a final spin verifies the reading, and the wheel is torqued back on. Pulling, or a tread worn down on one edge, lies beyond balancing; those point to alignment, which is not offered.
