What Is Mobile Wheel Balancing?
Mobile wheel balancing is the process of correcting uneven weight distribution around your wheels and tyres. When a wheel spins, even a few grams of imbalance can create strong vibrations at motorway speeds. Our service uses professional electronic equipment to measure imbalance and apply precision weights, ensuring a perfectly smooth rotation.
What Causes Wheels to Go Out of Balance?
Wheels naturally lose balance over time due to normal wear and tear. Each tyre wears slightly differently depending on road conditions, weight distribution and driving style. A single pothole impact, hitting a kerb or carrying heavy loads can quickly knock your wheels out of balance. Temperature changes and tyre pressure variations also contribute. Even brand new tyres can be slightly uneven from the factory, which is why balancing is always required after fitting. Regular wheel balancing prevents vibrations, protects your suspension and keeps your tyres wearing evenly throughout their lifespan.
Why Wheel Balancing Is Important?
Driving with unbalanced wheels can affect your comfort, safety and tyre lifespan. Even small imbalances cause shaking, vibrations and unnecessary stress on your car’s suspension components.
Smoother & safer driving
Unbalanced wheels cause the steering wheel to shake at 40–70 mph. Balancing eliminates vibrations instantly.
Longer tyre life
Balancing prevents uneven wear and saves money by extending tyre lifespan.
Protects suspension components
Vibrations over time damage shocks, bearings and steering parts.
Better fuel efficiency
Balanced wheels reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel economy.
How Wheel Balancing Helps You on Motorway Speeds
When driving above 50–60 mph, even a small imbalance in your wheels becomes extremely noticeable. The faster your wheels spin, the stronger the vibration gets, creating a shaky steering wheel and an uncomfortable driving experience. Many drivers mistake these vibrations for suspension or alignment problems, but in most cases the root cause is simply unbalanced wheels. By balancing your wheels properly, we ensure every wheel rotates evenly, reducing vibration, improving control and making your motorway journeys smoother and safer. This is especially important in North West London where drivers constantly deal with uneven roads, potholes and speed bumps.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile Wheel Balancing
How do I know if my wheels need balancing?
If your steering wheel shakes at speeds above 40–50 mph, or if you notice uneven tyre wear, humming noises or vibration through the seats or floor, your wheels likely need balancing.
How long does mobile wheel balancing take?
Most vehicles take around 20-30 minutes, depending on wheel size and condition. Our mobile technicians work efficiently and bring all equipment needed to complete the job at your location.
Do I need wheel balancing after fitting new tyres?
Yes. Every new tyre must be balanced, even if it appears perfectly round. Tyres and rims never weigh exactly the same all around, so balancing is essential after installation.
Can unbalanced wheels damage my car?
Yes. Ignored vibrations put extra stress on suspension components, wheel bearings, bushes and shocks. Over time, this can lead to expensive mechanical repairs.
Can you balance wheels anywhere?
Absolutely. We offer mobile wheel balancing at your home, workplace, roadside, car park or anywhere safe and accessible in North West London and surrounding areas.
