Ballarat Wheel Alignments & Rotations
If your car keeps pulling to one side or the steering feels off, it’s not your imagination—it’s likely your wheel alignment. At ARB Budget Tyres in Ballarat, we handle precise wheel alignments using modern equipment and decades of hands-on experience.
Driving with poor alignment wears out tyres faster, puts pressure on suspension parts and even messes with fuel economy. Our wheel alignments correct angles down to the millimetre, restoring stability and steering response you can feel immediately. It’s a small adjustment that makes a big difference in how your vehicle drives.
We’ll explain what’s off, what needs fixing and why it matters—no guesswork, no sales spin. Book in today or get in touch with us on 0413 786 820 for an alignment that gets things pointing straight again.
Why Tyre Rotations Actually Matter
Tyres don’t wear evenly. Fronts take on the bulk of the braking, steering and turning—especially in front-wheel drive cars. That’s where regular rotations come in. Swapping tyres front to back (and sometimes diagonally) evens out wear and makes your tyres last longer.
If you’ve just bought new tyres, a regular rotation schedule helps keep your tread looking even and extends lifespan. If you’re noticing uneven wear or a rougher ride than usual, it might be time. Rotating tyres isn’t guesswork—it’s a job that needs to follow a specific pattern depending on your drive setup.
We’ll check tread depth, wear patterns and fitment while we’re at it. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to squeeze more life from every tyre.
How often should I get a wheel alignment?
Most cars benefit from an alignment every 10,000–15,000km, or at least once a year. However, if you’ve hit a pothole, bumped a kerb or noticed your steering wheel isn’t centred, it’s worth getting checked sooner.
Uneven tyre wear is another big giveaway. Regular alignments keep your car safe, efficient and easy to handle.
What are the signs of poor alignment?
Your car pulling to one side, a steering wheel that sits off-centre or tyres that wear unevenly on one edge are all common symptoms. You might also notice vibrations in the steering at higher speeds.
These issues don’t fix themselves, and the longer you drive misaligned, the more damage it can cause to tyres and suspension.
Is tyre rotation really necessary?
Yes, especially if you want to get the full life out of your tyres. Front and rear tyres wear differently based on braking force, engine position and weight distribution.
Rotating them regularly helps balance the wear and keeps traction consistent across all wheels. It’s a low-cost service that pays off in tyre life and performance.
