Shock Testing

Push down on a corner of the vehicle a few times to get it to bounce and then stop pushing and see how much it continues to bounce before stopping. A good shock absorber should stop the bouncing right away.
Move the front or rear of the vehicle up and down quickly. If the vehicle does not come to rest almost immediately, bring your vehicle into our shop for further testing.
Judge their performance by accelerating hard and then braking hard. If the rear end keeps bouncing, your rear shocks may be worn.
Test them by hand. If you begin to sense any variation in the components’ function, it shows that one or more of the shocks may be bad.

Servicing

Servicing your vehicle is a critical component of car maintenance, ensuring smooth, efficient, and safe operation all year round. Similar to how our bodies require check-ups, cars need consistent servicing. Adhering to the manufacturer’s service schedule is vital. Regular servicing can identify problems early on, simplifying and reducing repair costs. Ignoring service schedules may result in unforeseen breakdowns, posing risks to the driver, passengers, and other motorists. Regular vehicle servicing is a wise investment for safety, durability, and overall peace of mind.

Wheel Balancing

Wheel balancing is the process of equalizing the weight of the combined tyre and wheel assembly so that it spins smoothly at high speed.

If you feel any vibration through your steering wheel while driving, it is usually one of the front wheels that are out of balance. If you feel a similar vibration underneath your seat, it could be one or both of the rear wheels. We can easily check that for you so why not give us a call or pop into the shop and we can fix it right there and then.

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment refers to the angle at which the tyres are set on the vehicle, ensuring maximum road contact. It encompasses three primary measurements: caster, camber, and toe. The goal of wheel alignment is to extend tyre life and ensure the vehicle drives straight on a level road. Proper alignment affects the suspension system, and making adjustments can guarantee a smooth ride with minimal wear on the tyres. At TTA we’ve recently invested in a state of the art wheel alignment machine. We are very proud to say we have the very best equipment available to ensure your vehicle tracks true.
