RIMS

SHOCKS

Shocks, or shock absorbers are important for your safety on the road. Their primary function is to keep your car’s wheels in contact with the road. Drivers have a tendency not to notice when their shocks wear out and this is a concern as most South African vehicles on the road are over three years old. This is when shock absorbers become less effective and worn shocks reduce the driver’s ability to control their car.

BestDrive Auto Tyre’s product and service offering is comprehensive and includes a range of quality shocks at affordable prices.

BATTERIES

When your battery fails, BestDrive Auto Tyres will test and if necessary, replace your battery professionally and quickly. BestDrive stocks an extensive rang of new car batteries from leading battery suppliers.

BestDrive Auto Tyres fitment centres’ product and service offering is comprehensive and includes a range of quality batteries at affordable prices.

WHEEL BALANCING

When a tyre is not balanced properly, it causes the vehicle to vibrate which results in uncomfortable driving and unnecessary wear and tear on expensive vehicle suspension parts. Failure to ensure that your wheels are properly balanced can result in the reduction of the lifespan of these parts. It furthermore causes irregular wear on your tyres that is not only expensive but reduces your personal safety.

At BestDrive Auto Tyres we have invested in a Hunter Smart Weight Laser Balancing machine that will ensure that you receive the most accurate and aesthetically pleasing results. We do Wheel balancing for passenger, industial and commercial vehicles.

BestDrive Auto Tyres recommends that you rotate your tyres, perform balancing and alignment on your wheels every 10 000 km’s.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

What is Wheel Alignment?

Proper wheel alignment sets all four wheels parallel that, in turn, ensures minimum rolling resistance. This plus proper inflation provides top efficiency for maximum kilometers.

Why should I do this?

You buy a set of tyres, and before long one or two tyres are wearing out before the others. On today’s cars, this applies to both rear and front tyres. The most common cause of unusual tyre wear is incorrect alignment. Incorrect tyre wear is both dangerous and costly.

When should I have my wheels aligned?

Does your car pull to one side? Do you constantly have to adjust the steering wheel to keep your car traveling straight ahead? These and other handling problems can generally be corrected by a four-wheel alignment check.

Why should I have my wheel’s aligned at BestDrive Auto Tyres?

Our wheel alignment technicians will complete a proper safety check of all vehicle suspension parts. By setting your wheel alignment without replacing worn suspension parts, you are reducing the effect of the wheel alignment. For a perfect result, wheel alignment should be done in conjunction with the replacement of any deficient suspension parts. At BestDrive Auto Tyres we do wheel alignment for passenger, industrial and commercial vehicles.

NITROGEN

Why fill your tyres with Nitrogen?

• Maintains pressures better: Tyre pressure is 4 times better because nitrogen is the slowest migrating gas through a tyre. Less top-up needed and less worry about your tyres.
• Tyres run at optimum temperature: Nitrogen is a pure, inert gas and does not retain heat. A tyre that won’t over-heat is a safer tyre.
• Extended tyre life by 20% or more: Tyres at the correct temperature and the correct pressure will give you maximum tyre life.
• Nitrogen is the answer: Did you know? A 20% under inflated tyre can reduce tyre life by approximately 30% and increase fuels consumption by up to 10%?

PUNCTURE REPAIR

At BestDrive Auto Tyres we will do a proper inspection and safety check of the tyre by removing it from the rim and doing an internal inspection of the tyre. If the tyre is merely plugged from the outside without removing it from the rim to inspect the inside of the tyre, the undetected internal damage done to the tyre could result in tyre failure at a later stage, possibly with disastrous results. After repairing the tyre internally, we will rebalance the tyre.

At BestDrive Auto Tyres, we will NOT repair any unroadworthy or unsafe tyres as your safety and the safety of others is our priority.
