What this service covers
About this service
Tyres are the only part of your vehicle touching the road, and on East Gippsland's mix of highway, back road and gravel they do a lot of work. Getting the right tyre for how you actually drive matters more than the badge on the sidewall.
Work covers new tyre supply and fitting, wheel balancing, rotation, pressure and tread inspection, valve replacement and puncture assessment. Tell us the vehicle, the roads you use and how much you tow or carry, and we'll recommend a suitable option rather than the most expensive one.
- Cars, wagons and SUVs
- Four-wheel drives running road, all-terrain or mud-terrain tyres
- Utes, vans and light commercials
- Trailers and farm vehicles

Problems this service helps with
If your vehicle is showing any of the following, the workshop can take a look.
Uneven or rapid tread wear
Slow leaks and repeated pressure loss
Punctures and sidewall damage
Tyres cracked or aged out of service
Vehicle pulling to one side
Checking your tyres
Look for tread worn close to the wear indicators, cuts or bulges in the sidewall, stones or objects in the tread, and cracking on older tyres. Uneven wear — one edge worn more than the other, or patchy wear — can point to pressure, alignment, suspension or balance issues worth having looked at.
Tyre pressure
Check pressures when the tyres are cold, using the figures on the tyre placard (usually on the driver's door frame). Under-inflated tyres wear faster on the edges and run hotter; loaded, towing and gravel driving may call for different pressures, which the placard or vehicle handbook will show.
Gravel roads and long trips
Gravel and rural roads chip tread and are hard on sidewalls. Before a long trip, check the tread, pressures (including the spare) and look for damage. A vibration through the steering wheel at speed can mean a wheel is out of balance or damaged, and is worth checking before you go.
What to expect
How the job runs at the workshop
Vehicle and usage check
Size, load rating, speed rating and how the vehicle is used determine the sensible options. We go through them with you.
Fitting and balancing
Tyres are fitted and balanced, valves checked, and pressures set for the vehicle rather than left at a generic figure.
Wear advice
You are told which tyres are worn, what caused the wear pattern, and when to rotate next.
