ZERO-SCRATCH TYRE FITTING
There is nothing worse than paying for a pristine wheel repair, only to have a careless tyre fitter scratch the rim with a pry bar the next day. That's why AWR operates a full-service tyre shop in-house.
We treat every wheel — whether it's a daily runabout or a freshly diamond-cut Porsche rim — with absolute precision. Our Grey Lynn workshop is equipped with touchless tyre mounting machines and dynamic balancers, ensuring your alloy and mag wheels remain flawless and your ride remains perfectly smooth.
WHY GET YOUR TYRES DONE AT AWR?
- The One-Stop Advantage: If your wheels are in for repair or a colour change, we can supply and fit new tyres at the same time. Your car is back on the road in one visit.
- Wheel Inspection: We inspect the wheel for any damage, corrosion, or rim issues before fitting — catching problems before they become tyre issues. If the wheel needs centre bore machining for a hub-centric fit, we can handle that in the same visit.
- Touchless Mounting: We use advanced mounting equipment that never allows metal tools to contact the face or lip of your alloy wheel.
- Dynamic Balancing: We use precision balancers and place adhesive wheel weights discreetly behind the spokes, never hammering ugly lead weights onto the outer lip.
- TPMS Safe: We carefully remove, protect, and re-pair your Tyre Pressure Monitoring Sensors so you don't drive away with warning lights on your dash.
- Final Check: Tyre pressures are set to manufacturer spec and the wheel is visually inspected before being returned to you.
TYRE SUPPLY FOR EVERY VEHICLE
We supply a full range of tyres to suit your driving style and budget. From high-performance Michelin and Pirelli rubber for weekend sports cars, to durable, cost-effective options for daily commuters and SUVs. We check size, load, and speed ratings to ensure the perfect match for your vehicle and NZ road conditions.
WHEEL & TYRE BALANCING IN AUCKLAND
An out-of-balance wheel causes vibration through the steering wheel, uneven tyre wear, and premature wear on wheel bearings and suspension components. It is one of the most common causes of a shaky ride — and one of the easiest to fix.
At AWR, we use precision computerised balancers and place adhesive wheel weights discreetly behind the spokes. No ugly lead weights hammered onto the outer lip. The result is a smooth, vibration-free ride and tyres that last longer.
If you are having your wheels repaired or refinished, we balance them as part of the same visit. No second trip to a tyre shop required.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO I HAVE TO BUY TYRES FROM YOU?
No. If you are having your wheels repaired, we will carefully remove your existing tyres and refit them once the repair is complete. However, if your tyres are worn, doing it all at once saves you a second trip to a tyre shop.
HOW MUCH DOES TYRE FITTING AND BALANCING COST?
Fitting and dynamic balancing is included in the price when you purchase new tyres from us. If you are bringing your own tyres to be fitted to freshly repaired wheels, we charge a standard, competitive fitting fee. Contact us for an exact price.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY WHEELS NEED BALANCING?
The most common signs are vibration through the steering wheel at highway speeds, uneven tyre wear, or a shudder that gets worse the faster you drive. If your car has recently had new tyres fitted elsewhere and you are still feeling vibration, it is worth having the balance checked. We can do this at the same time as any wheel repair or tyre fitting.
