Trusted by drivers from Easton (NR9) and across Norwich & Norfolk. Our Ber Street garage is just 5 miles west of Easton via the A47 and Longwater Retail Park area.
Industrial estate roads around Easton carry surface damage and debris that impact wheel rims, while the A47 Longwater junction involves kerb-heavy lane changes where balance weights get knocked off. Vibration through the steering at speed is the clearest symptom. Our computerised balancing measures each wheel precisely and corrects weight distribution across all four corners, restoring ride comfort and preventing the uneven centre-wear that imbalance causes.
Easton's ongoing construction expansion means College Road and the village approach roads regularly carry heavy building materials lorries, and the road surface on some approach roads has suffered accordingly. Debris from construction sites - particularly gravel and stone chippings - creates impact events that can dislodge balancing weights, and temporary road surfaces around active build sites have uneven joints. Vehicles turning regularly between the A47/B1108 and Easton's new estate roads also encounter kerbed turning areas during active construction phases.
Construction-route road damage around Easton is one of the specific causes of balance weight loss we see in vehicles from this area. We balance all four wheels and check rims for impact marking, restoring smooth running on the A47 approaches. If you've noticed vibration developing since construction work started near your route, it's worth getting it checked promptly. Call 07933 900901 to book; from Easton follow the B1108 or A47 east for 5 miles to our Ber Street garage.
Easton drivers trust our balancing work because we use computerised equipment and check for underlying rim or tyre problems before correcting.
From Easton join the A47 eastbound and follow it into Norwich, about 6 miles and a 10-minute drive in normal traffic. The A47 takes you directly to the city's western approach; follow ring road signs and then Ber Street. Castle Mall multi-storey is a two-minute walk from the garage if on-street parking is busy.
The varied road surface quality between Easton and Norwich means vehicles from Easton experience a mix of well-maintained A-road and rougher B-road sections. Pothole impacts and the surface changes at parish boundaries are a common cause of weight displacement on the A47 western bypass and the connecting B-roads.
We use computerised dynamic balancing equipment, which measures imbalance in both the static and dynamic planes simultaneously. Small weights are attached to the rim at precisely calculated positions to counteract the imbalance. The process takes 15 to 20 minutes per wheel and should be repeated whenever vibration returns, typically every 12,000 miles or after any significant kerb strike or pothole impact.
Wheel balancing is included as standard with every tyre fitting at our garage. For Easton drivers whose wheels are already fitted but showing vibration, we offer standalone balancing at a competitive rate. Vibration at speed is not just uncomfortable, it is a sign of tyre wear being distributed unevenly, shortening tyre life measurably. Call 07933 900901 to book a balancing check, which takes under an hour from arrival to driving away.
Balancing all four wheels typically takes 30-45 minutes. We use computerised balancing equipment that precisely identifies where weight needs to be added.
We recommend balancing whenever you fit new tyres, after any significant pothole impact, and if you notice vibration. A balance check every 10,000-12,000 miles is good practice for high-mileage vehicles.
Clip-on balance weights can be knocked off by kerbs or road debris. Stick-on weights fitted to the inside of the rim are better protected. Ask us about this option if you're regularly losing weights.
Yes, if your wheels were significantly out of balance, you'll notice a reduction in steering wheel vibration almost immediately after balancing. The improvement in ride comfort can be dramatic on vehicles where the imbalance was severe.
The most common causes are pothole strikes, kerb impacts, accidents, and natural wear in steering and suspension components over time. On UK roads, particularly in Norfolk where road quality varies, misalignment can develop relatively quickly.
