Loose wheel bearings on four wheel drives can be just adjusted, but unless they are pulled apart and inspected with seals replaced, this is what you could be missing!

A thorough inspection has prevented this car from possibly being stranded on the side of the road in a few hundred kms. The pictures below show the bearing rollers have begun to disintegrate, leaving metal fragments behind. All of the case hardening - which is meant to be a shiny silver -, has been worn off the outer race.

If you think your wheel bearings haven't been inspected in a while, call us today, make a booking and keep your wheels turning!

When you need car tyres serviced, repaired or changed, drive to TNT Auto Sparks in Nambucca Heads.

As tyres are constantly in contact with the road when you are driving, you should be aware what condition your tyres are in and when they are due for next regular service checkup. The easiest way is to simply give TNT Auto Sparks a call or reserve the time you will come in for a tyre service via our online booking form.

Our computerised wheel balancing machine will take care of the vibrations, further helping to reduce steering and suspension wear.

Quite a large number of tyres have to be replaced due to use while under-inflated, causing premature wear and breakage. To maintain tyre and your safety on the road you should check your tyre condition regularly.

At TNT Auto Sparks, we will inspect if the tread on each tyre is at least 1.6mm deep across the central three quarters of the tread width going around the complete circumference of the tyre. Then we will make sure that your tyres are correctly fitted to each axle, if they are the same size, type and structure. We will also inspect if there are any serious cuts or bulges on the tyres.

At Nambucca Heads tyre service by TNT Auto Sparks, our mechanics provide: 

all sizes of new high quality tyres from leading brands (Michelin, Bridgestone, Firestone, Dunlop, Toyo, Kumho, Pirelli, Continental, Goodyear, Yokohama, Hankook, Vredestein and more) 

When you pay attention and care to your tyres, they will reward you with prolonged life. Given the constant stress tyres are under each day, carrying the weight of the car across varying road conditions. When you make a habit of regularly inspecting your car at TNT Auto Sparks, you can be sure that accurate tyre pressure and regular maintenance will help you save a few minutes from your commute every day and a whole lot of money in long term car maintenance and repairs.

TNT Auto Sparks offers comprehensive tyre repairs and maintenance services. Whether performing a simple visual inspection, tyre rotation, ensuring proper air pressure, repairing a damaged tyre, fixing a flat, our mechanics help you to keep moving, enhance wheel safety and reduce fuel consumption.

If you experience a steering wheel vibration that can extend through your seat, or if your car tyres have an irregular wear pattern, your tyres may be out of balance. Regularly rotating your car tyres results in better gas mileage, longer tread life and a smoother, more enjoyable ride. Causing uneven and accelerated tread wear, misaligned wheels diminish the work life of your car tyres, whereas wheel and tyre balancing enables a safer drive along with better fuel economy and reduced tyre wear. In addition, properly aligned wheels improve driver safety and enhance your control of the vehicle on the road. When you need a dependable tyre service centre, whether your car tyres need to be rotated, balanced, repaired or replaced, be assured that TNT Auto Sparks mechanics got you covered for these and other car services, including Wheel Alignments and Wheel Balancing.
