In the automobile service industry, time and efficiency are essential for a superior client experience. When it comes to maintaining and servicing your vehicle, specialised equipment plays a crucial role. One such device, highly critical for any auto repair shop including Temby Auto Service, is a tyre changer machine.

A tyre changer machine is a specialised piece of equipment designed to assist mechanics in the tedious process of mounting and demounting tyres from vehicle wheels. They aid in removing old, worn out tyres and mounting new ones onto the rim effortlessly. It minimises the requirement of manual labour and makes the task safer and quicker.

Being an established service centre, providing reliable services in Eltham, Victoria, since 1985, Temby Auto Service values quality, speed, and safety above all else. This dedication to service excellence extends to the machinery used in our repair centre. That's where our state-of-the-art tyre changer machines step in. These machines allow us to expedite tyre replacement services, leading to quick turnaround times, thus meeting and exceeding our customer's expectations.

Once the tyre has been removed from the vehicle, it is placed onto the machine which effectively dislodges the old tyre from the rim, assuring no scuffs or unintended deformation to your rims. Then it smoothly fits on the new tyre onto the rim. Again, it carefully guards against any unwanted force that could distort the rim or tyre, a mark of its advanced mechanics.

Once fitted, the tyre is then placed on a Wheel Balancer. Utilising intricate calibrations, the machine accurately balances the wheel by adding small weights to specific points on the rim to avoid any erratic wobble or steering behaviour, bolstering both ride quality and tyre lifespan.

Any time you have your car serviced or it undergoes suspension and brake repairs it is always wise to have your wheel alignment inspected. Wheels can go out of alignment for several reasons like pot holes, curbs or off road driving so a minimum check once a year will increase the lifespan of your tyres and provide an optimal drive.

Temby Auto Service emphasises the importance of regular tyre changes. Just as crucial as keeping your engine serviced or air conditioning in optimal condition, tyre maintenance can profoundly impact the performance and safety of your vehicle. So when your vehicle is due for a tyre change, you know your wheels are in reliable hands at Temby Auto Service.

For quick, safe, and efficient tyre replacement services, put your trust in our tyre changer machines and enjoy the drive on your freshly changed tyres. Keep Rolling with Temby Auto Service

What is a tyre Changer? Tyre Services at Temby Auto Service

Unveiling the Magic of Tyre Changer Machines at Temby Auto Service

If you want to keep the fuel efficiency and performance of your vehicle in check, maintaining your tyres is essential.

With this in mind, here are 3 easy tips for keeping your tyres in good nick!

A tyre rotation technique is a fantastic way to ensure you get a smooth economical ride through even tyre wear. Due to car load and road friction the front tyres tend to wear faster than the back, so by replacing the front tyres with the back once in their lifetime means you can enhance our tyres' lifespans. Whether you buy budget tyres or expensive ones, tyre rotation is equally beneficial.

To keep your tyres in good health, maintaining optimum tyre pressure is paramount. This will increase the lifespan of our tyres, keep your car in control when you are driving and provide greater fuel efficiency because low tyre pressure consumes more fuel.

It is important to note that tyre pressure is not determined by the type of tyre nor its size, but rather upon our vehicle's load and speed. To find out what your tyre pressure should be, consulting the manufacture tyre placard - often found inside the driver's door, in the glove box, inside the fuel filter cap or under the bonnet - can give you information on recommended tyre pressure. The placard also displays the manufacturer's recommended tyre sizes.

NB: When checking the pressure of your tyres, you should check them when they are cold, as pressure increases when the tyres become hot.

Uneven tyre wear can throw off the alignment of your vehicle. This results in reduced fuel efficiency, an uneven ride and causes safety issues. To find out if you are due for a wheel alignment see "How to Recognise if our Car Needs a Wheel Alignment". If your car is showing clear signs of uneven alignment, booking it into a mechanic to get your alignment fixed will further help maintain your tyres.

If you find signs of cracks on our tyres, a puncture or any other damage, getting your tyres repaired rather than replaced can sometimes be a cheaper alternative and help stretch out the lifespan of your tyres. Whilst there are tyre repair kits on the market, sometimes it is worth paying a little extra to get it fixed by a professional to ensure a sound repair. Always shop around for the best price point.

By maintaining your tyres you can help to maximise your vehicle's fuel efficiency and minimise its impact on the environment.

4 Easy Tips to Maintain your Car Tyres

4 Easy Things to do to maintain your car tyres

Something as simple as a wheel alignment not only ensures optimal driveability of our beloved cars, but in the long run can end up saving you a lot of money.

An alignment brings our car's suspension into the correct positioning so that our wheels are aligned with one another and the road surface. The best news is a misalignment is relatively easy to spot!

You should be able to tell how they are wearing just by looking at them. Tyres should wear evenly on all sides. Uneven or fast tyre wear is a clear sign that your car's alignment is off. To double check, running your hands over them can give you a good indication. If they're uneven, a wheel alignment will help ensure a smooth drive and save you money with longer lasting tyres.

Hot TIP: Removing junk from the boot is an easy step to prevent tyre wear and your car's alignment from being thrown off. Maintaining the recommended air pressure in your tyres is also essential, as under-inflated tyres can cause your vehicle to pull to one side. Avoiding uneven road conditions will also reduce the risk of throwing out your car's alignment. These are all simple steps you can take that don't cost a cent, can save you money in the long run and keep you safer on the roads.

Here is what else you need to look out for - your alignment is probably off if any of the following indicators are present:

Your steering wheel isn't centered when driving straight;

Your vehicle is pulling to the left or right when driving and/or

Your steering wheel vibrates when driving.

If you notice any of the symptoms above or you have problems with handling the vehicle or notice your tyres seem to be wearing unevenly, pop onto Temby Auto Service and we will check over the vehicle to see where the problem lies.
