| ![]() Just wanted to check if the one on JC road is the same? Am planning to go there tomorrow. Can Nikhil, or someone, confirm? |

| ![]() I visited Madhus yesterday for tyre replacement and wheel alignment. Initially called the JC road shop and got a cheaper quote than Langford Rd for the Michelin XM2s. So, went there and was greeted by Mr. Rocky. Very courteous and nice person. He called up Langford Rd centre for getting the XM2s. When I told him I need to do the alignment as well, he suggested that I could go to Langford Rd for both the fitment and alignment, and he would make the bill here and charge the earlier quoted amount itself! That's like having the cake and eating it too. ![]() He even sent a person to accompany me to the shop as I wasn't familiar with the route from there. Big thumbs up for customer care there, good sir. Experience at Langford Rd was very positive, as is the norm. Outstanding equipment, courteous and knowledgeable staff and technicians who explain and answer every query patiently. Was able to learn a great deal about the Road-force machine and how it works. ![]() Michelin XM2 195/60 R15 ![]() Wheel Alignment ![]() Steering was off-center by 0.1deg. Was corrected in 2 mins. I asked him how he did it and he patiently showed me the tie rod adjustment. ![]() P.S : The note saying "Alignment check within 1000 kms or 15 days". Is it necessary to do alignment that frequently? I thought it was somewhere around every 3000 kms or so. |

| ![]() If you have any issues after alignment and want to re-check the values, you can utilise the service. Done free of cost. Post that it is on a chargeable basis. |

Infractions: 0/1 (7) | ![]() Hi Nikhil, My Nissan Terrano which has done 33,000 kilometres had its wheels balanced and tyres rotated in Bosch in April when it had around 29,500 on the odo. However there is a slight wobbling at speeds of about 130. I had visited Madhus to get the tyres balanced again (as most probably Bosch had done a shoddy job). After inspecting the front left tyre on the WB machine, your technician informed me that there is a tyre sealant in it (as I am the second owner of the car, the first owner must have done it), hence the WB is ineffective. He also said that in all likelihood the sealant would be in all four tyres and an ASC needs to remove them completely and then get the balancing done. Or he suggested I just continue driving for now as in another 10 or 12 thousand kilometres it will be time to replace the tyres anyway. I read somewhere on this forum that these sealants can damage the rims and unbalanced tyres can lead to suspension issues. Do I need to be concerned? |

| ![]() Hi Nikhil, was expecting Bridgestone but my Nexon comes with Goodyear 215 60R16. Was surprised to see this and am trying to have it changed at dealer level. Do I stick to stock brand and size or move to Yoko as I'm not going in for Michelin ever again. Should I upsize? |

| ![]() Quick Question: Will going to Madhus for just Wheel Balancing (one of the weights fell off my car tyre) & Alignment check (no issues there so far) work out cheaper than the Hyundai Service Centre? If so, I can skip these when I get my car serviced this week and rather visit Madhus. |

You can get it done at Madhus once the service is over and get the tyres rotated and balanced as per your requirement. | |

| ![]() To be honest, I have not faced an occasion where I had to scan the items of the bill hence I am not sure about the cost using roadforce. However I vaguely remember the technician telling me that the regular machine costs Rs 50 per wheel and road force Rs 75, or Rs 100. My overall bill for WA/WB/WR has not crossed 1000 till date(every 10k kms) and for WA/WR it has not exceeded 400. From the day they introduced road force, I have always opted for it. I think Nikhil is the best person to clarify if it is allowed to do so here. I would be paying a visit soon to get my SX4 done but am waiting for some part to arrive. Can update on the latest costs. |
