We offer a range of servicing options which our technicians will carry out at your convenience <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
A full service consists of a 35 point safety & health check of your car. We also change the oil and oil filter. A set of spark plugs as well as an air filter are replaced or if it is a diesel model a fuel filter is changed. <\/p>
It is important to change these filters at regular intervals as they allow your engine to run as economically as possible saving you on fuel costs.<\/p>
The 35 point check is important as we will highlight any areas where wear and tear have caused a deterioration in the integrity of a vital component be it in your steering or braking system<\/p>

Modern braking systems consist of front and rear brake pads in conjunction with brake discs to convert the kinetic energy by friction and slow the car.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In disc brake applications, there are usually two brake pads per brake disc held in place and actuated by a caliper affixed to a wheel hub or suspension upright. When the brakes are hydraulically applied, the caliper clamps or squeezes the two pads together into the spinning disc to slow\/stop the vehicle.<\/p>
Sometimes a loud noise or high pitched squeal occurs when the brakes are applied. Most brake squeal is produced by vibration of the brake components, if this occurs our quick examination can provide the solution. We stock the highest quality brake pads and discs expertly fitted by our staff to quickly get you back on the road.<\/p>","img":"https:\/\/tyresdublin.ie\/Images\/icons\/brakes.png","created_at":"2018-02-21 00:06:26","updated_at":"2018-02-21 00:06:26"},{"id":4,"name":"Electrical","slug":"electrical","body":"
The main components of your car\u2019s electrical system are the battery, starter motor and alternator. The battery provides power to the starter. Then, the alternator gives that battery the energy it needs to power your car. If one of these parts is not working properly, your car won\u2019t start or run correctly. <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Our expert technicians can perform an electrical system check to ensure everything is working properly. It pinpoints any problems that may occur with your electrical system. If our technicians find a problem, they\u2019ll let you know what they can do to fix it.\r\n\r\n We can curb any problem before it starts, so you won\u2019t be left stranded with a non-starting vehicle.<\/p>","img":"https:\/\/tyresdublin.ie\/Images\/icons\/electrical.png","created_at":"2018-06-20 00:49:31","updated_at":"2018-06-20 00:49:31"},{"id":5,"name":"Steering","slug":"steering","body":"
Your steering system is made up of various components working together to ensure your car stays straight on the road.<\/p>
The Track Rod End and Inner Tie Rod, ensure quick response from your steering to your wheels. Together with the ball joints, track rod ends make sure the car steers left and right. The track rod ends are attached to either end of the steering rack and act as pivot points for the steering. Your vehicle needs a high quality track rod end to be fitted securely. Maintaining your track rod ends is essential to ensure seamless transmission and responsive steering.
<\/p>
Correct four wheel alignment will prevent premature tyre wear, reduce rolling resistance and reduce fuel consumption. By correctly adjusting the steering and suspension many handling problems such as steering wander, pulling, misalignment of steering wheel can be rectified. Alignment provides improved driving, safety and comfort.
<\/p>
Anti-roll bar links are an important element in your cars suspension. They securely fasten the anti roll bar to the undercarriage of your vehicle. The function of the anti roll bar is the reduction of body lean. Anti roll bar links are quick and relatively inexpensive to replace.

Your car's suspension usually only mentioned when there is an issue but it has an important role to play.<\/p>
A healthy suspension system will keep your car in close contact with the road helping in turn your steering and braking ability.<\/p>
This helps ensure a more comfortable and safe journey especially over rougher road conditions.

Suspension with three basic components \u2013 ball joints, shock absorbers and springs <\/span><\/p> Ball joints are the pivot between the wheels and the suspension of your car. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The role of shock absorbers is to keep each of your four tyres in constant contact with the road. When you drive over a bump, the car\u2019s springs are compressed, to enable control of the vehicle. Shock absorbers act as a dampener, to stop this bouncing movement and ease the various changes to the road condition. In a vehicle, shock absorbers reduce the effect of travelling over rough ground, leading to improved ride quality and increase in comfort. Shock absorbers use oil and gasses to absorb excess energy from the springs. <\/p>","img":"https:\/\/tyresdublin.ie\/Images\/icons\/suspension.png","created_at":"2018-02-21 00:08:56","updated_at":"2018-02-21 00:08:56"},{"id":7,"name":"General","slug":"general","body":" There are many areas of general maintenance so we have listed 4 of the more common services we perform<\/p> Headlight alignment is an important element of general road safety as it ensures your lights are not dazzling for other road users. We supply and fit towbars for most makes and models. We only fit the highest quality EU approved towbars<\/p> The most common cause of a flat tyre is the puncturing of the tyre by a sharp object, such as a nail, thereby letting air escape. We use the patch method of puncture repair, having a policy against patching should the tyre\u2019s tread be below what would be considered legal.<\/p> Incorrect wheel balancing will cause a car to vibrate at certain speeds, usually between 80 and 120 Km\/h. A wheel is out of balance when one section of the tyre is heavier than the others. To balance a wheel, the technician will mount it on a balancing machine which spins the wheel to locate the heavier part. He will then compensate for the heavy part by attaching a lead weight on the opposite side. <\/p>","img":"https:\/\/tyresdublin.ie\/Images\/icons\/general.png","created_at":"2018-02-21 00:07:29","updated_at":"2018-02-21 00:07:29"},{"id":8,"name":"Servicing","slug":"servicing","body":" We offer a range of servicing options which our technicians will carry out at your convenience <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> A full service consists of a 35 point safety & health check of your car.
