Fleetgo Heavy Duty’s Tire Repair Services For Your Vehicles
Tire Patches and Plugs
If you have a punctured tire, the first solution that may come to mind is a patch or a plug. A patch is a small piece of rubber that is glued to the inside of the tire where the puncture occurred. On the other hand, a plug is a small rubber plug that is inserted into the punctured area of the tire. Both solutions are temporary and should only be used if the puncture is small and not on the sidewall of the tire.
Tire Replacement
If a tire cannot be repaired or has reached the end of its lifespan, tire replacement is necessary. At Fleetgo Heavy Duty, we offer a wide selection of high-quality tires from trusted brands to ensure that your heavy-duty truck has the right tires for your specific needs.
Wheel Balancing
Wheel balancing is the process of ensuring that the weight distribution is even around the circumference of the wheel and tire assembly. This helps to prevent vibrations and uneven tire wear. Our technicians use advanced equipment to ensure that your wheels are properly balanced.
Wheel Alignment
Proper wheel alignment is important for even tire wear, good handling, and overall safety. Misaligned wheels can cause the vehicle to pull to one side and increase tire wear. Our technicians use advanced equipment to accurately align your wheels to the manufacturer's specifications.
