More Than Just Brakes—We Know Wheel Systems Too

While we’ve built our reputation as Tallahassee’s brake specialists, many of our customers also come to us for problems that affect their wheels—and rightly so. Issues like vibrations, uneven tire wear, and wobbly handling are often closely related to brake or CV axle problems, both of which we diagnose and repair daily.

We don’t perform full tire replacements or balancing, but we can identify and repair common wheel issues that interfere with safety and driving comfort.

What We Do—Wheel-Related Services

We inspect and service several critical wheel components that can cause symptoms such as pulling, shaking, or clunking sounds. Our services include:

Wheel Bearing Inspections

Wheel bearings allow your wheels to rotate smoothly with minimal friction. Over time, they can wear out or become damaged—leading to humming, grinding, or loose steering.

If we suspect a faulty bearing during your brake or axle inspection, we’ll let you know and recommend safe, cost-effective solutions.

Lug Nut & Wheel Stud Repairs

Stripped or broken lug nuts and wheel studs are more than an inconvenience—they’re a safety risk. We’ll inspect your wheel mounting hardware and replace worn or damaged components to ensure your wheels are secure and properly torqued.

CV Axle Diagnostics

The CV (Constant Velocity) axle connects your vehicle’s transmission to the wheels, transferring power while allowing for flexibility in movement. If your wheels are clicking during turns or vibrating under acceleration, the issue may not be your tires—it could be the axle.

We provide full CV axle diagnostics and replacements to restore smooth wheel rotation and vehicle control.

Vibration & Noise Diagnosis

Shaking at high speeds? Odd sounds coming from the wheels? We’ll help pinpoint the cause. These issues may stem from:

  • Rotor warping
  • Loose caliper hardware
  • Worn CV joints
  • Faulty bearings
  • Out-of-balance wheels (we’ll refer out if necessary)

We’ll inspect your braking and wheel components thoroughly and let you know the exact source of the issue.

Common Signs Your Wheels Need Inspection

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to book an appointment:

Steering wheel shakes while braking

Vehicle pulls to one side

Humming, grinding, or clicking sounds

Vibration at certain speeds

Uneven tire wear

Clunking noises when turning

These symptoms may not be caused by your tires themselves—often, they indicate deeper issues with your brake or axle system.
