What should you do after having your wheels serviced?

After having your wheels serviced, it is important to have the securement of the wheels rechecked after driving a short distance, typically between 80 km and 160 km. This interval allows for any potential settlement or adjustments needed after the initial installation. The wheel nuts or bolts may loosen slightly as the materials adjust under load and vibration, and rechecking them ensures that they are properly secured, minimizing the risk of wheel detachment while driving.

This practice is particularly important for maintaining safety, as improperly secured wheels can lead to hazardous driving conditions. The process fosters proactive vehicle maintenance and contributes to overall road safety. Regularly rechecking the wheel securement is a standard practice in vehicle maintenance protocols, especially after new installations or services.
