Retorque Your Wheels For Safe Driving And Peace Of Mind!
Have you had any type of service done on your wheels? "Retorque" means re-tightening your wheel lug nuts or bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specs.
Our mobile retorque service can be requested at home. Instead of driving your vehicle to a shop, you can simply call roadside assistance to come over and retorque your wheels.
Planning a long trip with your vehicle? Again, it might be a good idea to ensure that your wheels' lug nuts (or bolts) are properly torqued, and the tires are properly inflated. You can save a lot of time with our retorque service, we will come to your location, inspect your wheels, retorque them, and inflate your tires.
Our retorque service has become more and more popular in the past months since many customers prefer the comfort and safety of their home in order to save time and avoid crowded locations.
What happens if your wheels were not properly installed and the manufacturer's recommended torque setting was not applied to your vehicle's wheel lug nuts or bolts?
If your rims don't exactly match your vehicle's bolt pattern and hub bore, they will vibrate when driving loosening the lug nuts or bolts, or even breaking your studs, and the wheel will fly off then you're driving. The same will happen if the lug nuts or bolts are not tightened to the recommended torque.
In time, the lug nuts and bolts, as wells as the studs will collect dirt, rust and after a while, even the thread can be damaged, resulting in insufficient torque applies when tightening them. It takes lots of wheel tech experience to notice those things and properly torque the wheels on your vehicle, especially when a little more torque is required to ensure proper tightening and safe driving.
It is not a bad idea to have your wheels' lug nuts or bolts retightened before and after a long trip, or even regularly (for example every 3 months), to ensure that everything is in order with your wheels.
Luckily, Sparky Express provides retorque service to customers in Toronto, Markham, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa for only $50!
