If you’re running a garage or workshop, you already know that a reliable wheel balancing machine is a core piece of kit. At Tyre Bay Direct, we supply wheel balancer machines from some of the biggest names in the industry, at prices that make sense for independent workshops. Whether you need a no-fuss manual hand-spin model or a fully automatic machine that’ll fly through a full day’s worth of wheels, we’ve got you covered.
Need to kit out the whole workshop? Check out our tyre equipment packages. These pair a wheel balancer with a tyre changer and it’s one of the most popular ways our customers save money.

Choosing the Right Wheel Balancing Machine
There’s no single best wheel balancer machine in our range, it really just depends on how busy you are and what your space looks like, in addition to how much you want to spend.
While manual wheel balancers are the most budget-friendly option, entering the dimensions by hand takes a bit longer. On the plus side, they’re straightforward, compact and very reliable. If you’re running a smaller workshop or a mobile tyre fitting service, a manual hand-spin wheel balancer is likely all you’ll ever need.
Semi-automatic wheel balancers are a step up from that. The arm reads the offset and rim diameter automatically, you just enter the rim width. They’re quicker and they cut down on input errors, which makes these options a solid middle ground for busy independent garages.
Fully automatic wheel balancers do everything for you. All three measurements are taken automatically, which makes a real difference when you’re stacking wheels all day. If wheel balancing is going to be a key service in your workshop, a fully automatic machine will pay for itself quickly.
One thing worth knowing is that accuracy is the same across all three types of wheel balancers. The difference is purely in speed and convenience. The more you’re paying, the less time you’re spending per wheel, it’s as simple as that.
Hand Spin vs. Motorised
On top of how data is entered, wheel balancer machines also differ in how the wheel gets spinning. Hand-spin models need a manual push to get going before the motor takes over. They’re the most compact option around, so ideal if you’re tight on space or running a mobile setup from a van.
Motorised models handle everything automatically from the press of a button so they’re smoother to use day-to-day and worth the small extra outlay if you’re in a fixed workshop doing regular volumes.

Great after sales service...
I had an issue with the tyre changer, rang for help, got a video call back within minutes and then received a live walk through the problem talking me through the actions required to rectify.
I also enquired about operating instructions for the balancer as I was struggling to understand some of the written ones. I then got a live training session on the video call followed up with a link to a training video in a message.
Excellent after sales service from Neal.
Great customer service and responsive...
Great customer service and responsiveness. I was dealing with a gentleman named Neal, who was very responsive to my phone calls, answered all my questions, and provided me with solutions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and will use his excellent service in the future. Keep up the good work, guys.
Quality of service...
Anthony has now dealt with my orders on 2 occasions, very helpful and polite and noticed our previous order ... can’t recommend more he knows his equipment from the conversation had, haven’t needed to use the “help or after service” but certainly wouldn’t think twice of doing with how Anthony has dealt with anything we asked from enquiry to buying. Top class service delivery over Xmas 2019 was as agreed and the delivery driver was top class in rush hour so made him a brew minus the bacon butty as we had none left!! Give the guys a pay rise but price increase.
Thanks again look forward to purchasing from you soon. 100% service from start to end.
