Every time you have new tires or wheels installed, or have your seasonal tire change done, a team member at the store will ask you to come back the next business day or within 50 -100 kms to get your wheels re-torqued. It's free, it's fast, and it's very important for your safety. Here's why.

Re-torquing the wheels involves tightening the lug nuts to help ensure they're not too tight or too loose. Too tight, and the nuts can damage bolt threads, break fasteners or warp new rotors. Too loose, and your wheel could loosen and possibly fall off when you're driving. It's an incredibly unlikely scenario, but it would certainly put your safety at risk.

So with that being said if you had your wheels and tires installed at the Wheeldepot plus, please feel free to come back for a free, quick retorque. It takes a couple minutes and you don't need to make an appointment. The 5 minutes it takes can prevent a dangerous situation and also save you thousands of possible repair costs in the event of an incident.
