Honda City March 2016 Tire Rotation Question And Battery question

[Mirr]

Hi all,

I have a March 2016 Honda City. The car has done 20,500 km. It is recommended that the car do a tyre rotation at 20,000 km where you swap front and back tyres. I want to know if it is necessary to get the wheel balancing and wheel alignment done after the rotation?

When I asked the question to the Honda showroom, they were very vague about what I should do, and they were of the opinion not to touch the wheel alignment/etc unless there was an actual issue with the car veering to the left/right etc. They gave me the impression that they were not confident about doing the wheel alignment on cars to be honest.

My second question is about the battery. Does anyone recall the amperage of the battery used in Honda City? I think the battery that came originally installed is an Exide. Should I get it specially from the Honda workshop, or are they expensive and I could get it cheaper elsewhere?

Thanks
Mir

Bro regarding rotation of tires, I would strongly recommend to follow instructions as per manual. If it is recommended in the user manual that the car undergoes tires rotation at 20,000 kms, you must do it.

Regarding wheel balancing / alignment, if car behaves perfectly (i.e. it neither wobbles, nor tilts towards any side, etc.), then there is no need for it. However, agar aap check karwa lein (just as a proactive approach), then behtar hi hai (Sometimes, alignment / balancing kuj na kuj out hui v hoti hai but pata nai chalta).
