Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If My Tire Can Be Repaired Or Needs Replacement?
The safest way to know is to have the tire inspected by a qualified technician. At Christian Brothers Automotive Alafaya, we assess the location, size, and condition of the damage, including the extent of tread wear. Punctures within the main tread area that meet size guidelines can often be repaired; however, damage to the sidewall or shoulder, or a severely worn tire, usually requires replacement instead.
We also check for signs that the tire was driven on while very low, which can create internal damage that is not visible from the outside. After our inspection, we explain our findings and show you the tire when possible. Our goal is to help you understand why a repair is or is not recommended so you can feel confident in the decision.
How Long Does Tire Installation Usually Take At Your Shop?
Most tire installation visits can be completed within a few hours, although timing can vary based on the number of tires, additional services requested, and how busy the shop is that day. During check in, our team provides a time estimate so you know what to expect. If we see anything unexpected during the inspection, we talk with you before adding work or time.
Many guests choose to use our complimentary shuttle service so they can continue with their day while we handle the tire work. We call you as soon as your vehicle is ready, and we are happy to discuss timing when you schedule so you can plan ahead.
Will You Explain My Tire Options In Terms I Can Understand?
Yes. We believe you should never feel pressured or confused about tire choices. Our team explains tread life, traction ratings, and other differences in everyday language, focusing on how each option fits the way you drive and your budget. We are always glad to answer questions about brands, features, or warranties.
Instead of using technical terms without explanation, we take the time to clarify what they mean for your daily driving. This approach reflects our commitment to transparency and to treating you like a neighbor, not a transaction.
What Kind Of Warranty Do You Offer On Tire Work?
Christian Brothers Automotive Alafaya offers an industry-leading warranty on qualifying services, including many types of tire-related work. The details of coverage can vary based on the specific service and products used, so our team explains how the warranty applies to your visit before you leave. This way, you understand what is covered and for how long.
We want you to feel confident that we stand behind the work our technicians perform. If you have questions about warranty coverage for a particular service, we encourage you to ask when scheduling or during your appointment so we can provide accurate, current information.
Can Your Team Check My Alignment Or Brakes While I Am Getting New Tires?
In many cases, we can review alignment and brake concerns during a tire visit. Because alignment and braking components have a direct impact on tire wear and overall safety, it often makes sense to look at these systems together. If you are interested in this, let us know when you schedule or when you arrive.
Our technicians can perform visual checks and, when appropriate, more detailed alignment measurements. If we see anything that may affect your new tires, we explain the findings and discuss recommended next steps. This helps support even tread wear and a more comfortable driving experience.
What Should I Do If I Get A Flat Tire Away From Home?
If you get a flat while driving, your first priority is safety. Carefully pull over to a secure spot away from traffic, turn on your hazard lights, and avoid standing close to the roadway. If you do not feel comfortable changing the tire yourself, contacting roadside assistance or a towing service is often the best option.
Driving on a completely flat tire can damage the tire and wheel, so it is usually better to have the vehicle transported to a shop. Once your vehicle reaches us, we can assess whether flat tire repair is possible or whether replacement is the safer choice. Our team then explains your options and helps you move forward.
Do I Need An Appointment For Flat Tire Repair, Or Can I Just Come In?
We encourage guests to call ahead when possible so we can plan for your arrival and provide an estimated timeframe. However, we understand that a flat tire does not always fit neatly into a schedule. If you bring your vehicle to the shop without an appointment, we work to assess it as soon as we reasonably can based on existing commitments.
When you call, we can let you know current wait times and discuss whether dropping off the vehicle or waiting on-site would be more convenient. Our team always aims to balance prompt service with the careful attention your vehicle deserves.

FAQs
-
Q. "How often should you rotate your tires?"As a general rule of thumb, we recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 - 6,000 miles (although your driving style and vehicle types should also be taken into consideration). Rotating front and rear tires helps to ensure your tread wears down more evenly, optimizing your tire performance and extending its lifespan.
-
Q. "How do I tell if I need my tires rotated?"If you notice uneven wear across your tires or vibrations when driving, it may be time for a rotation.
-
Q. "How long should my tires last?"Your tire’s lifetime in mileage will depend on your maintenance and driving habits. Your tires could last up to 60,000 miles if you take good care of them, but this mileage will decrease if you don’t perform regular tire rotations.
-
Q. "How do tire rotations make my tires last longer?"Tire rotations help prevent uneven wear amongst your tires. Thus, improving the lifespan and preventing any handling issues from a worn-out tire.
