Did You Know: The tires on your car wear at immensely different rates. Therefore rotating them on a regular schedule is your best defense to prevent the need to replace them early. A general guide to follow is to have them rotated every 5,000 miles or so.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you decide between repair and replacement?
We inspect the tire inside and out, then look at tread depth, damage location, and overall condition. If the puncture is in a repairable area and the structure is sound, we usually recommend repair. If safety could be affected, we explain why replacement is the better choice.
How long will tire service usually take?
Many tire visits can be completed the same day, although timing depends on the vehicle and the type of work. When you call or check in, we can give you an estimated timeframe. Our team works to keep appointments efficient while still performing thorough inspections.
Is it safe to drive on a slow leak?
Driving on a slow leak can quickly become unsafe if the tire loses more air than expected. Low pressure can damage the tire and affect handling. It is usually best to have the tire inspected as soon as you can so we can check for hidden problems.
Will I get a price before you start work?
Yes, we review our findings with you and provide an estimate before any repair or tire replacement begins. You will have the chance to ask questions and choose how to proceed. Our goal is that you feel comfortable with both the plan and the cost.
Can your team check all my tires at once?
We can look at all four tires during your visit, not only the one causing trouble. This helps spot early tread wear or age-related issues so you can plan ahead. Many drivers appreciate knowing the overall condition of their tires, not just the immediate concern.

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.
