Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a tire rotation?
We recommend getting a tire rotation every 7,000 to 8,000 miles, or about every other oil change. This helps to promote even wear and prolong the lifespan of your tires.
Why is tire rotation important? Regular tire rotation helps prevent uneven tread wear, which can lead to a rougher ride, poor handling, and less traction. It’s an essential part of preventative maintenance that keeps your car safe and improves fuel efficiency.
What is the difference between tire rotation and tire balancing?
Tire rotation involves moving your tires to different positions on your vehicle. Tire balancing is a separate service that ensures the weight of your wheel and tire is evenly distributed, which helps prevent vibrations.
Can a tire rotation fix a flat tire?
No, a tire rotation cannot fix a flat tire. It is a preventative maintenance service designed to ensure even wear over time. If you have a flat, our team can perform a flat tire repair or help you with a new tire installation.
How can tire rotation save me money?
By ensuring your tires wear evenly, a regular tire rotation extends the life of your tires, delaying the need for a full replacement. It also helps improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, leading to savings at the pump.
How do you perform a tire rotation?
Our certified technicians follow your vehicle’s manufacturer-recommended pattern for the rotation. During this process, we also inspect each tire for proper inflation, tread depth, and wear patterns, ensuring your tires are in the best possible condition.
