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 I know if I need a tire replacement or repair?
We assess the extent and location of the damage, tread depth, and tire age. Some punctures and minor damage can be professionally repaired, but issues like sidewall damage or excessive wear require replacement for your safety.
How long does a typical tire installation take?
Most standard tire installations are completed within an hour, depending on your vehicle’s needs and service volume. We always inform you of the estimated time at drop-off and offer complimentary shuttle service for convenience.
What brands of tires do you offer for replacement?
We source tires from reputable, nationally recognized brands and recommend options well-suited for Florida’s climate. Our focus is on safety, performance, and matching your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations.
Is flat tire repair safe for all types of tire damage?
Not all tire damage can be safely repaired—a thorough inspection guides our recommendation. Punctures in the tread area are often fixable, while sidewall or extensive internal damage requires replacement to ensure safety.
Are appointments required for tire repair or replacement?
Walk-ins are welcome, but scheduling an appointment helps us minimize your wait and ensure we have your preferred tire model available. Call ahead to secure the fastest service experience.

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).
