Tire Questions
How often should I rotate my tires?
Most vehicles should have their tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
How do I know if my tires need to be replaced?
Signs include low tread depth, cracks in the sidewall, uneven wear, or frequent air loss.
Do you sell both new and used tires?
Yes, we offer a selection of new and quality used tires.
What causes uneven tire wear?
Uneven tire wear can be caused by improper tire pressure, misalignment, worn suspension parts, or lack of regular tire rotation.
How long do tires usually last?
Most tires last between 40,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits, tire quality, and maintenance.
Can a tire with a nail be repaired?
Yes, many punctures caused by nails or screws can be safely repaired if the damage is in the tread area and the tire structure is not compromised.
When can a tire NOT be repaired?
A tire cannot usually be repaired if the puncture is in the sidewall, if the hole is too large, or if the tire has internal damage.
What tire pressure should I use?
The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle is listed on the driver’s door sticker or in the owner’s manual.
Why does my tire keep losing air?
Possible reasons include a puncture, leaking valve stem, damaged wheel, or improper bead seal.
What is tire balancing?
Tire balancing ensures the weight of the tire and wheel assembly is evenly distributed to prevent vibration while driving.
What happens if I drive on worn tires?
Driving on worn tires can reduce traction, increase stopping distance, and increase the risk of hydroplaning.
What are all-season tires?
All-season tires are designed to provide balanced performance in a variety of weather conditions including dry, wet, and light winter conditions.
What are all-terrain tires?
All-terrain tires are designed for both on-road and off-road driving, providing extra traction on rough surfaces.
How often should I check my tire pressure?
It is recommended to check tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips.
Can weather affect tire pressure?
Yes. Tire pressure can decrease in cold weather and increase in hot weather.
What is a TPMS sensor?
A TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor monitors the air pressure in your tires and alerts you when the pressure is too low.
Why is my TPMS light on?
The TPMS light may turn on for several reasons including:
-
Low tire pressure
-
Temperature changes
-
A faulty TPMS sensor
-
A sensor that needs to be relearned or reset
What should I do if my TPMS light comes on?
First check your tire pressure and inflate the tires to the recommended level. If the light stays on, it may need to be inspected.
Do TPMS sensors need to be replaced?
Yes. TPMS sensors contain small batteries that usually last 5–10 years and may eventually need replacement of the sensor
Do you service TPMS sensors?
Yes, we can inspect, reset, replace, and program TPMS sensors depending on your vehicle.
Why does my TPMS light turn on and off?
This can happen when tire pressure changes due to temperature fluctuations or when a TPMS sensor battery is starting to fail.
Brake Service Questions
How do I know if my brakes need replacement?
Common signs include squeaking, grinding noises, vibration when braking, or longer stopping distances.
How long does a brake job take?
Most brake pad replacements can be completed in about 1–2 hours.
What causes brake vibration?
Brake vibration when stopping is often caused by warped brake rotors or uneven rotor surfaces.
What is brake fluid and why is it important?
Brake fluid transfers the force from the brake pedal to the brake components. Low or contaminated brake fluid can reduce braking performance.
Do you offer brake inspections?
Yes, we provide brake inspections to check the condition of brake pads, rotors, and the overall braking system.
How long do brake pads last?
Brake pads typically last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits and vehicle type.
Wheel and Installation Questions
Do you install wheels purchased somewhere else?
Yes, we can install wheels purchased elsewhere.
Do you offer tire and wheel packages?
Yes, we offer packages that include tires, wheels, mounting, and balancing.
How long does wheel installation take?
Most wheel and tire installations take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the vehicle.
What is brake fluid and why is it important?
Brake fluid transfers the force from the brake pedal to the brake components. Low or contaminated brake fluid can reduce braking performance.
What is wheel offset?
Wheel offset refers to how far the wheel mounting surface is from the centerline of the wheel. It affects how the wheel sits inside the wheel well.
What is bolt pattern?
Bolt pattern refers to the number of wheel bolts and the spacing between them. Wheels must match your vehicle’s bolt pattern to fit properly.
What happens if a wheel is bent?
A bent wheel can cause vibration, air leaks, and uneven tire wear. In some cases, the wheel may need repair or replacement.
Can wheels cause vibration while driving?
Yes, vibration can occur if wheels are bent, improperly balanced, or damaged.
Warranty & Service Questions
Do your tires include a warranty?
Many new tires include a manufacturer warranty depending on the brand.
Do you offer tire and wheel packages?
Yes, we offer packages that include tires, wheels, mounting, and balancing.
What is a manufacturer tire warranty?
A manufacturer warranty covers defects caused during the tire’s production process, such as structural issues or premature failure.
What is a road hazard warranty?
A road hazard warranty may cover damage caused by potholes, nails, glass, or other road debris that cannot be avoided.
What should I do if my tire is damaged?
Bring your vehicle to our shop so we can inspect the tire and determine whether it can be repaired or needs replacement.
Can improper tire maintenance affect warranty coverage?
Yes, failure to maintain proper tire pressure, rotation schedules, or alignment can affect tire performance and warranty coverage.
