We know that great tires can have their lifespans prolonged through proper maintenance, keeping you from having to continue shelling out money for low-quality tires.

Tire Installation & Balancing 

While many drivers like (and sometimes even prefer) to do tire installations and balancing themselves, there are times when it's just not possible. Perhaps you're going on a trip soon and need someone to handle installation and balancing services before you leave. Or maybe you're caught at work with a big project and don't have the time you thought you did to go ahead and install your new tires. 

That's where we come in and provide assistance so that you don't have to stress about getting your tires put on and ready to go. We'll handle it all for you, from purchase to service and beyond. Tire balancing is an incredibly important part of getting new tires put on, as it can help distribute weight more evenly on the wheels and can finesse your ride in multiple ways, including helping your steering wheel shake less. 

You'll also find that when your tires are balanced, your treads will wear more evenly, meaning they'll wear at the same rate, thereby deterring accidents that might have occurred due to uneven wear. Not only is this a safety issue, but it's also a longevity issue. Whether you do the tire installation yourself or have us do it for you, you'll want to ensure you request our tire balancing services as well.

Wheel Alignments 

We offer both a personal touch and a computerized touch when aligning your wheels. By pairing our mechanics' know-how with the latest tech, we can ensure that your wheels are perfectly aligned and make precise adjustments to keep them that way. This is easy when you consider that our technicians are highly trained to perform at a level above expectations, whether they're aligning wheels, balancing tires, or handling other tire maintenance needs. 

They will also inspect your wheels to ensure they're properly aligned whenever you come into the shop for maintenance or repairs, so you'll always know what's going on with every part of your vehicle. If you are not aware of all that goes into installing and maintaining tires, you may be surprised to learn that wheel alignments are incredibly important not only for the life of your tires but also for your vehicle. 

Aligning the wheels correctly ensures they are angled properly according to manufacturing specifications, leading to more even wear and tear and quite likely enhancing fuel efficiency. Another reason that Ford drivers will want to ensure their wheels are aligned correctly is that it improves steering, which is vital to staying in the correct lane, avoiding accidents, and other important driving considerations.

Tire Repair & Routine Maintenance

What happens if you get a nail in your tire? What if you're losing air but can't see the spot where it is coming out? Do you have to get a completely new tire? What if you're not expecting to spend that much and have a tight budget at the time? You can relax, as we'll take care of it for you. 

We offer patching and puncture repair whenever possible so that you can save money and preserve your tire until it's time to replace it or the entire set. We don't want you to have to fork over more money than you're willing to spend, especially when you're not ready to replace a tire. That's why we offer services like tire repair, so that you can take advantage and make your tires last a little bit longer.

Tire rotation is an important aspect of keeping tread wear even, and if you don't have them rotated, it can affect more than just tires; it can affect your ride, your steering, and even put you in danger if one of your tires blows while you're on the highway or in heavy traffic. 

Tire inspections are also an important part of routine maintenance, so whether you get a regular inspection or you only do so when you remember to make an appointment, we're here to ensure that your tires are rotated and inspected and that everything is good to go before you get back on the road to wherever you're going.

Tire Performance & Safety Inspections

Did you know there's a legal minimum tread depth for tires? The longer the wait between tire replacements, the more dangerous it becomes to drive on them. When the legal minimum is reached, safety issues rise, and you run the risk of hydroplaning, even if you've bought high-quality tires that are built for inclement weather. 

That's why, when you bring your vehicle to us, we'll check performance and conduct safety inspections, particularly of tread depth and wear patterns, so we know the condition of your tires and can tell you when you've reached the minimum tread required for safe driving. 

We'll also check the sidewalls of your tires for any issues, whether there's something obviously wrong or not. We'll go in-depth into the structure of your tires to look for damage and inspect the entire tire-wheel setup to ensure you're driving on the safest tires possible. 

Sidewall damage can come from several things you encounter every day, like potholes. It can also look different, like irregular wear and tear, bulges, cracks, and punctures. You may not even notice something until it becomes a bigger problem, which is why it's so important to bring your vehicle in for regular safety inspections.
