Comprehensive Wheel Alignment & Tire Services
- Wheel Alignment: Wheel alignment simply means ensuring that all your car tires touch the road at the right angle, your steering is accurate, and your tires wear out uniformly. If your wheels are not properly aligned you may experience a number of problems ranging from bad road performance to fast wearing of the tires. Through the use of state-of-the-art alignment equipment, our professional technicians set the angles of your wheels, the camber, caster, and toe, to a new standard that would afford your vehicle the best performance and safety.
- Tire Rotation and Balancing: Asymmetric wear of the tires reduces the number of years your tires will last and the safety of your car. Tire rotation aims to guarantee that all the tires wear out evenly while tire balancing is an adjustment that makes sure that your tires are evenly placed around the wheel so that they do not vibrate when you are driving. We suggest that you switch your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles and then have your tires balanced to enhance the control of your car, decrease the noise from your tires, and increase the shelf life of your tire.
- Tire Inspections and Repairs: Tires are the only part of your car that has direct contact with the road and any damage can result in a blowout or skidding. We offer tire services such as checking for treads, damage, and pressure of the tires. If your tires have been punctured or damaged, we can fix them for you or let you know if they need replacement. Our team of professionals ensures that you get safe and reliable tires that can meet road challenges.
- Tire Installation: Selecting the most suitable tire for your car is very important if you want to get the most out of your vehicle, and at the same time enhance safety. Whether you need responsive tires for your sports car, affordable all-season tires for your daily drive, or any other high-end tires, there’s a wide range of top tire brands for your vehicle. After choosing the right tires, our technicians will correctly fit them and do the balancing and alignment.
