Services We Recommend
Tires are the only part of your car that comes into contact with the road and therefore should be well taken care of. You need to have them inspected and maintained frequently to improve their performance and also so that they can last longer. Here’s what we recommend:
- Tire Rotation: Your tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles so that the rubbers can wear evenly across the tires for increased durability and better grip.
- Tire Balancing: You should be aware that if your car vibrates or shakes while in motion, your tires are probably out of balance. Rotating your tires will mean that they will wear out evenly and also give you a smooth ride.
- Tire Pressure Checks: Tires that have been overinflated or underinflated have consequences such as reduced fuel consumption, tire wear irregularities, and potential blowouts. Safety checks and ensuring that the tire pressure is in the right condition are very important in our day-to-day inspections.
- Tread Depth Inspection: Tires with low tread depth are very dangerous when used especially on wet surfaces. As such, we advise checking your tires’ tread depth often and getting them replaced when its time is up.
