When to schedule service
Uneven tread wear, vibration, pulling, or a steering wheel that is off-center can be reasons to schedule an inspection. These symptoms are not always caused by alignment; tire damage or suspension wear may also be involved. A tire with a bulge, exposed cords, or rapid pressure loss should not be driven on.
Before your visit
Bring your vehicle details and, if you are shopping for tires, the tire size shown on the sidewall or vehicle placard. Mention recent pothole impacts, tire pressure warnings, and any changes in steering or ride quality.
Tires & Alignment FAQs
What is the difference between balancing and alignment?
Balancing corrects weight distribution in a wheel and tire assembly. Alignment adjusts wheel angles to vehicle specifications. They address different problems, so an inspection helps identify the right service.
Can every punctured tire be repaired?
No. Repairability depends on the location and size of the damage, tread condition, and whether the tire has been driven while underinflated. We need to inspect it before recommending a repair.
How often should I rotate my tires?
Follow the schedule for your vehicle and tires. Tire type, drivetrain, and whether the front and rear sizes match can affect the rotation pattern and interval.
