Tire Balance

Tire balancing, or wheel balancing, ensures that your tires and wheels spin more evenly by properly adjusting the tire weight distribution around your vehicle. During a tire balance, our technician uses a high-speed balancer and wheel weights to evenly redistribute the weight of the tire and wheel assembly. Correcting any type of tire imbalance eliminates or minimizes steering vibration, which can improve driver safety and provide a smoother ride. It also reduces wear and tear on suspension components and can improve fuel efficiency.

Road bumps, potholes, tire wear and other negative conditions can throw off the balance of your tires. You should balance your tires after installation and as recommended by the manufacturer or every 5,000 miles. However, if you notice a vibration in the steering wheel and/or seat while driving or irregular wear on the tires, it may be time for a tire balance.

Most out of balance tires and wheels often suffer from both types of imbalance at the same time:

• Static Imbalances - When a light or heavy spot prevents the tire from rolling evenly, causing the tire and wheel to vibrate in an up-and-down motion.
• Dynamic Imbalances - When unequal weight, on one or both sides of the tire’s lateral centerline, causes a side-to-side vibration.

Flat Tire Repair

Even with the best of tires, you can still encounter a flat—and somehow, it always seems to happen at the most inconvenient time! But don't worry, our specialized technicians can determine if your flat tire is repairable and complete the repairs in no time to get you back on the road safely. From slow leaks to tire punctures, we’ve got you covered.

When we repair a flat tire, we replace the air with nitrogen. Unlike oxygen, which easily seeps through the body of your tires, nitrogen has a large molecular structure and will provide steady tire pressure. Additionally, nitrogen is an inert dry gas and helps prevent rust, rot and corrosion, resulting in tires that last much longer and perform better!

Driving on a flat tire is unsafe and can damage the tire to the point that it can not be repaired. It is best to schedule your flat tire repair as soon as you notice your car has a flat or that there is a puncture in your tire.

Signs you might have a flat tire:

• The tire pressure is low
• The tire looks deflated
• There is visual damage to the tire (for example a crack in the sidewall)
• When driving, the steering wheel is pulsating or vibrating in an unusual way
• When driving, you have to hold the steering wheel with force to one side to keep your car going straight

Sometimes, a flat tire is unrepairable. Your tire will need to be replaced if a puncture greater than ¼ of an inch occurs or if there is damage to the sidewall or shoulder area. If your flat tire is unrepairable, our tire experts can help you select the best replacement.
