We perform all types of tire services including selling brand new tires for your vehicle.
Tire Installations
- Our vast experience has allowed us to work with most tire manufacturers and we have deep knowledge on what to recommend based on your driving habits, roads that you frequent and your vehicle.
- We are a one-stop shop to swapping out your old tires from existing RIMs and installing new ones. Our process typically involves:
- Installing the stem valve to inflate the tires
- Mounting the tires on your RIMs and sealing the tires to prevent any air leaks
- Inflating your tires to the manufacturer recommended PSI range
- Balancing each tire to ensure that there is no wobbling at high speeds
Flat Tire Repair
- In the event that you have had a flat tire or punctured tire, we are able to assist with the repair. We have a no-short cuts approach to repairing your tire, as this is a vital part of your driving safety.
- We perform a thorough inspection of the faulty tire to understand the source of the air leak and why the tire is loosing air pressure
- Once the source is located we plug the patch professionally and ensure the seal is durable. This is done using a simple bubble test, wherin soapy water is poured on the patch to ensure no further air leak occurs. If no bubbles form, this proves that the patch has been succesfully sealed, if bubbles form that means the tire is continuing to loose air pressure and releasing air.
- Finally, once the tire is patched, we perform a rebalancing of the tire to ensure there is no wobble when you are on the road.
Tire Rotations
- As the name suggests, we also offer tire rotation services
- The main benefit of periodically rotating your tires is that it helps your tires wear evenly. This could involve rotation from the right to left side, rear to front depending on the specific tire tread and the tread wear shown by the tire.
- Theoretically all 4 tires of your vehicle should wear evenly, however factors such as defects in your car's suspension system, your driving habits, the roads that you frequent and defects in your tire rim(s) all add to unever wear which can be addressed by tire rotations.
- Typically, it is recommended to rotate your tires every 5000 km
Wheel Balancing
- Wheel balancing is needed typically when you notice that your vehicle vibrates at higher speeds.
- The fundamental cause for this is that one section of the tire becomes heavier than the rest. The simplest counter to this is to attach a matching lead weight on the opposite side of the tire which counteracts this imbalance leading to a smoother ride.
