When you experience a flat tire or tire damage, proper tire repair techniques can often restore your tire to a safe operating condition without requiring a complete replacement. Our certified technicians thoroughly inspect each damaged tire to determine whether repair is possible, examining the tread area, sidewall condition, and inner liner for signs of damage that could compromise safety. We use industry-standard tire patches and plugs explicitly designed for different types of punctures, ensuring repairs meet manufacturer specifications and safety standards. The tire repair process includes removing the tire from the wheel, cleaning the damaged area, applying the appropriate patch or plug, and conducting pressure tests to verify the repair integrity. Our TPMS tools allow us to properly reset tire pressure monitoring systems after repairs, ensuring your vehicle’s safety systems function correctly. We have specialized equipment for repairs involving valve stems or TPMS sensors to service these components while maintaining proper tire pressure monitoring functionality.  

What Makes Our Tire Shop Different from Others?  

Our tire shop stands out through our comprehensive approach to tire services, combining extensive inventory with expert installation and ongoing maintenance support. We carry all major tire brands across every price range, from budget-friendly options to premium performance tires, ensuring we can match the correct tires to your vehicle specifications, driving habits, and budget requirements. Our mounting equipment and computerized balancing machines provide precise installation that maximizes tire life and vehicle performance. At the same time, our alignment rack ensures proper wheel positioning for even tire wear. Beyond tire sales, we offer complete wheel services, including custom wheel installation, TPMS sensor transfer, and wheel refinishing services. Our digital vehicle inspection process includes detailed tire tread depth measurements and sidewall evaluations, with photographic documentation shared with customers to help them make informed decisions about tire replacement timing. We also provide seasonal tire storage services for customers who switch between summer and winter tires, keeping your off-season tires in climate-controlled conditions.  

Truck owners require specialized knowledge and equipment beyond standard automotive service, so our truck repair capabilities cover everything from routine maintenance to major system repairs. Our technicians are experienced with gasoline and diesel engines, understanding the unique requirements of different truck configurations and usage patterns. We service complete drivetrain systems, including transmissions, differentials, and transfer cases, using manufacturer-approved fluids and components to maintain warranty compliance and optimal performance. Our suspension system expertise includes leaf springs, coil springs, shock absorbers, and air suspension components commonly found on trucks and commercial vehicles. The braking systems on trucks require specialized attention due to increased weight and towing demands, so we maintain an extensive inventory of heavy-duty brake components and have the equipment to service larger brake systems safely. Our electrical system diagnostics can identify issues with charging systems, starting systems, and the complex wiring harnesses found in modern trucks, while our exhaust system services address everything from catalytic converters to diesel particulate filters.  

How Do We Help You Choose the Perfect Wheels?  

Wheel sales involve more than selecting an attractive design; they require careful attention to diameter specifications, bolt patterns, offset measurements, and load ratings that ensure proper fit and performance. Our wheel experts help customers navigate the technical aspects of wheel selection, explaining how different wheel sizes affect ride quality, handling characteristics, and tire replacement costs. We stock wheels in popular sizes from 15-inch diameter up to 20-inch and larger options, with various bolt pattern configurations to fit domestic and import vehicles. Our wheel construction options include cast, forged, and flow-formed manufacturing methods, each offering different benefits in terms of weight, strength, and cost considerations. Finish options range from painted and powder-coated surfaces to machined, chrome, and anodized treatments that provide aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance. Center bore specifications and hub-centric fitting ensure proper wheel mounting, eliminating vibration and premature wear. In contrast, TPMS compatibility considerations ensure your tire pressure monitoring system continues functioning with new wheels. Our wheel installation services include proper mounting, balancing, and alignment checks to ensure optimal performance and safety.
