Tire Installation

Tire installation is the process of mounting new tires on a vehicle. Our technicians will remove the old tires from your vehicle and properly dispose of them. They will then inspect the wheels and ensure they are in good condition before installing the new tires. The new tires will be mounted on the wheels and then inflated to the recommended air pressure. The technician will then balance the tires to ensure they are evenly distributed and properly aligned. This will help to ensure a smooth ride and prolong the life of the tires. The technician will also check the vehicle’s alignment and make necessary adjustments to ensure the vehicle is running at its best. After the installation process is completed, the technician will test drive the vehicle to ensure everything is working correctly.

Tire Balancing

During the tire balancing process, our technicians will use a machine to measure the weight distribution of each tire and wheel assembly. They will then add small weights to specific wheel areas to balance it out. Balancing the tires helps to ensure that the vehicle runs smoothly, extends the life of the tires, and improves the overall driving experience. It’s recommended to have your tires balanced every time you rotate them or when you notice a vibration or uneven wear.

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. This is important because misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, and increased fuel consumption. A wheel alignment service typically includes adjusting the angles of the wheels, such as the camber, caster, and toe.

During the wheel alignment process, a technician will use specialized equipment to measure the angles of the wheels and make any necessary adjustments. They will also check the suspension and steering components for wear and damage and make any necessary repairs. A proper wheel alignment ensures optimal performance, stability, and safety while driving and longer tire life. Having your wheel alignment checked at least once a year or whenever you notice uneven tire wear or your vehicle is pulling to one side or vibrating is recommended.

Tire Rotation

Tire rotation is the process of moving the tires from one position on a vehicle to another to ensure even wear and prolong their lifespan. Tire rotation helps to distribute the wear and tear of the tires more evenly, which can help extend the tires’ life and ensure better performance.

During the tire rotation process, a technician will remove the tires from the vehicle and then move them to different positions on the vehicle. This may involve moving the front tires to the back or vice versa or moving the tires on the same side of the vehicle to different positions. After the tires have been rotated, the technician will check the air pressure and make any necessary adjustments. They will also check the tires for signs of wear or damage and recommend any necessary services. Rotating your tires regularly can help to ensure better performance and safety and save you money on costly repairs or replacements in the long run.

What do I do if I have a flat tire at home?

Bring your vehicle to True Auto Care if you have a flat tire. Our automotive technicians will be able to properly diagnose the issue and determine the best course of action. We may be able to repair the flat tire if it is a simple puncture or a patchable hole. We will likely recommend a replacement if the tire is damaged beyond repair or worn out. Our team will also check your other tires for signs of wear or damage and recommend any necessary services. Additionally, we’ll check your tire pressure and adjust it to the manufacturer’s recommended levels to ensure the best performance and safety.

It is important to note that it is recommended to have a spare tire in your vehicle in case of emergency, and it’s best to have all your tires inspected if one of them goes flat.
