Frequently Asked Questions — Tires & Auto Repair

Check the sticker inside your driver’s door jamb or the sidewall of your current tires (e.g. 225/65R17). Bring your car in and we’ll confirm the right fitment free of charge — the wrong size affects safety, speedometer accuracy and fuel economy.

We’re an authorized dealer for Michelin, BFGoodrich, Continental, Uniroyal, Kumho and Nexen, and we source Bridgestone, Goodyear, Pirelli, Hankook, Toyo, Yokohama and more. If a tire isn’t in stock, we can usually have it the same or next day.

A full set — mounting, balancing and a safety check — typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. Book ahead and we’ll have your tires staged so you’re in and out faster.

Yes — manufacturer treadwear and defect warranties apply to the new tires we sell, and we back our installation workmanship. We’ll register your tires and explain the exact coverage before you pay.

It depends on tread depth, drivetrain and wear pattern. On AWD vehicles mismatched tread can damage the drivetrain, so all four is usually safest. We measure your remaining tread and give you an honest recommendation — never an upsell.

Every used tire we sell is inspected for tread depth, even wear, sidewall condition, punctures and age before it goes on the rack. If it doesn’t pass, we don’t sell it.

Quality-inspected used tires typically cost 40–70% less than the same model new — a smart option for older vehicles, leased cars near return, or a quick budget fix.

Bring them in — if they pass our inspection criteria we may offer credit toward your purchase. Either way, we’ll recycle your old tires responsibly.

Classic signs: the car pulls left or right, the steering wheel is off-center when driving straight, or your tires wear unevenly on one edge. Florida potholes and curb strikes are the usual culprits — an alignment check takes minutes.

At least once a year, after any hard pothole or curb impact, and ideally with every new set of tires to protect the investment.

Squealing or grinding noises, a soft or pulsing pedal, longer stopping distances, or the car pulling to one side when braking. Any of these deserves an immediate inspection — brake checks here are free.

Typically 30,000–70,000 miles depending on driving style. Stop-and-go traffic on US-441 or I-95 commutes wears pads faster — we’ll measure pad thickness and show you the actual numbers.

South Florida heat is hard on oil. Conventional oil: about every 3,000–5,000 miles. Full synthetic: 7,500–10,000 miles. We’ll check your manufacturer’s schedule and set the right interval for how you actually drive.

For most modern engines, yes — synthetic protects better in heat, lasts longer between changes, and can pay for itself over 100,000 miles. Ask our mechanic on duty what’s right for your engine.

Premium oil and a new filter, chassis lubrication, fluid top-offs, a tire pressure check and a multi-point inspection that flags anything that needs attention — before it becomes expensive.

Yes — tires, alignment, brakes and suspension on hybrids and EVs, plus routine maintenance on hybrid systems. EVs are heavier and wear tires faster, so rotation matters even more.
