  1. Look at the wear.

    Note which tire is wearing and where on the tread it shows up. Tire condition, pressure and wear patterns help narrow the cause.

  2. Separate the symptoms.

    Tell the shop whether you feel a vibration at a particular speed, notice a pull, or see wear along one edge. Each symptom helps guide the inspection.

  3. Ask to see the measurements.

    If alignment is recommended, ask for the before-and-after readings and which adjustments were possible for your vehicle.

What to ask us about

  • Tire sales and installation
  • Rotation, balancing and flat repair
  • Wheel alignment
What tire information should I have ready?

Have your year, make and model and the size from the tire sidewall. Ask about availability and what mounting, balancing and disposal cost.

Can you repair a flat?

The shop lists flat repair. An inspection can determine whether the tire is repairable based on the location and extent of the damage.

What’s the difference between balance and alignment?

Balancing addresses uneven weight around a wheel and tire. Alignment measures wheel angles. Describe the symptoms so the shop can recommend which to check.
