❗️ ❗️
We had an unknown individual (on camera) drop off 3 buckets of unknown fluids last evening at 7:10pm and leave them in front of the shop. Please do not do this without asking us first! We have no way to dispose of these buckets and their contents without knowing what is in them!
If you are looking to get rid of used motor oil ONLY, please ask us first. We cannot dispose of any other fluids.

🚗Tire Repairs🚗

A proper tire repair is done using what is called a "plug and patch" as shown in the right photo below. This is the best, safest and most guaranteed way to repair a tire, which is done from the inside. The photo on the left (tire plug) is the WRONG way to repair a tire and is not safe for road use.
During the proper repair process, the tire is patched from the inside out. It is taken off the rim and inspected for further damage. Once deemed repairable, the puncture is cleaned/drilled, inside of the tire is cleaned of any debris to ensure a proper seal, the plug and patch is installed and the tire is vulcanized around the patch to properly seal. This ensures a long lasting repair.

FAQ
How do I know if I need a wheel alignment?
There are multiple signs your vehicle needs a wheel alignment. For example, your vehicle pulls to one side, your tires are wearing choppy/uneven, your steering wheel is not straight, your tires are noticeably turned/tilted inward or outward.

What are the benefits of a wheel alignment?
Better fuel mileage, longer tire life, fewer suspension repairs, smoother ride, improved handling.

What causes a bad wheel alignment?
Something as simple as hitting a pothole or curb, or driving on poorly maintained roads can knock out your wheel alignment. Especially on our terrible roads!!

When/how often should I get a wheel alignment?
Whenever you have any major suspension repairs, Or if you notice any of the above symptoms. you should get a wheel alignment!

Having your vehicles wheels out of alignment places excess stress on important suspension parts causing them to wear and fail over time. Such as, ball joints, struts and shocks, control arms, tie rod ends and wheel bearings.
** Alignments cannot be done if any suspension parts need replacement **

Good Day everyone!
We have a few notices for our valued customers.

If you know you are needing to book an appointment, our advise would be to not wait until the last minute. Book ahead of time to avoid disappointment. This especially goes for tire changes.

Starting in the new year, anyone who "no shows" for their appointment will be required to make a deposit if you wish to book another. We can not have people not show up for their scheduled appointment when there are others waiting to get in. We understand things come up, or you may no longer want your appointment, but a quick phone call, email, or message goes a long way. We would prefer you let us know, rather than not showing up so we are able to fill the appointment.

We will be implementing a cancellation policy as well. If you need/want to cancel, we will require you to cancel your appointment at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment so we have plenty of time to fill the opening. Failure to cancel before 24 hours may result in having to pay a deposit for your next appointment.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support during these times of continuous rising costs. We appreciate you all!
We hope everyone has a great Christmas! See you all in the New Year.
