Tires and wheels
We sell, install and look after tires from Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental, Pirelli, Goodyear, Nokian, Toyo, Yokohama, Hankook, Kumho, BFGoodrich, Firestone and Sailun. Tell us how you drive and we'll help you pick the right tire for it.
New tires
All-season, winter, all-weather, summer and performance tires, plus tires for SUVs and light trucks.
Installation and balancing
Mounted and balanced, with the wheel nuts tightened in a star pattern to the torque your maker specifies.1
Seasonal changeovers
Winter tires on in the fall and all-seasons back on in the spring. Book early to get the day you want.
Flat repair
Punctures repaired, or a straight answer if the tire can't be saved safely.
Tire rotation
Tires moved between positions so they wear evenly.2
Tire pressure sensors
TPMS sensors tested, replaced and reset when the tire pressure light won't go out.
Signs you need new tires
Brakes
Brakes are the one system you can't put off. We inspect the whole system, show you what we find, and replace only what needs replacing.
Pads and rotors
Quality pads and rotors, fitted and bedded in for quiet, even stops.
Calipers and hardware
Seized or leaking calipers, slides and clips replaced so the pads wear evenly.
Brake lines and hoses
Rusted lines and cracked hoses replaced before they fail.
Brake fluid service
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which cuts braking performance. Brembo suggests changing it every 2 to 3 years unless your maker says otherwise.4
ABS diagnostics
When the ABS light comes on, we find out why and fix the cause.
Parking brakes
Adjusted and repaired, including electronic parking brakes.
Signs your brakes need attention
- A screech when you brake, often the pads' built-in wear indicator.5
- Grinding or scraping, which can mean the pads are worn through.5
- The car pulls to one side when you slow down.5
- A spongy pedal, or one that goes down further than usual.5
- Vibration in the steering wheel or pedal when you brake.5
- The brake warning light is on.5
Maintenance and oil changes
We follow your car maker's schedule and tell you what's due now and what can wait.
Oil and filter changes
We recommend a change every 6 months. Conventional, synthetic blend and full synthetic oil. You can upgrade from the oil your maker specifies, but never downgrade.6
Scheduled maintenance
Your maker's service intervals done by the book, with a record of everything we did.
Fluid services
Coolant, transmission, brake, power steering and differential fluids.
Filters
Engine air, cabin air and fuel filters.
Belts
Serpentine and timing belts. On an interference engine, a broken timing belt can cause serious engine damage.7
Tune-ups
Spark plugs, ignition coils and throttle body cleaning.
Engine repair and replacement
Oil leaks, gaskets and timing components repaired, and engines overhauled or replaced.
Most maintenance is done while you wait in our lounge. Many repairs are finished the same day.
Diagnostics
Warning lights, strange noises and problems that come and go. We find the cause before we replace anything.
Check engine light
Code scans plus proper testing, so we fix the fault behind the code.
Warning lights
Brake, battery, temperature, oil pressure and tire pressure lights diagnosed.
Noises and vibrations
Clunks, squeals, hums and shakes tracked down on the road and on the lift.
Module programming
Control modules programmed and systems reset after repairs.
Electrical and lighting
Headlights, batteries, charging systems and wiring. We trace electrical faults to the cause, so the fix lasts.
Headlights and bulbs
Headlights, fog lights, brake lights, tail lights and signals repaired, replaced and aimed.
Batteries
Battery testing and replacement, with a check of the whole charging system.
Starters and alternators
Slow cranks, no-starts and charging problems diagnosed and repaired.
Wiring repairs
Shorts, bad grounds and corroded connectors traced and fixed.
Fuses and relays
Blown fuses traced back to the fault that blew them.
Power accessories
Power windows, locks, mirrors and seats that stop working.
Signs of an electrical or charging problem
Cut back on electrical use and have the car towed to a shop.9
Suspension, steering and alignment
Hitting potholes, curbs or road debris can knock your wheels out of alignment, and misalignment wears tires out early.11 We fix the drift, the clunks and the uneven wear at the source.
Wheel alignment
Four-wheel alignment to spec, so the car tracks straight and the tires wear evenly.
Shocks and struts
Worn shocks and struts replaced for better control over bumps and under braking.
Control arms and ball joints
Clunks over bumps and loose steering fixed where they start.
Steering
Tie rods, steering racks and power steering leaks repaired.
Wheel bearings
Worn wheel bearings found and replaced.
CV axles
Worn axles and torn axle boots repaired.
Signs of an alignment problem
Cooling system
Radiators, water pumps, thermostats, hoses and coolant: the parts that keep your engine at the right temperature.
Radiators
Leaking, clogged or damaged radiators repaired or replaced.
Water pumps and thermostats
Replaced when they leak, stick or stop moving coolant through the engine.
Hoses and coolant
Cracked or soft hoses replaced, and coolant serviced on your maker's schedule.
Cooling fans
Radiator fans and fan controls tested and repaired.
Signs of a radiator or cooling problem
Stop safely, let the engine cool, and check the coolant level. Have it towed if needed.9
AC and heating
Cold air in July. Heat and a clear windshield in January.
AC service
Leak checks and recharges with the right refrigerant for your car.
AC repair
Compressors, condensers, evaporators and climate controls diagnosed and repaired.
Heater and defrost
Heater cores, blower motors and defrosters repaired.
Cabin air filters
Replaced on your maker's schedule.
Signs your AC needs service

Smooth shifts and a solid connection between the engine and the road.
Transmission service
Fluid and filter service for automatic, CVT and manual transmissions.

Damaged panels repaired or replaced and finished to match.
Detailing, paint protection and tint
Once the car runs right, we can make it look right too, and help keep the paint and glass that way.
Car detailing
A thorough clean of your car, inside and out.
Wax and polishing
Paint polished to bring back the shine, then waxed to protect it.
Ceramic coating
A protective coating applied over the paint for a deep gloss that is easier to keep clean.
Paint protection film (PPF)
A clear film applied over the paint to guard it against stone chips and scratches.
Window tint
Tint film fitted to your car windows for privacy and less glare.
Hybrids and electric cars
Hybrids and electric cars still need tires, brakes and maintenance, and we handle all of it. For high-voltage battery and drive system repairs, we'll point you to the right specialist.
Tires for EVs
Electric cars are heavier and deliver instant torque, and that combination increases tire wear. Michelin recommends checking the pressure regularly and having the tires rotated and aligned periodically.17
Brakes
Pads, rotors, calipers and brake fluid inspected and serviced.
Suspension and alignment
Checked and adjusted to your maker's spec.
Scheduled maintenance
Cabin filters, coolant, brake fluid and inspections on your maker's schedule.
Classic and collector cars
Maintenance, repairs, cooling, electrical, suspension, tires and body work for older cars, with straight advice on what needs doing now and what can wait.
