Tires, andeverything theytouch.
Prices are for most cars and light trucks, tax extra. Jo gives you the total on the phone before the car goes up, and that's the number on your ticket.
Prices
New tires
By sizeThree prices on the phone: good, better, and the one Jo would put on her own car. Every tire's date is read before it's mounted.
How Jo picks the threeMount and balance, set of four
$96New valve stems, or a fresh seal kit on a pressure-sensor stem. The dot turned to the stem, weights tucked behind the spokes, every nut by hand in a star, and the fifty-mile check. Your old tires go to a licensed recycler.
Four-wheel alignment
$129Before-and-after readings on paper, so you can see exactly what we moved. If a part is worn, we show you before we adjust anything. Aligning around a loose tie-rod end is money thrown away.
Flat repair
$35Off the wheel, plugged and patched from the inside, balanced again. If it's in the shoulder or the sidewall, we'll tell you it can't be fixed.
Rotation
$30Moved the way your owner's manual says, pressures set, every nut torqued again. Free every 6,000 miles on tires you bought here.
Pressure sensor
$58 eachReplaced and programmed to your car. They run on sealed batteries that last five to ten years, so when one quits, we check the other three and tell you how they're doing.
Winter swap
$60Your other set, on its own wheels, goes on in November and off in April. The first week it snows, the swaps book up, so call in October.
Seasonal storage
$60A season upstairs over the bays, each tire crayon-marked with the corner it came off.
The yellow copy is yours.
Every visit ends with a ticket on your seat, even if you came in for a nail. All four tread depths, the pressures we set, the torque, and the initials of whoever tightened the nuts.
The white copy stays in our drawer. Next time you're in, we pull it and see how your tires have worn since.
