Fortunately, tire service isn't something you have to tackle by yourself. Our Toyota service team is here to help!
Tire Rotations
What is a tire rotation?
When you bring your car in for a tire rotation, our team will take the tires off your car and put them back in different positions. This usually involves swapping the front tires with the rear tires.
Why does my car need tire rotations?
Factors like uneven weight distribution and steering can cause your tires to wear unevenly. Uneven tire wear hampers your vehicle's ability to operate efficiently. Tire rotations help to even out tire wear so that your tires last longer and your car performs better.
When do I need a tire rotation?
Most cars need a tire rotation every 6,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.
Wheel Alignments
What is a wheel alignment?
A wheel alignment is the process of making sure your car's wheels are pointed in the right direction by adjusting the camber, caster, and toe.
Why does my car need a wheel alignment?
If your wheels are out of alignment, it can have a negative impact on handling. Plus, it can have devastating effects on your tires that could leave you needing to replace them prematurely. Wheel alignments restore your wheels to factory specifications so that everything is pointed in the right direction.
When do I need a wheel alignment?
We recommend a wheel alignment check every six months or so. If you notice issues like unusual tire wear patterns or a vibrating steering wheel, your wheels could be in need of alignment.
