With each brand needing specific tires for their best performance, our mechanics take the time to make sure that we fully inspect your tires and surrounding components to ensure that everything is working properly.

What are some standard tire services needed for cars in Bridgewater?

Tire Rotation

Tire rotation is an important maintenance aspect of your car that involves moving the tires from one position to another to ensure even tire wear. Most drivers aren’t aware that the front and rear tires wear out differently because of variations in weight distribution, steering, and braking force. That is why carrying out regular rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles expands their lifespan. Contact us at our garage located near Bridgewater to get your tires rotated as soon as possible.

Tire Pressure Monitoring and Adjustment

Adequate tire pressure is critical in ensuring your vehicle’s safety, fuel economy, and longevity. Most of the time, underinflated tires produce a lot of heat and wear out faster, while overinflated tires play spoilsport with traction and wear unevenly. Most modern vehicles have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that alerts drivers when needed. Contact us at Motor Cars International, located in Bridgewater, to get your tires inspected by our certified mechanics.

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment ensures the tires are at perfect angles so they come in contact with the road at proper orientation, ensuring smooth running and better performance. Most of the time, misalignment is caused by your vehicle hitting curbs, potholes, or general wear and tear. Moreover, if you come across uneven tire wear, the car pulling to one side, or a crooked steering wheel, your car needs an alignment check. Reach out to us at Motor Cars International, located in the vicinity of Bridgewater, to get your wheels aligned.

Tire Replacement

Your car’s tires need to be replaced with new ones when their tread depth is very low, the sidewall is damaged, or the tire is aged beyond its lifespan. Besides that, worn-out tires have inferior traction and increase the risk of encountering hydroplaning or blowouts. That is why replacing your tires whenever it is due not only ensures the smooth running of the vehicle but also your safety. If your tires are worn out completely, don’t keep driving, but get in touch with a certified auto repair shop to replace them quickly.

Signs of Worn Tires

As you drive, your tires wear down but depending on your driving style or other issues with the car, your tires may wear down much quicker. Annual tire inspections as part of routine maintenance will help you identify tire wear quicker as our mechanics look for common signs like:

Bald or Balding Tires
Uneven Tread Wear
Flat Spots
Car Squealing When Taking Corners
Vibrations at Higher Speeds

The last thing anyone wants to deal with is a flat tire or blowout and being stranded on the side of the road. That’s why our shop always uses the latest tools for tire services and replacements. We also back our work with a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty on all parts and labor. This way your car is always issue-free, and your tires are able to provide you with the safety and performance that you rely on.
