Our services
We've got you covered
New Tires
Arroyo, Radar, Toyo, Nitto, Falken, Michelin, Bridgestone and more. Tell us your size and what you drive and we'll price it on the phone. Don't know the size? Read the numbers off the sidewall.
Used Tires
Good tread for a fraction of new. Every used size is priced on the list below — $50 to $150 a tire depending on rim size and whether it's a car or a truck.
Tire Repair
Picked up a nail? If the damage is in the tread and the tire's still good, we patch it from the inside. That's the repair that actually holds.
Mount & Balance
Dismount the old, mount the new, balance the wheel. $75 flat if you bring your own tire.
Installation
We'll install what we sell you, or what you bought online and carried in. Bringing your own is a posted price, not a penalty.
Tire Rotation
Front tires wear faster than rear. Moving them around every few thousand miles evens the wear out so you buy tires less often.
TPMS Service
That tire pressure light on your dash runs off a sensor in each wheel. We service them, and we'll fit your own sensor if you bring it.
Wheel Installation
Stock replacements and custom fitment. We'll talk through offset and clearance before you spend a dollar.
No quote games
