TIRE ROTATION

TIRE ROTATION & TIRE SERVICES
Why rotate tires? Tires tend to wear unevenly. Tire rotation is the practice of moving the wheels and tires of an automobile from one position to another, to ensure even tire wear. The front tires tend to wear on the outside edges because the tire leans over when you turn a corner. The rear tires just follow the fronts, so they usually wear more evenly. If you leave tires in place, those outside edges on the front tires will wear down much faster than the rest. You’ll have to replace the tires thousands of miles sooner.

POPULAR QUESTIONS
-
Does it really matter where I take my car for service?
Yup. A professional certified mechanic is required to undergo continual training in the latest systems and proficient use of state-of-the-art equipment in order to test the electronics that control most cars’ functions and to enable diagnosis and prognoses of complex problems. Equipment includes: electronic scopes to monitor sensor signals, scanners to communicate with the computers, etc.
As well, a certified mechanic has access to tech-info services to reference wiring diagrams, manufacturer’s technical service bulletins and other data. Without these resources, a garage mechanic might easily misdiagnose your vehicle’s problem at your expense.
-
Should I consider using synthetic motor oil?
Synthetic engine oils are produced through a synthesis process that takes very small molecules and assembles them into larger designer molecules with premium lubricating properties.

Trans service (fluid change) – 40,000 miles

-
Why does my dashboard's “engine light” icon light up?
The check engine (or service engine) light illuminates to alert you that the computer has detected a malfunction in a fuel, ignition, or emission control circuit. You should have this problem diagnosed as soon as possible: if the light starts flashing, your car’s computer has detected an engine miss that could lead to catalytic converter damage if you continue using the vehicle.
