Tires & Wheels

If the puncture is in the tread area and is not too large, we can often perform a proper patch-and-plug repair that is safe and long-lasting. Punctures in the sidewall, large gashes, or damage from driving on a flat usually mean the tire needs to be replaced for safety. We will inspect it and give you an honest recommendation.

Winter tires are strongly recommended for Calgary's conditions because they use a softer compound and tread design that grip far better in cold, snow, and ice than all-season tires. The improvement in stopping distance can be the difference in an emergency. We can fit a set, handle seasonal changeovers, and advise on storage.

In many cases, yes. We repair curb rash and correct rim distortion using the latest technology to restore the seal and appearance, which is often more cost-effective than replacing the wheel. Severely cracked or structurally compromised rims may need replacement for safety, and we will tell you if that is the case.

Vibration at speed is most often caused by wheels that are out of balance or a bent rim, both common after hitting a Calgary pothole. We can rebalance the wheels and check for rim distortion to smooth out the ride. If the vibration points to something else, our diagnostics can help track it down.

Yes, we are happy to mount and balance tires regardless of where you purchased them, and we set them to the manufacturer-recommended pressure. We work with all tire brands. If you would rather we source the tires for you, we can do that too and recommend the right fit for your vehicle.

Watch for tread that is worn down near the wear bars, cracking in the rubber, uneven wear, or frequent loss of pressure. In Calgary, age matters too, since cold and UV harden rubber over time even on tires with tread left. We inspect tread depth and overall condition and will let you know honestly whether they are still safe.
