- Do I need an appointment?
- No. Walk in any time we're open and we'll take care of you. Most jobs are done in about 20 minutes.
- Are you open Sundays?
- No, both shops are closed Sunday. Teutonia Ave is open Monday to Friday 8–6 and Saturday 8–5. North Ave is 8:30–6 weekdays and 8:30–5 Saturday.
- How much is a used tire?
- They start at $30, depending on the size and the condition. Call the shop or come by and we'll tell you what we have in your size.
- Can you fix a flat, or do I need a new tire?
- Usually we can repair it — from $15, in about 20 minutes. If the damage is in the sidewall rather than the tread, it can't be repaired safely and the tire needs replacing. We'd need to see it to tell you which.
- What size do I need?
- It's printed on the side of your tire — something like 225/65R17. Send us that and we'll check, or just drive over and we'll read it for you.
- What if my size is unusual?
- Worth asking us. Odd, older and less common sizes are what customers thank us for most — people regularly tell us we had something two or three other shops didn't. Call either shop with the size off your sidewall and we'll check while you're on the phone.
- Do you sell new tires too?
- Yes, new and used. Call either shop for a price on new — it depends on the size.
- Do I have to replace all four?
- Not always. On many cars a single tire is fine as long as it reasonably matches the others. On all-wheel-drive it matters more, and a used tire matched to the wear on your existing ones is often the better answer than one brand-new tire. Ask us and we'll tell you straight.
- Do you take cards?
- Yes — cash and cards both. If you've read somewhere that we're cash only, that's not right. Pay however suits you.
- How long will it take?
- Most tire jobs are about 20 minutes. If we're busy it can be longer — call ahead and we'll tell you honestly what the wait looks like.
