Tire Sales, repairs & installs
Tires are the most important safety feature on your car. Car owners still need to replace their tires throughout the life of their vehicle. Proper maintenance and responsible driving can maximize the mileage in a set of tires. The tire installation & balancing team at Checkered Flag Automotive will make sure that you get the best tires for your lifestyle.
Tire installation
One of the most important parts of vehicle upkeep is replacing old, worn out tires. Checkered Flag Automotive offers quality affordable tire services, including new or seasonal tire installation in the Saskatoon Area. Trust our tire installation experts to install your next set of tires.
Routine tire maintenance is important, to keep your family safe, and to ensure your vehicle’s long lifespan. Always check your owner’s manual to find the right tire size to fit your vehicle’s year, make, and model. New tires should be purchased in sets of 4, or at least in matching groups of two on each axle. This keeps your tire wear even and extends the life of your new tires. For pricing on tires, you can utilize our online booking system to get your vehicle in the same day!
Tire balancing
Tire balancing is important to extend the life of your tires and increase the basic safety of your car. Computerized tire balancing is checked on a machine which can detect even ¼ of an ounce of difference in weight around the wheel. That tiny amount of weight travels very fast around the axle while you are driving: hundreds of times a minute. This causes enough momentum to create serious vibration and when multiplied times 4 wheels, the wobble really adds up.
Since tires wear depending on driving practices and road problems, uneven wear will start to become noticeable after the first 1,000-2,000 miles of use. Tires must be checked for balance every 4,000-6,000 miles. Our mechanics can help determine whether your tires need to be rotated and balanced based on wear or mileage.
Wheel alignments
Does your car pull to the side or are you experiencing unusual vibrations? If so, you may need to have your wheels aligned. When your vehicle came off the manufacturer assembly line, it came preset with the tires aligned properly. Driving on extremely bumpy roads, through potholes, or hitting curbs can affect your wheel alignment. Checkered Flag Automotive can set your vehicle straight again with a quality wheel alignment.
Our wheel alignment services gives you the best driving experience. It helps your tires last longer, your vehicle drive smoother, and ultimately keeps your wheels pointed in the right direction.
