Tire Discounters Thornton AvenueAutomotive Services

During your vehicle's life, potholes are hit, sharp turns are taken and brakes are slammed - all of which cause your components to wear down and your wheels to shift which can pull your car in one direction. Do not worry, this is natural wear and tear - but it can accelerate tire damage. When we align your tires, we are returning the angles of your vehicle's wheels to the manufacturer's specifications.

Tire Discounters is the Home of the Free Alignment! Alignment is included with any 4-tire purchase with standard installation!* Don't get bent out of shape, we offer Alignment Coverage for the life of your tires! You can choose between a 3 year or 5 year plan. This will cover an alignment whenever you need one for the duration of your policy. Savings over the duration of the plan are huge!** What if you have just purchased an alignment or received a free alignment with a 4-tire purchase? No problem! If you upgrade to the Alignment Coverage Plan within 30 days, you will receive full credit for one paid alignment.

Research indicates that the average car is driven about 12,000 miles per year. A car with toe adjustment that is just 0.34 degrees (just 0.17 inches) out of specification has dragged its tires sideways for more than 68 miles by the end of the year!

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations noted in your owner's manual. But, as a general rule, have your vehicle's alignment checked every 6,000 miles or at least twice a year.

Have your alignment checked if you notice: Excessive or uneven tire wear Steering wheel pulls to the side Feeling of looseness or wandering Your steering wheel is not centered when car is moving straight ahead It's been 6,000 miles or 6 months since your last alignment check Drop in fuel economy

We provide a Lifetime Warranty on brake pads and brake shoes, and a 12 months/12,000 miles on all brake services.*

Although shock and strut sound like the latest dance craze, they are actually very important, and often ignored, parts of your car. Every vehicle has a spring of some kind, coil, leaf, torsion, etc. The shock or strut (a type of shock) are really dampers, they control the rate the spring compresses or decompresses. When the damper wears, the spring is not controlled (we have all seen the vehicle with the wheel that keeps on hopping.) When a spring isn't controlled properly, the tire contact patch isn't consistent and you have a loss of traction. Shocks and struts make sure the rubber stays on the roads. They are crucial to both your safety and your vehicle life.
