With the busiest travel season upon us, Pep Boys Auto Service and Tires is here to keep you moving and maximize your time so you can go further, faster.
It’s a great time to inspect other areas within the vehicle while your tires are removed for replacement. During the tire changing process, technicians have direct access to the brakes and the ability to adjust the wheel alignment, both of which are essential to the performance and safety of your vehicle.
Why is brake inspection important when replacing your tires?
- Identifies potential wear issues before it becomes a larger problem, which can potentially result in reduced future repair costs
- Provides peace of mind, knowing your vehicle is safe for travel
Why is wheel alignment important when replacing your tires?
- It helps ensure the longevity of your tires. Proper alignment reduces premature tire wear and helps protect your investment.
- It improves fuel economy. An aligned vehicle drives straighter, resulting in reduced drag and trips to the gas station
- You have better ride control. Aligned vehicles ensure a solid tire “footprint,” otherwise known as the portion of your vehicle's tire tread that contacts the road surface. The better the vehicle’s “footprint,” the better the road surface contact.
