Automotive services

If it rolls,
we fix it.

We handle tires, wheels, steering, suspension, brakes and TPMS. Diagnosis first, then a quote, then the repair. Walk-ins welcome six days a week in Tyler, seven in Longview.

The standard

Our tire technicians handle every install, repair and balance with the proper equipment. We service most cars, trucks, minivans and SUVs at both shops.

Straight answers on the services we do all day: each section below includes a short explainer video showing what happens under your vehicle.

01 · Tire services

Balance. Rotate.
Repair. Replace.

Tires are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road, and pressure, balance and rotation decide how long a set lasts. We mount, balance, rotate and repair on computerized equipment, inflated to the manufacturer's spec every time. Need a new set? We stock 17 brands and match them to how you actually drive.

When to come in

Wearing out earlyWorn shoulders or centerExcessive leanSlow leak or flat

Underinflation chews up sidewalls. Overinflation chews up the center tread. Proper pressure buys you traction, fuel economy and tread life, so we set it right on every service.

02 · Wheel services

Wheels,
mounted right.

Most modern wheels are cast or forged from steel or aluminum alloy, and every set mounts and torques a little differently. We sell and install wheels for cars, trucks and SUVs, and we verify bolt pattern, offset and clearance before anything goes on.

03 · Steering & suspension

Steady steering.
Solid ride.

Steering and suspension parts control how the vehicle turns, rides and stays planted. They wear with normal driving, and off-road miles wear them faster. We inspect the system and tell you what needs adjustment or replacement.

When to come in

Shaky or stiff steeringOff-center wheelBouncing or swayingUneven tire wearHit a pothole

Suspension parts work as one unit. One worn part left alone speeds up wear on the rest, so a small repair now beats a big one later.

04 · Brake repair

Brakes
that bite.

Press the pedal and the master cylinder pressurizes hydraulic lines that squeeze pads or shoes against a disc or drum at every wheel. All that friction and heat slowly wears down pads, rotors, calipers and drums. We service front and rear systems end to end: pads, shoes, rotors, drums, parking brakes and hydraulics.

05 · TPMS repair

Sensors,
not guesswork.

Your tire pressure monitoring system warns you when a tire drops below safe inflation, and low tires hurt handling, braking and tread life long before they look flat. When the light comes on and airing up doesn't clear it, the system needs service. We diagnose and repair TPMS on most makes and models.

Not sure what's wrong?

Describe it.
We'll find it.

You don't have to walk in knowing the fix. Tell us what the vehicle is doing: the noise, when it started, where you feel it. We'll narrow it down from there. Call either shop, or drop the symptoms in the quote form and we'll call you back same-day during shop hours.
