Have you ever stopped to think how much contact your car actually has with the road? Your car (and YOU) stay on the road because of 4 hand-sized pieces of rubber compound. Let’s keep your tires properly inflated and rotated. And let’s replace your tires when the tread gets worn. But there’s more to it than that. Your tires can also be an early warning system for other problems.

• Are they worn on only one side? An alignment will help to solve that problem and improve your car’s fuel efficiency.
• Does your car shake a certain speeds? It may need a wheel balance. A very slight difference in the weight from one half of your tire to the other can create a powerful vibration at high speeds.
• Worn shocks can create other difficulties with your tires.

Here at Jim Dickinson Auto Tech, we like to see your tires and know what to look for. Bring them in for a visit.

“Flat tire on my wife’s car, brought in the tire without an appointment and was looked after right away! Treated like a V.I.P. for a 15 Dollar job, says a lot about your priorities…people come first…Great Concept!! Replaced all 4 tires on wife’s car, good deal on the tires. Was given a FREE Quote for Air Bag on/off Switch, for truck, decided against it but appreciated the FREE Quotation. Newsletter must take up a lot of time to print-up, but they are appreciated…nice to have that personal touch”. ~ Len Chamberlain

“This is a great place to bring your car for maintenance or repairs. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and Jim always takes time to explain what’s wrong, what should be done immediately and what can wait-as a student I (and my bank account) found this particularly helpful. Buying new tires can be no fun at all. However, Jim helped out a lot when the time came for new tires. Rather than automatically recommending the most expensive ones (as many people would) he provided me with options, explained the pros and cons, and took my personal situation (ie. age of my car) into account. The Car Care Club is a great value, particularly as my car gets older and requires more maintenance. Going to a place where the staff remember me (and my car!) is also a definite plus.” ~ David Niven

“I Trust Jim Dickinson to look after my Oldsmobile Intrigue and to provide me with the best service and advice. Jim helped me to diagnose and solve a tire vibration problem. I was able to replace two defective tires at a very reasonable price. I appreciate the Car Care Club & I also value the excellent service reminders and advice. It takes all the worry out of car ownership” ~ Thomas Rooney

“I just wanted to thank you for the advice you gave me after our first big dump of snow in December.  I called you because the wheels on my 2001 Volkswagen Beetle felt like they were going to fall off when I drove above 60km/hr.  You asked me if I had driven through any snow banks which as it turned out, I had.  You then suggested that I take the car through a carwash because you suspected that ice had built up on my wheels.  Well, lo and behold it worked! This is just a further testament to your expertise as a mechanic and your ethics as a businessman.”
