I went in there for a nail in my tire. The workers were so friendly and kind, they resolved the issue for a great price. The mechanic also noticed that my car was leaking oil from a faulty oil change. He checked out the issue and offered to help refill my car with oil. The great service there greatly reduced my car stress. I am so thankful for the work they did!

Tire Maintenance & Repairs

⚙️ Can a flat tire be repaired or does it need to be replaced?
If the damage is limited to the tread and is not too large, it can often be repaired. Sidewall damage or large punctures usually require replacement.

⚙️ What is tire rotation and why is it important?
Tire rotation involves moving tires to different positions on the vehicle to ensure even wear. It helps extend tire life and improve performance.

⚙️ How do I know which tires are right for my vehicle?
You can find the recommended tire size and type in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the tire information placard inside the driver’s door. Ames Tire Shop can help you choose the best fit based on your driving needs.
