Tire Services

The certified technicians at our repair shop are experts in providing high-quality tire services, including wheel alignments, tire installations, tire balancing, tire rotations and tire inspections.

Wheel Alignment

Our wheel alignment service will give you the best driving experience. It helps your vehicle drive smoother, your tires last longer, and ultimately keeps your wheels pointed in the right direction. Just like how your shoes can wear, so do your tires, and if your wheels are not properly aligned, they can wear unevenly.

A wheel alignment service is very important because it can expand the life of your tires. Even the smallest alignment issue can result in an uneven tire wear. Once your wheels are properly aligned, it’s smooth cruising ahead, saving you tire wear, fuel, and ultimately...money.

Tire Installation

It's very important to perform regular tire maintenance, not just for the safety of your family, but also to ensure a long lifespan for your vehicle. You are advised to always consult with your owner's manual in terms of finding the proper tire size for the year, make and model of your vehicle. When you purchase new tires, they have to be in sets of 4, or at least in matching groups of 2 on each axle. This extends the life of your new tires and keeps your tire wear even.

Tire Balancing

Tire Balancing is important to increase the basic safety of your vehicle and extend the life of your tires. The certified technicians at our auto repair shop are here to help with all of your tire balancing and tire service needs.

Tire balancing happens each time you replace your vehicle's tires. Since tires wear depending on road problems and driving practices, uneven wear can be visible after the initial 1,000-2,000 miles of use. It’s important to check your tires balance every 4,000-6,000 miles. Our certified technicians can assist in determining if your tires need to be balanced and rotated based on mileage and wear.

Tire Rotation

Your vehicle's weight is not distributed evenly to all four corners. If you leave all 4 tires just the way they are, some tires would eventually wear out faster than others. We know that a tire rotation is an essential part of making your tires last longer. The tire rotation process consists of moving your tires from front to back, moving them from one side of your vehicle to the other or a combination of both.

Uneven tire wear could bring about unsatisfactory gas efficiency, poor performance, reduce the life of the new tire and can easily cause safety problems. Regular tire rotation helps eliminate premature tire wear and could save you a lot of money on new tires. Visit our auto repair shop and let our trained technicians rotate your tires.

Tire Inspection

Tires need to be checked on a regular basis for damage, such as stones, nails or other sharp objects that may have penetrated the tire. They also need to be checked for bulges, tears or cuts that might be the result of contact with road hazards. If you have doubts about the condition of your tires, it's best to have them inspected by our technicians. Our auto repair shop is known for performing top-notch tire inspection services.

TPMS

Most vehicles today are equipped with a Tire-Pressure-Monitoring System or TPMS. The TPMS is an electronic system used to monitor the air pressure inside your tires and alert you if they become under-inflated. If your “low pressure” warning light comes on, it means your tire pressure has dropped below the manufacturer’s recommended level, and you should bring your vehicle in for service. We recommend you have your tire pressure checked every time your vehicle is in for service, and your TPMS checked every time you have your tires rotated or balanced. A malfunctioning TPMS will fail to alert you if your tire pressure is too low or alert you when your tire pressure is adequate. A failing TPMS can lead to low tire pressure, which can contribute to increased braking distances and poor handling while driving around Coopersville. Properly inflated tires will ensure that your car, truck, or SUV is getting optimal fuel economy and tire life. Underinflated tires are the top cause of tire failure. If you're seeing an illuminated TPMS light on your dashboard, and your tires are properly inflated, or your tires are low, and you don't see a TPMS light on your dash, give Auto Source Of West Michigan in Coopersville a call at (616) 837-9447, or click the 'Request Appointment' button today. 

Tire Pressure Sensor

The tire pressure sensor is part of a vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). If tire pressure is low, the yellow indicator light on your dashboard will appear. If the warning light comes on when all tires are fully inflated, or the tire pressure is low and the light does not appear, your TPMS could be malfunctioning. If ignored too long, under-inflated tires can lead to poor handling, loss of control, decreased fuel economy, and a greater chance of an accident. In some vehicles, cold weather can trigger the TPMS system, causing an illuminated TPMS light on your dashboard. If your TMPS light is on, and your tires are properly inflated, or not on, and your tires are low, give Auto Source Of West Michigan in Coopersville a call, or schedule an appointment on our website today.
