  • Worn brake pads

  • Heat-cracked or worn rotors

  • Loose-fitting brake pads in the caliper

  • Missing or damaged noise insulators

  • Uneven torque of lug nuts or caliper hardware

Based on your driving conditions, our expert technicians can help recommend the right maintenance schedule for your vehicle.

      WHEELS & SUSPENSION
 

There are many factors that can cause tire wear on your vehicle, such as your driving style and tire maintenance habits. Tire replacement is absolutely needed when the tread wear indicators appear. A tire’s built-in tread wear indicators look like narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread and become visible as the tire surface wears. Also, check for the signs of tire wear listed below.

 

Toe Tire Wear

Excessive wear on the inner or outer edge of the tire, commonly known as toe wear, suggests a wheel alignment issue. This typically produces a feathered wear pattern across both front tires.

Camber Tire Wear

Uneven wear on one side of a tire tread may occur when the tire is leaning due to camber misalignment.

Center Tire Wear

Center wear occurs when a tire is overinflated, resulting in the center of the tire wearing more quickly than the edges.

Cupping Tire Wear

Cupping wear occurs when a suspension/balance may be worn, bent or somehow compromised. You’ll notice a diagonal scalloping pattern on the tire.

Edge Tire Wear

Edge wear occurs when a tire is underinflated, resulting in the edge of the tire wearing quicker than the center.
