FAQs Archive - Amer Bond Tires & Auto Repair

Q: What types of services do you offer at your mechanic and tire shop?

Our shop offers a wide range of automotive repair services including oil changes, brake repairs, engine diagnostics, and tire services such as tire rotation, balancing, and replacement. We also provide seasonal maintenance and inspections to ensure your vehicle performs well throughout the year.

Q: How often should I have my tires rotated and why is it important?

It's recommended to rotate your tires every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Tire rotation helps in achieving uniform wear across all tires, which can extend the life of your tires and improve your vehicle's handling and fuel efficiency.

Q: What should I do if my check engine light comes on?

If your check engine light comes on, it could indicate a variety of issues ranging from a simple gas cap loose to more serious engine problems. We recommend bringing your vehicle in for diagnostics to accurately identify and resolve the issue. Ignoring the check engine light can lead to more significant problems down the road.

Q: How do I know if I need new tires?

There are a few signs that indicate the need for new tires including visible tread wear, cracks or bulges on the sidewalls, and the age of the tires. A simple way to check tread depth is the "penny test": place a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head facing down; if you can see all of Lincoln's head, it's time for new tires.
