Flat Tire
Repair |
Punctures
or flat tires can be repaired
providing they does not affect the structure of
the tire. Upon inspection of the tire, TireTrade
technician will be able to advise you if your
tire falls into this category.
Tires can only be repaired in the central area
of the tire - the sidewalls are not repairable,
and for V rated tires and above, only one repair
is allowed. However, before any repair is
carried out, the tire must be fully inspected
for any signs of internal damage which could
cause tire failure.
A flat tire repair usually
takes around 30 minutes to complete. It involves
deflating and removing the flat tire from the
rim, assessing and repairing the puncture before
re-fitting it to the rim and balancing the tire
on the wheel. It is then fitted to your vehicle
and your spare placed back into storage. |

Suspension System
Repairs |
|
The
vehicle's ability to absorb shock and maintain
contact with the road surface is dependent on
the suspension.Your car's suspension is a system
of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that
connect your vehicle to its wheels and support
its weight.
If you get the feeling that your car wants to
turn when you want to go straight; if your car
leans excessively in curves or if you see little
scallops in your tire tread (known as "cupped
tires"), these are all signs that something may
be going on with your suspension.
TireTrade technicians can perform detailed
diagnostic check to determine the exact cause of
the problem and make repairs before additional
damage occurs. |

Pads, Rotors, and Break Service |
Brakes
are one of the top safety features on your
vehicle. With every push of the brake pedal, the
pads are working hard to stop a vehicle weighing
about 2 tons. These pads slowly wear down, so
maintaining them is extremely important.
At TireTrade, we service all types of brakes,
including front, rear, anti-lock, and emergency.
When you come in, one of our technicians will do
a thorough brake inspection to determine what is
needed, giving you the opportunity to ask
questions and learn more about your vehicle. We
take pride in educating our customers.
If you suspect your brakes may need to be
replaced, be sure to have them inspected right
away. Delaying simple fixes can lead to more
extensive and costly repairs. |

Tire Rotation |
|
Rotating your tires periodically is an essential
part of tire maintenance. The main purpose of
regularly rotating tires is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle to
maximize its life.
If no rotation period or
pattern is to be found in your owner's
documentation, rotate your tires at least every
10,000km and follow one of the suggested
patterns.
However, you can rotate your tires earlier if
irregular or uneven wear develops, and check
with one of our professional staff here at
TireTrade to determine the cause of the wear
problem.
Remember that a hard impact such as
hitting a hole or a sidewalk can cause
misalignment, which then causes uneven tire
wear. |
