THE BENEFITS OF TIRE ROTATIONS AND WHEEL BALANCING

January 31, 2023 Sil’s Auto Care Centre

Taking care of your car tires should be at the top of every vehicle owner’s to-do list. Tires are some of the most important safety features of your car. After all, they are the only components that touch the road. They can also be quite expensive to replace, which is why it is important to extend their wear. To make sure your tires last longer and keep you riding safely on the road, make sure you perform regular tire rotations and wheel balancing at Sil’s Complete Auto Care Centre.

Tire Rotation

Naturally, on all vehicles, front tires wear more because they handle your turns and carry on slightly more weight. It is especially true in front-wheel drive vehicles. Tire rotations ensure all your vehicle’s tires wear at the same rate by switching the position of the tires periodically. When you bring your vehicle to our shop, we will move the front tires to the back, and back to the front. Some automakers may prefer to change the position in a cross-rotational pattern. We can do it according to your manufacturer’s preferences.

Typically, you can find your tire rotation interval recommendations in the car’s owner’s handbook. However, most people get their tires done every 6 months or at every oil change. That way you have a simple way of keeping track of both.

Wheel Balancing

Have you ever felt wobbly or shaky driving? That usually means it is time for a wheel balancing service. This procedure involves adjusting the weights of your wheels to balance them out. The changes may be very subtle, but they can go a long way in keeping your ride stable and smooth. And a wheel balancing service will eliminate any tire vibrations to ensure your tires wear longer. We recommend having this done every 1-2 years.

If you need a tire rotation or wheel balancing service, please do not hesitate to call or visit Sil’s Complete Auto Care Centre soon.

A yr ago, I was tired of upselling and poor service by my Dealer and my wife also needed a trusted local mechanic so, based on a neighborhood website and word of mouth, we tried Syl’s Auto for the first time and have been 100% satisfied with the work and value; and, the customer service by the team of Carlo, Susan and Tommy has exceeded all expectations! As a bonus the shuttle service to and from home has been very dependable, efficient and friendly. We highly recommend Syl’s! ❤️

I had an unexpected issue with my car yesterday, after driving for a medical appt. from 2.5 hours away. I pulled into the shop driveway with no idea what was going on and cringing at what the repair could cost and would I be stranded here for days. Carlos and Sue, were quick to find a way to fit me in. Carlos test drove my car and then, explained exactly what would need to be done step by step to diagnose and fix the issue. I was out of there with the problem solved and they even gave my car a once over and sent me a report of items that mat need attention in the near future. I left feeling relieved and satisfied 100%. Sils auto is a gem for Mississauga. Honest, caring, and accommodating. Thanks Guys for getting me in/out and back out of the city so promptly.

I’m not much of a “car guy” and am always a bit intimidated when my car needs service. Dealt with Susan, who was very helpful and friendly. The problem I had ended up being serious … and was provided very affordable options. They provide a very detailed breakdown of service. I was very impressed I’ll never bring my car anywhere else.

I found Sil's during a quick Google search for a local shop. On the road, away from home, and having some steering issues with my truck, I needed some quick help. I was extremely lucky to find a shop that was willing get my truck on a hoist and have a quick look. Fortunately it was a quieter day at Sil's, a lull in the storm before tire change season. Tommy and Susan were great in the front office. Very professional, modern setup that says they take this work seriously. They assigned Corey to help have a look. After a test drive and a thorough look while on the hoist Corey give me a rundown of possible causes (it's an old truck, there's always many possibilities). I walked away knowing much more about the condition of my truck and what I should be aware of for the future. Many thinks to Corey for his attention to detail and candor. Much appreciated. Cost of the assessment was very fair, I was given excellent documentation to help my decision making. Sil's isn't exactly convenient for me location wise, but I have to say I'd seriously consider going out of my way so Corey and the team could do the job. Many thanks. David

I have been driving many years and this is the best place i have taken my car to. Professional, friendly, and detailed in their work. They let me know what needs to be done, what will need to be done, and what was still in good order. Sent me pictures of what they were doing. My car was cleaned on the inside, which was a bonus. Price wise, they were fair... no hidden surprises. I will be going to Sil's Auto Care for all of my car needs. I would rate 10/10.

Excellent service, best I have ever experienced in vehicle servicing. It used to be just 5 bays, but with the change of location it is much bigger. Thanks for the nice waiting room Carlo!
