At CAR Tire & Auto Center, we provide complete tire maintenance to extend tread lifespan and maintain vehicle safety across Southern Minnesota:
- New Tire Sales & Sourcing
We carry a broad selection of all-season, high-performance, winter snow, and off-road light truck tires from leading brands like Kumho, Goodyear, Falken, and Michelin. - Precision Mounting & Balancing
Our mechanics utilize modern computerized balancing equipment to eliminate high-speed vibrations, guaranteeing a smooth ride at highway speeds. - Flat Tire Repair
Caught a nail? We use strict industry-standard combination patch-and-plug repairs to safely seal tread punctures from the inside out. - Wheel Alignment
Using precision alignment racks, we adjust your steering and suspension back to factory specifications to prevent premature tire scrubbing. - Scheduled Tire Rotation
Rotating your tires regularly maximizes rubber wear uniformity and preserves factory treadwear mileage warranties. A good rule of thumb is to rotate your tires every other oil change (or roughly every 3,000–5,000 miles).
