Tire Maintenance in VenicePosted July 27, 2016 10:47 AMWith the recent focus in the Venice area on improving fuel economy, we've been told how important it is to maintain our tire pressure. Stop by Car Doc On The Island to see about tire maintenance for your vehicle. Car Doc On The Island Every vehicle in the Venice area has a sticker on the driver's side door jamb that tells you the vehicle manufacture's recommended tire pressure. This recommendation is an integral part of the vehicle's suspension tuning. A lot of engineering actually goes into the recommended tire pressure, so it's important for drivers to follow it. For most vehicles, front tires are rotated to the rear and vice versa. Others recommend a cross rotational pattern. Some vehicles use an asymmetrical tire so those tires need to stay on either the right or left side – it'll say which on the tire. Some high performance cars have asymmetrical tires and different sizes on the front and rear. These can't be rotated at all. Your owner's manual will have details for your vehicle or ask your service advisor at Car Doc On The Island. The team at Car Doc On The Island also wants to remind you that it is important to always use the same size tire on an axle. Different size tires on the front or on the back can lead to some real handling problems. And tire manufacturers recommend that when you get two new tires, they be installed on the rear because that's where you need the most traction to avoid spinning out.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I stopped in because my coolant light had been on for a few days. Stacy had someone come out to top it off and she gave my car a quick glance and noticed one of my tires was worn funky. We scheduled them to take a look and it turned out belts in my tire broke. I needed two new tires but it could have ended up way worse if she didn't look. Grateful because I probably wouldn't have until something terrible or WAY more expensive happened.
Great customer service!
