Selecting tires is an important decision that affects the safety, performance, and cost of owning a motor vehicle.
Just as important as selecting the right tires is to have those tires installed and balanced by a trained technician. Without proper installation and balancing, you may find that your vehicle ‘pulls’ to one side, your steering wheel shakes, or you’re spending more money on gas.
Granados Tire Company provides a range of tire services, including the following:
Mounting and removing a tire from a wheel requires specialist equipment and knowledge. Tires have markings, generally referred to as the ‘GG ring’, and when installed this marking needs to be checked to make certain that the tire’s bead is seated correctly. Wheels are typically equipped with a rib that locks the tire’s bead in place, good fitment will ensure the best outcome in the event of rapid deflation and will ensure good wear and handling. Remember too that often tires are required to rotate in a set direction.
Wheel alignment is the position of the wheels relative to your car. When properly aligned, the wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist your steering commands, as well as each other. Alignment also affects gas mileage and tire wear. If your tires are pointed in different directions, they fight against each other and can cause tread wear.
Wheel balance refers to the proper distribution of weight around a revolving tire and wheel assembly. Poor wheel balance can have a marked impact on both your car and your safety.
The changing and maintaining of your vehicle's fluids is one of the most important forms of preventative maintenance on today's cars and trucks. These services include coolant flushes, brake flushing, power steering flushing, transmission servicing and fuel injection cleaning. Most part/unit failure are caused worn or contaminated fluids.

When your car won’t start, most of the time it is due to a problem with your battery. Our technicians can help to ensure that your car starts as expected. Every time.
The braking system is one of the most important parts of your vehicle. For safe stopping you should have your brakes inspected regularly. We have the equipment and trained technicians to maintain, repair, and inspect your brake system to keep you safe and help you avoid costly repairs in the future.
In addition to providing a comfortable ride, shocks and struts provide the critical function of keeping your wheels in proper contact with the road; vital to safe steering and braking.
