New Tire Sales & Installation

CAR FIX partners with the world’s leading tire manufacturers to offer a wide selection of tires for every vehicle, driving style, and budget. Use our online tire finder to browse inventory, compare brands, and schedule installation at the location nearest you.

Tire Mounting

Proper tire mounting isn’t just about getting rubber on a rim, it requires precision to protect your wheels and ensure even wear. Our technicians mount all tire types exactly to manufacturer specifications, for all makes and models

Tire Balancing

Unbalanced tires cause vibration, accelerated wear, and added stress on your suspension. CAR FIX uses computerized balancing equipment to ensure your tires are evenly distributed across their wheels, giving you a smooth, stable ride and extending the life of your tires.

Tire Rotation

Tires wear unevenly depending on their position; front tires typically wear faster than rear tires. Regular rotation every 5,000–7,500 miles (or with every oil change) evens out that wear, extends tire life and protects your vehicle’s handling and fuel efficiency.

Flat Tire Repair

A flat tire isn’t always a replacement situation. If the puncture is in the repairable zone, our technicians can patch and restore your tire quickly so you’re back on the road without the cost of a new tire. We’ll give you an honest assessment, repair if we can, and replace only when we must.

Tire Pressure Check & TPMS Service

Low tire pressure reduces fuel economy and increases blowout risk. We check and adjust tire pressure as part of every service visit and can diagnose and reset your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) if the warning light is on.

Signs You Need New Tires

Don’t wait until a blowout forces the issue. Replace your tires when you notice:

  • Visible cracks, bulges, or sidewall damage
  • Frequent loss of air pressure
  • Vibration or pulling to one side while driving
  • Tires older than 6 years, regardless of appearance
  • Reduced traction in wet or slippery conditions

Frequently Asked Questions: Tire Service

How do I know when my tires need to be replaced?

The most reliable test is the penny test: insert a penny into your tread groove with Lincoln’s head pointing down. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tread is below 2/32 of an inch and your tires should be replaced immediately. Other warning signs include sidewall cracks, bulges, frequent air loss, and tires over six years old.

How often should I rotate my tires?

Most manufacturers recommend rotating tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles — conveniently, about every oil change interval. Regular rotation prevents uneven wear, extends tire life, and maintains consistent handling. CAR FIX can perform a rotation at any of our 11 East Tennessee locations, often the same day.

Can a flat tire always be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

Not every flat requires a full replacement. If the puncture is in the central tread area and smaller than 1/4 inch in diameter, it can typically be patched. Damage to the sidewall, large punctures, or tires that have been driven on while flat usually require replacement. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment before recommending any work.

What tire brands does CAR FIX carry?

Through our partnerships with leading tire manufacturers, we carry a wide selection of brands across all price points — from value options to premium performance tires. Use our online tire finder to browse available inventory at your nearest location and compare brands and prices before you visit.

Does CAR FIX offer financing for tire purchases?

Yes. CAR FIX accepts Synchrony Car Care financing, which allows you to spread the cost of new tires and installation over time. Ask about financing options when you book your appointment or visit any of our 11 East Tennessee locations.
