No one likes to tire shop. It can be tedious and while it might seem all tires are the same, this is not the case. Choosing the right tire shop can go a long way toward making the tire buying process a bit easier.  it can also make your car safer for you. However, how do you know if a tire shop is good? Fortunately, the tire experts over at Flat On The Spot Mobile Tire Service LLC in Anchorage, AK, have put together a few questions to ask yourself when evaluating a tire shop.

3 Questions To Ask A Prospective Tire Shop

How Extensive Is Their Stock?

The first thing you want to look for when picking a tire shop is the number of choices and brands of tires they have available for quick installation. When selecting the tires you would like for your car, truck or SUV, it is nice to have more than one or two brands, sizes or types of tires from which to choose.  Having several brands means you are better able to find a set of tires in the size and price range you can afford. Also, if they have an extensive stock, you are more likely to be able to drive away that day with new tires, instead of waiting.

Do They Offer Used Tires?

Used tires can be a short-term economical solution if you are not quite ready or not sure you are willing to make the investment in all new tires. Plus, it is an indication they are ready to do what is necessary to save you money and keep you as a customer, instead of just offering new options. However, when buying used tires, be certain there’s adequate tread, so you will not be back there, six months from now, looking for tires for your car, again.

How Is Their Customer Service?

You also want to choose a tire shop where the employees put the customer first.  When you go into the store, do they ignore customers standing at the counter? Are technicians standing around while customers wait for their cars, sometimes for hours? Do they smile and greet you in a sincere way when you walk in the door? Tires are a significant investment for any car – some car tires can reach $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 for a set of four. No matter how much, or how little, you are spending on your tires, everyone should be treated as a valued guest.  Choose a shop who appreciates your business.
