Keep in mind that the Handy Chevrolet Certified Service department also will install any tire purchased from us, up to 18 inches, for an additional $20.00!  Furthermore, our GM Certified Service facility is equipped with a Hunter gsp9700 wheel balancer which employs complete road force balance for optimum ride quality.

We respect our customers and their intellect, so we're not going to beat around the bush - the bottom line is that tires are expensive.  We know it, we know you know it, and while we offer them at a competitive price and offer great monthly service specials like the Certified Service 30-day tire match guarantee, the fact remains that tires, just like new and used Chevrolet vehicle purchases in the Burlington, VT area, are an investment.  They are, however, a necessary expenditure for safe, comfortable, controllable driving.

This being the case, our Certified Service management, advisor, and technician team has put together a few tips for caring for your tires.  For more information, schedule a service appointment and come meet with a Certified Service technician or advisor, give us a call toll-free at 888-831-2041, or simply send them an email.  Also, be sure to check a couple blogs written by Jason, our Internet sales consultant team lead:  Snow tires - do you know the RIGHT type? or his follow-up blog called Choosing quality snow tires for some more helpful tips.

Tire maintenance
Everyone knows tires are expensive whether they are all-season tires or snow tires, but most people think they have a certain timeframe that tires should last.  Did you know that proper tire maintenance can minimize treadwear and thus extend tire life?  As an added bonus, proper tire maintenance can increase fuel economy and keep you safer overall.

Tire rotation
Tires wear in different ways depending on how you drive, but it also depends on where they are placed on a car.  For instance if your front-right strut was busted, that same tire could bear more wear than the rest.  As another example, some Chevy models and tire models require diagonal rotation exclusively, as the tire manufacturer considers how your tires wear normally and how they'll be most effective next.

Proper maintenance and rotation of your tires can keep you traveling safe - as long as you rotate them according to the Owner's Manual of your specific GM of Chevy car.  The other option?  Have the tire rotation performed by a Certified Service technician like those at Handy Chevrolet of St. Albans.  Our team is trained to maximize your vehicular safety, tire life, and ultimately happiness.
