To make sure your tires are being used as efficiently as possible and to keep you safe (and to save money from increasing the lifespan of your tires), we recommend coming in for a tire rotation every 6,000-8,000 miles.

If my tires need to be replaced, what kind should I get?
If your tires need to be replaced, or you would like a second set of tires for your vehicle, you do not have to purchase the same tires that your vehicle came with. When it comes to tire buying, there are several options depending on the following factors:
-The type of vehicle you drive: Most consumer vehicles, including sedans, trucks, CUVs, sport cars, coupes, minivans, SUVs, and luxury vehicles, all use the same types of tires. It is important to know the make, model and year of your vehicle to determine which tires are right for you. We at Horacio Auto Service & Brakes can help with this.
-How you drive: If you drive your vehicle often and/or frequently drive in rough terrain, you will probably benefit from having a second set of tires for your car and/or replacing the tires that came with your car with more durable ones.
-The weather: For drivers that live in snowy or muddy environments during certain times of the year, it is important to have seasonal tires (in this case, winter tires) that are built to handle this kind of weather.
Our Reliable technicians can assist you in choosing which tires are right for your vehicle. In general, here are the types of tires on the market today:
-All season tires
-Performance all-season tires
-Summer tires
-All-terrain truck tires
