Tire Repair & Replacement
Philadelphia Car Tire Servicing & Replacement
Tires are more than just pulling a vehicle in taking the tires off and putting new ones on. You need to learn how to listen to the customer and their needs. Here are some of the major issues we find are noise, vibrations, handling and wear.
Schafer’s Auto Center is one of the best auto repair in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia or commonly known as Philly, is the largest city in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and the sixth-most populous U.S. city. It is one of the oldest municipalities in the United States.

- 01Buying an all-season tire and not all-terrain tire
- 02House brand tires are well priced but usually cause more noise
- 03Correct speed rating. Check your cars manufacturer recommended tire size and speed rating
- 01Wheel weights fall off from age or hitting potholes.
- 02Tires need to be balanced due to normal tread wear. If you have half the tread left the weight that was needed for a new tire will not work. Simple tire balance should do the trick.
- 03Shifted belt will usually cause a severe vibration and a bad wobble. You must replace the tire itself as soon as possible. This is dangerous to drive on and will cause a blowout.
- 01Tread style. You want to make sure you are putting the correct tread style on. If you put an all-terrain tire or sport tire on a car that was designed for all-season tires, it will affect the ride and handling.
- 02Alignment. The car’s alignment is critical to how much tread actually hits the ground and how fast they wear down. If the alignment is off (which it mostly is), you could wear a tire up to 90% faster than normal. Get your alignment checked yearly. We offer FREE ALIGNMENT CHECKS all the time.
- 01Alignment. Like we said above this is one of the main reasons tires wear faster than normal.
