Tires bought here, shipped to us, or carried in. Same install either way: careful mounting, new valve stems, TPMS service, balancing, and torque to spec.

Will you install tires I bought somewhere else?
Short answer: yes, and no attitude about it. Ordered a set online and had it shipped here, picked them up somewhere and threw them in the trunk, or bought them from us. Either way they get installed the same, by the same technicians, to the same standard. Getting them on your car correctly is the job.
Correctly is the part worth explaining. Mounting comes first, and the bead, the edge of the tire that seals against the wheel, is easy to damage if you rush it. A hurt bead means a slow leak you'll be chasing for months and blaming on everything else. Alloy and painted wheels mark up easily too, so they get handled with that in mind.
New valve stems go on with new tires. A rubber stem that's been sitting in Florida sun for years isn't something to reuse behind fresh rubber. If your vehicle has tire pressure sensors, they get a service kit, meaning the small seals and grommets that keep the sensor sealed in the wheel, and after the install the system gets relearned so your dash reads the right pressure at the right corner.
Every tire gets balanced before the wheel goes back on the car. Then the lug nuts get set with a torque wrench, to the number your manufacturer published, in the right sequence. Not an impact gun and a guess. Over tightened lugs warp rotors and seize studs, under tightened lugs work loose. Doing it properly costs another minute.
Your old tires stay with us and get disposed of the right way, so you're not stacking four of them in the garage wondering what to do with them.

New to the area, so after reading Google reviews, i went to Johnny's with some dashboard lights on. They were very courteous and friendly and once they ran the diagnostic tests explained the issues that were found. The waiting room is comfortable, clean and well stocked. They sent me home and when my car was ready the next day they had me picked up. My car is running like new. Will not hesitate returning for any other issues that may pop up and I highly recommend their service. Update. Back for regular service and maintenance, including new tires. Still very impressed with this business and everyone I have encountered there. Will continue to go there for anything and everything associated with my vehicle, as they have my full trust.

They've changed the tires on my car twice and done an alignment once. I've had excellent customer service both times. The first time they really bent over backwards to get my tire changed on July 3rd before the holiday weekend and I could not have been happier. Also it's super cute inside the office if you haven't gone go get a service done and wait inside, it's so cute. They even have an oldies movie playing. So far my experiences with them have been top tier all the way. Oh and there were roses in my car when I picked it up today!!! 🌹

*Updated 5/22/26* First of all I have never in my 59 years ever had a good experience at a garage until today. I was greeted by Mike and Kevin in the Lake Wales Johnny's Automotive they were very cordial very friendly very professional and they just changed my thinking on mechanics and garages from a zero to a 10. I never thought spending a bunch of money would be such a good experience especially at a shop while I'm here to tell you if you need any work done I highly highly recommend when you go there to ask for either Kevin or Mike to assist you give you a quotes they even left a rose on my steering wheel how awesome is that God bless them and I will be back for sure thank you for an awesome experience guys. Edit: 4th visit and just as great as my 1st. Went in to get just a oil change. Went in had coffee while my car was being serviced. Mike Mgr. You won't find anyone any kinder, funny & professional than him. Customer service is impeccable !! Mike makes you feel like it's your first time every time. He knows the automotive business, he's super sharp that's for sure. Kevin is a awesome man too knows what he's talking about and made me feel welcome as always. Jerry: Thank you for taking great care of my Nissan Rogue Brother You guys at Johnny's Automotive in Lake Wales Rock !! Monday July 28th These guys at Johnny's Automotive are pure classy( Tried to take pictures of the 2 long stem roses that Mike gave me to give my wife.Sorry picture wouldnt post)you don't get roses at any other dealership new used or any garage that I am ever aware of. Thank you Mike Kevin and Jerry for your outstanding service once again you guys are awesome !! *Updated 5/22/26* ❤️🙏 If I could give Johnny’s Automotive 10 stars, I absolutely would! I cannot say enough great things about the incredible experience I had with them. They repaired the front end of my vehicle, fixed my air conditioner, and replaced my tires — and everything came out PERFECT. My car honestly drives and feels better than it has in years. From the moment I walked in, the customer service was top-tier. Everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about helping me. Their mechanics clearly know exactly what they’re doing because the quality of the work was outstanding, and they kept me updated throughout the entire process. But the real standout was the manager, Mike. Mike went above and beyond in every possible way. It’s rare these days to meet someone so personable, honest, and genuinely kind. He treated me like family instead of just another customer. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. You can tell he truly cares about both his customers and the reputation of Johnny’s Automotive. Finding an automotive shop you can fully trust is hard, but Johnny’s Automotive in Lake Wales absolutely earned my trust and my future business. If you need repairs, tires, AC work, or honestly anything automotive-related, this is the place to go. Huge thanks to Mike and the entire team for doing such an amazing job. Highly, highly recommended! Rebecca was also great took me home and picked me up via courtesy vehicle. Very friendly and super kind. These folks are one of a kind. You don’t get this kind of service at a dealership that’s for sure. I did not expect the extra mile they went. Professionally, Lifetime Customer Paul Vigna

Tire Installation questions, answered
Common questions about our tire installation.
Can I have tires shipped directly to the shop?
Yes. Let us know they're on the way and which location they're headed to, and we'll receive them and get you on the schedule. It saves you hauling four tires around in your back seat.
Will you install just one tire?
Sure. One tire, two, or a full set, we'll put on what you've got. If mixing a new tire with worn ones is a problem for your particular vehicle, we'll explain why before we do it rather than after.
What is a TPMS relearn and does my car need one?
It's the step that teaches your vehicle which pressure sensor is at which corner after the wheels have been off or the sensors disturbed. Without it, the dash can show the wrong tire or leave a warning light on. If your vehicle has sensors, that step is part of the installation.
Can you mount tires on wheels that aren't attached to a car?
Yes. Bring the wheels and tires in on their own and we'll mount and balance them so they're ready to bolt on. Just know we can't torque them to your car or run a sensor relearn without the vehicle here.
What if the tires I bought aren't right for my vehicle?
We check size, load rating, and speed rating against what your vehicle calls for before anything goes on the machine. If something doesn't match up, you'll hear about it while you can still exchange them. We'd rather have that conversation up front than install something we're not comfortable with.
