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.

Why us

Why choose Johnny's Automotive for tire installation

We are your trusted partner for all tire installation needs.

Bought them anywhere? We'll put them on

Online, another store, a set you've had in the garage since spring. We install tires from anywhere without the sigh at the counter, and you get the same workmanship as a set bought here.

Torque wrench on every wheel

Lug nuts go to the manufacturer's spec, in sequence, with a wrench that measures it. Our technicians are ASE certified and this is the kind of detail they don't skip when it's busy.

The install is done properly, start to finish

New valve stems, TPMS service kits, balancing before the wheel goes on, sensor relearn, old tires hauled away. It's the full list every time, not a menu of extras.

FAQ

Tire Installation questions, answered

Common questions about our tire installation services.

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.
