Putting winter tires on in Bowmanville is the job we do all through October and November. If the set is already on rims in your garage, we swap and balance. If the winters are loose, we mount them, balance them, and put them on the car.
Bowmanville is the east end of the lakeshore Durham drive. King Street, Liberty Street, and the 401 from the Waverley or Liberty exits are the usual routes west to Whitby. It is a longer trip than Oshawa, and it is still an easy highway run to 1020 Dundas Street East.
Do it before the first morning you need them. King Street, Liberty Street, and Highway 401 are predictable: the temperature drops, the rain turns, and every shop in Durham is full. A booked changeover beats a cancelled commute.
Roads north toward Hampton and Newcastle hold snow and ice after Bowmanville's town streets are cleared. If that is your drive to work, winter tires are the difference between rolling through it and finding out the compound in your all-seasons has frozen stiff.
We also catch the tire that should not go back on. A puncture that held air all summer can let go at highway speed in January. If the tread is down to the wear bars or the sidewall is cracked, we will show you and quote a replacement before those wheels leave the shop.
