Volkswagen Tire Service in Devon

Tire service is an essential part of your car's routine maintenance. The tires on your vehicle keep you firmly planted to the road as you drive around Malvern, Wayne, PA, and beyond. Whether you're behind the wheel of a brand-new Volkswagen Atlas or you're cruising through the streets of Norristown in your vintage VW Bug, you'll want to make sure that the wheels and tires are in tip-top shape. Here are just a few of the recommended tire services and routine maintenance items that our team recommends. Learn more about each and then schedule your next tire service appointment at our Fred Beans Volkswagen of Devon dealership.


Wheel Alignments

What is a Wheel Alignment?

A wheel alignment is an adjustment of your car's suspension. It makes sure that your wheels are at the correct angle against the road and with each other. Your wheels can be knocked out of alignment because you've hit a big pothole, got into an accident, or hit a curb a little too hard.

Is Alignment Different from Balancing?

Yes. An alignment stops your car from pulling to one side. Balancing helps to stop your steering wheel from shaking.

How Do I Know I Need a Wheel Alignment?

There are several signs that your car needs a wheel alignment. If your car veers to one side when it should be going straight, if the steering wheel stays crooked when you're driving in a straight line, or if your tires squeal, you most likely need a wheel alignment.

Tire Rotations

What is a Tire Rotation?

A tire rotation is a routine maintenance service that changes the position of each tire to make sure they are receiving even wear.

Why is a Tire Rotation Necessary?

Yes! Not every tire wears at the same rate. If you keep your car's tires in the same place, one will wear faster than the others, causing a higher risk for blowouts and flat tires. Once one tire is worn, it will need to be replaced, meaning that you'll be spending more money on tires in the long run.

How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?

Your car's tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or at every oil change. A tire rotation is a routine maintenance service that takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

Tire Inspections

What is a Tire Inspection?

A tire inspection is a visual and physical check of the tires on a vehicle. The technician will look for proper inflation, making sure that the tires aren't over-inflated or under-inflated. They'll also inspect for any damage to the tire wall and to make sure the tread depth is within its normal range. If anything is found out of place or not correct, then the technicians will inform you of the problem and their recommended solution.

Why is a Tire Inspection So Important?

Tire inspections are important because they catch any damage early, helping to prevent dangerous blowouts and flat tires throughout your daily drives.

Can I Do a Tire Inspection Myself?

Yes. You absolutely can inspect your car's tires. Check the pressure of each tire, the tread depth, and make sure that there aren't any dings or tears on the tire walls.

Tire Changes

What is a Tire Change?

Tire changes are when the old tires on your vehicle are switched out for brand-new tires. You can also switch out your summer tires for winter tires and vice versa.

When Should You Change Your Car's Tires?

Because of the winter weather in Pennsylvania, it's recommended to have your car's tires changed every winter/summer season. You should switch out your summer tires for winter tires and back again at the appropriate times. You should also change your car's tires when they are too damaged to be a safe option.

Should You Change Tires in Pairs?

Yes. Replacing the tires on the same axle maintains the balance, traction, and braking power.
