We’re Not in Roanoke Yet: But We’re Coming!

The size is printed on the side of your current tires, and your owner's manual lists what the car needs. Tell the shop the size, or give them your make, model and year, and ask them to confirm it.

Balancing makes sure the weight is even around the wheel. Alignment sets the angle of the wheels to the road. They are different jobs, so ask which you need and whether they are in the quote.

Ask whether the quote covers fitting, valve stems, balancing and disposal of old tires, and whether there are other fees. Ask about the tire's warranty and any road hazard cover.

Sometimes, but it depends on where and how big the damage is. Ask the shop to inspect it and tell you whether repair is safe or replacement is better.

Not always. Some cars, such as those with all-wheel drive, can need matching tires. Ask the shop what is right for your car, and check your owner's manual.

The price depends on the size and difficulty of the job. Some pros publish a starting price on their listing. Ask two or three for a written quote that says what is included, and compare the scope as well as the price.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.

By the plan a pro has chosen, then a Featured badge, then review quality. A higher plan can place a pro higher; between pros on the same plan, reviews decide. Anything paid for is labelled.
