- MAMichael aOct 18, 20255.0Great experience at this location! With an extremely busy day, I thought the flat tire on my flat bed was going to give me a huge delay. Arrived, and by chance met one of the shop technicians at the front desk. His name is James! Honorable man. He took care of me right away, and provided professional, and pleasant experience. Got the puncture patched up in no time, and I was on my way. Much appreciated. This man needs to be recognized. Thanks James
- PPpcp4474May 29, 20252.0Work was fine, however the twenty minute job that I dropped off at the exact time of my appointment took four hours. Wasn't any open parking spots.
- BLBrad LabergeSep 25, 20205.0Great service and knowledgeable staff.
- AVAndrew VJun 24, 20181.0Had some basic wheel balancing done and planned to do will alignment eventually , unfortunately a few day later found out that my torque bar has been stolen, when went there again to check some issues with emergency brake, had seen one of their employees holding exact same brake bar that I was missing, confronted management about it over the phone hoping he will do the right thing, but unfortunately they’ve decided to deny it even after the fact I’ve seen it being used by their employee, the bar was bought in Canadian tire so I knew for a fact that guy couldn’t possibly have the same one since the manager did confirm their tools supplier isn’t can. Tire. Later down the road also found out that the suggested replacement of lower ball joints by fountain tire was just a way to milk me for $, since I did order the parts and when my friend who happens to be mechanic and I started disassembling wheels we were unpleasantly surprised to find out that lower ball joints were perfectly fine, but did see 3 leaking shock absorbers that “experts” in fountain tire for some reason had nothing to say about. Wouldn’t trust this place ever again, but if you do at least make a note of what you have for tools in your vehicle since these guys won’t shy away from taking them and then try to make loonie out of you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fountain Tire
When should I replace my tires?
Tires wear out over time, and how long they last depends on things like road conditions, driving habits, inflation, and temperature. The best way to know when to replace them is to check them regularly.
Common ways to measure tread include the following.
- Tread wear bars: When these are flush with the tread, it’s time to replace.
- Coin test: If too much of the coin shows, your tread is low.
- Tread depth gauge: The most accurate way to measure.
If your tread is low or you see cracks, bulges, or notice vibration, come see us.
What are some signs my vehicle is out of alignment?
It doesn’t take much to throw your alignment off—potholes, curbs, or just everyday driving. Poor alignment can lead to faster tire wear and poor handling.
Common signs include:
- Vehicle pulls to one side
- Crooked steering wheel
- Uneven tire wear
- Loose or unstable steering
- Vibration in the steering wheel
If something feels off, we’re happy to take a look.
What’s included in the seasonal car care package?
Our seasonal car care package gets your vehicle ready for the weather ahead. It includes:
- Fresh engine oil and filter
- Chassis lubrication (as needed)
- Charging and starting system check
- Brake inspection
- Fluid top-ups
- Belt and hose inspection

- Lights, wipers, and overall safety check
It’s a great way to make sure your vehicle is ready for the season.
What do the numbers on my tires mean?
The numbers on your tire’s sidewall tell you the size, load rating, and speed rating.
Example: 225/55R17 97H
- 225 – Tire width (mm)
- 55 – Height as a % of width
- R – Radial construction
- 17 – Wheel diameter (inches)
- 97 – Load rating (how much weight it can carry)
- H – Speed rating (maximum safe speed)
These numbers help us match you with the right tire.
When should I put my winter tires on?
A good rule of thumb: when you can see your breath — about 7°C and below. At that temperature, all-season tires start to harden, while winter tires stay flexible and grippy. Booking early helps you beat the rush.
