- JSJeanne Stewart1 day ago5.0They lifted my (full size, not donut) tire in and out of the car trunk for me. I finally got around to replacing the tire. (My tire goes from inside the trunk, into use. No spare, only a full size tire. Brand name doesn't matter. as long as it fits the car.) Great customer service. Great listening! They double-checked the tire was popped. I needed to pick it up tomorrow by 3pm. (Dropped off at 10 or 10:30 a.m.) It was ready for pickup!
- SCS ChoiDec 13, 20253.0Really good service and Vince was very nice. Only thing to note is I spoke to someone else over the phone who quoted me winter tire change price without the shop fees included. It was not a major difference, but felt a bit deceptive, and with the extra fees, it's cheaper to get it done at other major chain car shops.
- FPFlavio Henrique PimentelDec 2, 20255.0I had a great experience at Fountain Tire! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The team worked efficiently and kept me updated throughout the process, which I really appreciated. A special shout-out to Lily, her professionalism and positive attitude made the whole experience even better. Thank you to the entire Fountain Tire team for the excellent service! I’ll definitely be returning.
- DDDXTOct 15, 20251.0Service staff are polite and friendly, but the actual service is painfully slow. Every visit takes much longer than the quoted time — what’s supposed to be an hour turns into two or three with this last time not actually having completed the job. Nice people, but the efficiency just isn’t there.
- SHSean HashimotoSep 19, 20255.0Vince and the team are proven professionals, he helped us with company fleet vehicles as well as our personal vehicles. They do tires plus repairs and maintenance. Added bonus, they are Wheels Leasing authorized. Excellent customer service. You’ll be pleased you brought your vehicle here.
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
- Battery test
- Tire and pressure check
- Heating/cooling system check
- 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.
