Automotive Tire Rotation Service

Regular tire rotation helps maintain even tread wear and lengthens service life, which can save you money. Properly rotated tires also help you stay safe on the road, especially if you’re driving on wet pavement.

Manufacturers recommend a tire rotation every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but that varies depending on your driving environment and the age of your tires. Some manufacturers also require regular tire rotations to keep a valid warranty. We can help you adhere to those guidelines and protect your investment.

Each vehicle requires a different rotation pattern to promote optimal wear. Bauer Built has decades of experience servicing passenger vehicles, so you can rest assured your vehicle is in expert hands. Our tire rotation process includes a thorough assessment before and after rotation to ensure quality service. That also allows our expert technicians to spot signs of potential damage that could become costly issues.

What’s Included in Your Automotive Tire Rotation Service

Tire Inspection

Our technicians assess tread depth to determine if enough traction remains for safe driving. We look for uneven wear patterns and bulging, which may indicate issues such as misalignment or poor suspension. Part of our inspection includes checking for debris, punctures, brake wear and tire balance, too.

Tire Rotation

Most tires are rotated left to right and front to back, to create even wear. However, your vehicle’s drivetrain will dictate how we complete the rotation. We can also balance your tires during rotation to ensure even weight distribution if necessary. Our technicians will check your tire pressure, as well.

Wheel Torque Check

Our tire rotation process includes checking lug nuts to ensure they are tightened to the correct torque specification. That secures the lug nuts to the wheel to enhance vehicle handling and safety. Proper torque also reduces the risk of uneven tread wear on tires and suspension components.

Alignment Inspection

Our technicians adjust the angle of each camber, caster and toe to the manufacturer’s specifications. Proper alignment optimizes vehicle handling and overall performance. Alignment also reduces rolling resistance and enhances fuel efficiency.

Our Tire Rotation Process

Accurate tire rotation depends on the vehicle and tires. Bauer Built follows the manufacturer’s recommendations on rotation patterns.

If you need regular rotations, Bauer Built will monitor the status of your tires and rotate them free if you’ve purchased the tires from us or when you’re in for an oil change. We will test and rotate your tires and keep your investment well-balanced.

FAQs

Your tires may need to be rotated if you notice:
  • Excess wear in the front of the tires
  • Wear on one side
  • Feathering or cupping
  • Steering wheel vibrations
  • Vehicle pulling to one side
Rotating your tires regularly ensures even wear distribution as certain tire positions are more prone to deterioration. Preventing uneven or premature wear can extend the life of your tires, allowing you to get the most from your investment.
A tire rotation typically takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
