The Best Tire Shop in New Windsor

GARBER'S AUTOMOTIVE INC

Tires are the single most important safety feature on your car. They are the only thing that connects the car to the road, and life-saving technologies like anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control cannot do their job if the tires don't have a good grip on the pavement.

As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Car owners still need to replace their tires a few times or more throughout the life of a typical vehicle. Despite advances in longer-lasting tires, actual tread life will vary by car type, tire type (such as all season or high performance), driving aggressiveness, and even road and weather conditions. Proper maintenance and responsible driving can maximize the mileage in a set of tires.

We offer these services to help you prolong the life of your tires.

Alignments
Wheel alignment (or simply alignment) is standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not all mechanics get it right. To have experts handle your car's alignment, visit Garber's Automotive Inc.

Balancing
If you feel excessive vibration in the car, or wobbling of the steering wheel, your tires may be unbalanced. Garber's Automotive Inc has the professional equipment and technicians to measure the balance of your vehicle's tires and make necessary corrections. Call us at 410-775-2800 if you have questions, or contact us so we can evaluate your tires.

We Offer Most Major Brands of Tires
At Garber's Automotive Inc, we understand that tires are an important part of your car. The quality of tires and material used on them highly affects the vehicle's performance. Their main purpose is to protect the wheel's rims and improve vehicle performance. For this reason, we only deal with brand name tires. Also, we offer fleet tire management services to ensure you are getting the best value, fuel economy, and life from your tires.

Once a need for new tires is determined, it is necessary to identify the best tires for your vehicle and driving demands. Look for tires that do well in tests for braking, handling, and resistance to hydroplaning. Winter traction should also be considered, if applicable. Let tread wear, ride comfort, noise, and rolling resistance be tiebreakers. Trust the tire experts at Garber's Automotive Inc to help you choose the right tires for your vehicle.

We offer most major brands of tires. These are a few of our preferred brands.

  • Vehicle tips

    • According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
    • The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
    • Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
    • Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
    • Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
    • A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
    • Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
    • Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
    • Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
    • Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
    • Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
    • Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
    • Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
    • Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
    • Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
    • Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
    • Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
    • Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
    • Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
    • Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

Testimonials

    Garber's customer service is always wonderful; they make sure that you feel like family. I know that when I take my vehicle in for service or repair, I will receive an honest diagnosis of the problem and a fair price.

  • reviewicon
    The only place where I take my car to be taken care of. They are always so thorough and let me know what exactly is happening with my car. I cannot recommend Garber's highly enough.

    I worked with Garber to have new tires and brakes installed on my 2013 Mazda CX-5. Had a great experience, the work was completed on schedule without any problems. Price was in line with what was quoted and there were no surprises. Car was returned clean, free of damage and worked/drove like new! Very professional shop, it's obvious that they know what they're doing. I would definitely work with them again in the future and would feel comfortable recommending their services to family/friends.

    I love Garber's Automotive. The owner Clark is honest and very reasonable in the cost of whatever mechanical work I have needed done. I have had quotes for work to be done on my car at other automotive places and Garber's is always quality work at a reasonable cost. I feel the mechanics are thorough and do not try to fix anything that does not need to be fixed to increase the cost of my bill. I know that I know nothing about cars, but I never feel taken advantage of because of my lack of knowledge. I very highly recommend Garber's, I am sure your experience will be like mine.

    Always a great experience. I've been taking my cars there for several years and have never been disappointed. Honest, competent service at a fair price. Went in recently for what I was afraid was going to be a major repair and the bill came to under $100 (even though they knew I was prepared to pay more if the car needed it). I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
