5 stars JASONH Featured review

We've had two cars in to Carolina Tire & Auto for repair and/or service THIS week! Thank you for making the process quick, simple and as painless as possible.
A quick shout out to Kelly - THANK YOU! During a phone call close to the time we were expecting to pick our vehicle up, we learned the primary service we required, The State Inspection, most was not completed. The inspection computer was acting up. Kelly didn't skip a beat and must have jumped in the car before she even reset the telephone handset. She scooted down the road, had the inspection handled and got the key back in our hands as quickly as humanly possible. Go Kelly, you're a ROCKSTAR! Go Kelly, you're a ROCKSTAR!
Many thanks for making us feel like our business matters!

Carolina Tire Services Cars with Extended Warranties

Yes, Carolina Tire can service your vehicle if you have an extended warranty. We work with 99% of the extended warranty companies, and we take care of all the details for you. There's no need to return to the dealer. If you don't have an extended warranty and you're planning to keep your vehicle well beyond its factory warranty period, you may want to consider an extended warranty. An extended warranty can deliver peace of mind while literally saving you thousands of dollars. We see these policies pay off every day for our customers. While Carolina Tire does not endorse any warranty company; here are some of the companies we have dealt with: Luxury Care; Secure Care; Xtra Care; Power Shield; Easy Care; CarMax; Max Care: Extended Car Warranty; Warranty Direct; Auto Warranty; CNA Warranty Co.; CNA National Warranty; Fidelity Easy Care; Continental Warranty; Old Republic; Direct Buy Warranty; AA Auto Protection; Car Guard: Associates Underwriting Limited; AVL Corp.; US Direct Protect; Direct Buy Warranty; The Warranty Group; Protective Asset Protection and Auto Warranty Agency.

Before you buy, here are some words of wisdom: The best time to buy a policy is typically before the factory warranty expires, often around 3 years or 36,000 miles. Vehicles meeting these criteria qualify for a "new car policy," which offers more extensive coverage at a better price than "used car coverage." You do not need to buy the service contract when you buy the car. Many companies sell excellent warranties independent of dealerships and car lots. Consumers often buy a policy with their new car because they can roll the cost into the monthly car payment. Otherwise, there is no overwhelming benefit. For the best protection, choose a warranty with "exclusionary" coverage. This is the most common type of policy, and it covers all components except for a few clearly stated exceptions. Conversely, non-exclusionary coverage specifies which components are covered. If a failed part isn't listed, it isn't covered. Always purchase a policy that permits you to use the repair facility of your choice when extended warranty work is needed. A few policies require buyers to return to the selling dealership. Some policies limit the amount per hour they will pay for labor. A few pay a maximum of $60 per hour, which is substantially below the per-hour average in most areas. Look for a policy that does not cap the labor costs or for one that pays $100 or more per hour. Choose a service contract that charges one deductible per claim, not per procedure. For example, if you have a $50 deductible per claim and you're addressing three warranty repairs in one service visit, you will pay $50 for the claim. If your deductible is charged per procedure, you will pay $150. Keep in mind that extended warranties are not designed to cover all repair costs in all situations. For example, diagnostic procedures are not always covered and are rarely covered in their entirety. In the case of a noise caused by a faulty wheel bearing, the warranty company will cover the labor and parts for replacing the wheel bearing. But the company may not cover the time required to diagnose the condition. Even though you can still expect some out-of-pocket costs, they will be minimal compared to paying for the repair on your own. It is smart to perform some due diligence on the underwriting company. Not all of them are solvent, and some consumers have been left without coverage even after paying for it.

Need A Suspension Inspection At Carolina Tire& Auto In Charlotte?

Need A Suspension Inspection At Carolina Tire& Auto In Charlotte?

Your suspension system keeps your car up off the road. From there, it’s responsible for a smooth and comfortable ride around Charlotte. It also keeps your sedan wheels firmly planted over bumps and through curves on Charlotte roads and interstates.

Your suspension system has many critical parts that do a big job. They should be inspected for damage and excessive wear at least once a year. A good time would be when you get your alignment check in Charlotte.

Here are some warning signs of suspension problems: the sedan pulls to one side, wandering, erratic steering, uneven tire wear, leaning, shocks bottom out, poor ride or handling, oil leaking from shocks, and excessive bouncing.

Now sedan suspension parts just wear out over time. Shocks and struts eventually lose their ability to control your ride. If you’re in an accident, your sedan suspension can be damaged or knocked out of alignment. Even a minor accident, like hitting a curb, pothole or large rock can mess things up.
If you suspect suspension problems, ask for an inspection and let the Super Service Agents technicians at Carolina Tire & Auto in Charlotte set things right.

Why Charlotte Driver's Should Change Their Transmission Fluid

It’s easy for Charlotte car owners to forget about servicing their transmission because it doesn’t need it very often, but proper transmission service keeps your sedan running smoothly and helps you avoid costly repairs down the road.

The transmission undergoes a lot of stress. The grit you see in used fluid is actually bits of clutch material. This grit flowing through your transmission under pressure eats away at seals and gaskets which can lead to leaks.

The transmission operates at very high temperatures – about a hundred degrees higher than engine temperatures. Those high temperatures eventually cause the transmission fluid to start to break down and lose efficiency. At best, your sedan transmission won’t operate smoothly. At worse, it could lead to costly damage.

When your transmission’s running properly, it transfers more power from your sedan engine to the drive wheels, and improves fuel economy. That’s why vehicle manufacturers recommend you change transmission fluid at regular intervals. Your sedan owner’s manual has a schedule for transmission service and, of course, your Super Service Agents Carolina Tire & Auto service advisor can tell you what the manufacturer recommends.

Your Charlotte service center may be able to perform a transmission service while you wait and the cost is quite reasonable. Actually, it’s downright cheap when you think about how much a major transmission repair can cost!

When to replace your tires?

A great question from a Carolina Tire & Auto customer...


Q: My father is notoriously frugal, and I tell him he should replace his old dry-rotted tires even though they still have plenty of tread. Can you please explain why I'm right? 


A: I think our dads might be brothers. Tire replacement is pretty straightforward to the cost-conscious: when the tread wears down or a hole can't be patched. The reality is more nuanced than that. Tires are complex components that undergo amazing stresses during even the most mundane of drives. It took the better part of 50 years and a world war before motorists could depend on reaching a far-away destination without fixing one or two flats. As rubber technology and steel-belting techniques improved, tires became a very reliable part of the car—we just don't expect blowouts and punctures. 

Tires do degrade over time, though, and that process is called dry rot. Oils and chemicals in the rubber compound start to evaporate or break down because of UV exposure. The rubber loses its flexibility and begins to crack at the surface, and the structure becomes more and more brittle (think of a really old rubber band), leading to sidewall damage and eventual failure. And we're not talking "Oh, I'll just fill it up and drive on it"; this is a complete loss of function. You might even see tread start to separate. It's good practice to replace tires as soon as you see signs of dry rot, to prevent blowouts and the subsequent loss of vehicle control. Even if there are no signs of rot, the industry standard is to swap out tires before they hit 10 years old, and some tire companies recommend replacement as early as six years after manufacture.
