Keeping up on regular vehicle maintenance not only provides you with peace of mind but it can also lengthen the life of your vehicle and its parts. Tire rotation is an important part of vehicle maintenance as it helps to increase the life of your tires as well as ensure that your tires are properly aligned, saving you fuel and saving you from unnecessary wear.

Tire rotation is an essential element of vehicle maintenance because the weight of a vehicle is not evenly distributed, resulting in uneven wear. It is important to get your tires rotated about every 10,000 kilometers to help even out tread wear and lengthen the life of your tires. At Fountain Tire Quesnel, our technicians are able to determine if and when your tires should be rotated as well as check or irregular wear, misalignment or other related problems before each tire rotation.

We are happy to offer tire rotation services for all makes and models of vehicle. Tire rotation services are free if the set of tires have been purchased at one of our locations, or when you purchase the full service oil change package. Take all your tire needs to Fountain Tire in Quesnel and ask for store manager Robert Green. We are committed to helping you with everything you need!

In order for an engine to run smoothly, your fuel injection system must be in good shape. Fountain Tire Quesnel is happy to offer Fuel System Services, where our dedicated team of technicians works to ensure your vehicle is running the way it was designed to.

As it moves fuel from the tank to the engine, the fuel injection system allows your vehicle’s fuel to combust and create energy to power the engine. Over time your vehicle may begin to perform inadequately due to a collection of deposits in the fuel system. Some symptoms to watch for include:

• Difficulty starting your vehicle
• A lack of power when you accelerate
• Poor fuel mileage
• Chugging/sputtering while you are driving or idling

Through its Fuel System Services, Fountain Tire Quesnel offers inclusive maintenance for your vehicle’s fuel injection system.
