Same-Day Tire Mounting When Your Size Is in Stock

It starts with a phone call, not a drive. We need your tire size to check what is actually on the shelf, and we need to see how busy the bays are. If both line up, we quote the installed price in writing and give you a time to come in. Same-day is a goal we try to meet, not a guarantee.

What to do:

1. Find your size on the sidewall, such as 235/60R18 103H.
2. Call (909) 608-7699 or send a quote request with a sidewall photo.
3. Pick a tire from what is in stock and fits your load and speed needs.
4. Get the time window for your install.
5. Bring the wheel lock key if your car has one.

That size reads left to right: 235 is the section width in millimeters, 60 is the aspect ratio as a percent of that width, R means radial, and 18 is the rim diameter in inches. The 103H after it is the load index and speed rating, and both have to be matched.

Monday to Friday hours are 8 AM to 5 PM. For Saturday, call to confirm.

The biggest factor is stock. Common passenger and crossover sizes are more likely to be on hand than less common truck, performance or staggered sizes. After that, the bay schedule and the job itself set the pace. Knowing these ahead helps you plan.

Things that can push it to another day:

• Your size or preferred tire is not in stock
• A staggered set needs two different sizes
• Light-truck tires in a specific load range
• A TPMS sensor needs to be ordered
• Missing wheel lock key
• The bays are already full with scheduled work

When that happens, we tell you when the tires should arrive and book the install. If you are driving on a damaged tire, ask about a flat repair or putting on the spare in the meantime.

No. A same-day install follows the same steps as any other. Each tire is mounted and balanced with wheel weights applied in quarter-ounce steps, TPMS parts are serviced, lugs are torqued with a wrench set to your vehicle figure, and pressure is set from the placard in the driver's doorjamb, not from the number on the sidewall, which is the tire's maximum cold pressure. Doing it today only changes the timing, not the checklist.

If we see a problem while the wheels are off, such as worn brake pads or a torn boot, we show you before anything is added. You can approve it, schedule it, or skip it. The full install checklist is on our tire installation page.

Many same-day tire installs are wait-friendly. If you add an alignment, a sensor replacement or other work, dropping the car off may make more sense. Tell us your plan when you call and we give you a realistic window. If the window slips, we let you know.

Adding an alignment at the same visit protects the new tires. See alignment after new tires. If you are also picking up a rental, the U-Haul counter is on the same lot.

With the wheels already off, a few other checks are easy to add. That is the real value of a same-day tire visit: one trip instead of two. Anything beyond the tires is quoted in writing first, and you can say no to any of it.

Tire pressure monitoring has been required on new passenger vehicles in the United States since the 2008 model year, and those sensors carry sealed batteries that commonly last about 5 to 10 years, so on an older car a dead one is replaced whole. Adding an alignment or sensor replacement makes the visit longer, so we tell you before you decide whether to wait or drop off. See alignment after new tires and brake service for what each check involves.

Drive gently, keep your speed down and use surface streets when you can. A compact spare carries its own printed speed limit, commonly 50 mph, and the owner manual sets the distance. A tire with a nail that is holding air can usually make a short trip, but a tire that is flat or flapping should not be driven at all.

Before you head over:

• Check the spare's pressure. Compact spares are often inflated to about 60 psi, and that number is printed right on the spare.
• Plan a route off the freeway if you can. Surface streets keep speeds lower.
• Leave the nail in a punctured tire. Pulling it can empty the tire before you arrive, and a repairable puncture is 1/4 inch (6 mm) or smaller and in the tread crown, never the shoulder or the sidewall.
• Listen for new noises such as thumping, grinding or flapping, and pull over if you hear them.
• Never drive on a bare rim. It can ruin the wheel and damage brake and suspension parts.
• Call ahead at (909) 608-7699 so we know you are arriving on a spare.

If the car cannot be driven, arrange a tow and tell us when it should arrive so the install can be planned around it. Our spare tire guide covers compact spare limits in detail.
