The work, up close
Orders heading out across the continental United States, sets fitted in the Sunrise bay, and vans working driveways around Broward. Plus the videos and tips we end up repeating every week.
Orders out, tires on
Captions describe the order or the job each tile stands for. Photography is being collected now — these are illustrations until it lands.
Order out the door — 4x Continental, shipped to Georgia
Picked from the distributor closest to the customer, boxed and on its way without passing through a warehouse of ours.
Ship to store — set checked in at the Sunrise counter
Size, load index and speed rating read off every sidewall and matched to the order before anyone books the install.
Install bay — full set fitted after a ship-to-store order
Mounted, balanced, new valve service and every lug torqued to spec.
Mobile install — driveway call, Plantation
Mat down, jack set, tire machine and balancer running off the van. The car never moved.
Wheel and tire package — staggered fitment, shipped
Offset and clearance confirmed with the customer first, then mounted and balanced as a package before it shipped.
Alignment rack — Sunrise shop
Post-install alignment with a before-and-after printout for the customer.
Fleet order — six work vans, Tamarac yard
Ordered online, shipped to the shop, fitted on site. Tread depths recorded per vehicle, one invoice.
Packaging check — freight damage caught at the counter
A scuffed box gets opened and inspected before it is handed over. If the tire is wrong, it goes back, not on your car.
Office-park flat repair — sedan, Fort Lauderdale
Screw through the tread. Dismounted, patch-plugged from the inside and rebalanced.
TPMS sensor replacement — SUV, Lauderhill
Dead sensor battery after eight years. Replaced in a work parking lot, light out.
Fitment call — sizes read off a door placard over the phone
Half the job is making sure the right tire gets ordered in the first place. That part happens before anything ships.
Brake service — front rotors and pads, Sunrise shop
Bay work, priced before the parts came out of the box.

Pressure
The monthly five-minute tire check

Tread
Penny test, quarter test and wear bars
