It’s Retorque Time!

It has likely been a little while since you had your winter tires taken off in favour of all-season or all-weather. Before you go driving around much more, ensure that you take the time to have your wheels retorqued.

The lug nuts are a small but vital part of the wheel system and they keep your wheel securely attached to the hub of your vehicle. After having your tires replaced or removed, our tire technicians ensure that your wheel is tightened properly so you can be on your way.

However, with fluctuating temperature changes and a renewed set of tires handling the road, lug nuts or bolts can shift or become loose. Improperly tightened lug nuts can lead to damaged brakes, warped or broken wheel studs or even a dislodged wheel.

Retorquing your wheels is a simple, complimentary service that we provide.

Having your wheels retorqued is a simple and costless safety measure that you can do for your vehicle. Retorquing the lug nuts is an essential car maintenance task that can be done after driving 100 kilometres.

You won’t be spending much time at the shop for a retorque. It takes approximately 5 minutes to get out the lug nut wrench and give your wheels a check.

We send you home with a reminder to retorque at 100KM

We fix and sell quality tires and wheels and we want to ensure that they are being maintained appropriately so you can get the most life out of them and keep your family safe. Stop by anytime (no appointment necessary) and ask to have your wheels re-torqued.
