On-rim swaps or full demount-and-remount changeovers, computer balanced, TPMS checked, and every wheel torqued to spec. If your winters are on their own rims, you're in and out quickly. If they need mounting each season, we handle that too — and we'll tell you honestly when a second set of rims would pay for itself.
While the wheels are off we give the exposed brakes and suspension a quick visual — the changeover is the easiest moment of the year to catch a rusted line, a torn boot, or pads getting thin before winter makes everything harder.
The rule of thumb is 7°C: once daytime temperatures sit consistently below it, all-season rubber hardens and grip drops sharply — usually late October to early November on the Avalon, back off around May. Booking a week or two before the first forecast snowfall beats sitting in the seasonal rush after it.
Every changeover includes a tread depth check on both sets, so you know in the fall — not mid-January — whether this is your winters' last season. Ask us about labelling and storage prep so your off-season set ages properly.
