Tire Repair
If your tire has a puncture or a small cut, our trained technicians can often repair it using a patch or plug. We will inspect your tire carefully to determine if it can be safely repaired with a more cost-effective approach. However, keep in mind that not all tire damage can be repaired.
Tire Installation
It's very important to perform regular tire maintenance, not just for the safety of your family but also to ensure a long lifespan for your vehicle. You are advised to always consult your owner's manual to find the proper tire size for the year, make, and model of your vehicle. When you purchase new tires, they have to be in complete sets or at least in matching groups of 2 on each axle. This extends the life of your new tires and keeps your tire wear even.
If you need help with your tire purchase, come to us! We can help you compare tire specifications and prices before buying to ensure you get the best new tires for your needs and budget.
Tire Balancing
Tire Balancing is important to increase the basic safety of your vehicle and extend the life of your tires. The technicians at our auto repair shop are here to help with all of your tire balancing and tire service needs.
Tire balancing happens each time you replace your vehicle's tires. Our technicians can assist in determining if your tires need to be balanced based on mileage and wear.
Tire Rotation
Your vehicle's weight is not distributed evenly to all four corners. If you leave all 4 tires just the way they are, some tires will eventually wear out faster than others. We know that a tire rotation is an essential part of making your tires last longer. The tire rotation process consists of moving your tires from front to back, moving them from one side of your vehicle to the other, or a combination of both.
Uneven tire wear could bring about unsatisfactory gas efficiency and poor performance, reduce the life of the new tire, and easily cause safety problems. Regular tire rotation helps eliminate premature tire wear and could save you a lot of money on new tires.
Tire Inspection
Tires need to be checked regularly for damage, such as stones, nails, or other sharp objects that may have penetrated them. They also need to be checked for bulges, tears, or cuts that might be the result of contact with road hazards. If you have doubts about the condition of your tires, it's best to have them inspected by our technicians.

Can I get a flat tire fixed the same day?
In many cases we can take care of a flat quickly, and we'll always do our best to get you back on the road as soon as possible. A flat is stressful, so we treat it with urgency, though timing can depend on the damage and how busy the shop is that day. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so reach out to LH Automotive LLC as soon as you have a flat and we'll let you know how quickly we can help.
When is a tire too damaged to repair and needs replacing?
A tire usually can't be safely repaired when the damage is on the sidewall, when a puncture is larger than about a quarter inch, or when there are multiple punctures close together. Repairs are generally limited to the tread area, since the sidewall flexes too much to hold a patch reliably. Bring your tire to LH Automotive LLC in Northwood and we'll inspect it honestly and tell you whether a repair is safe or a replacement is the smarter call.
Is it safe to drive on a spare or a plugged tire?
A spare or a plugged tire is meant to be a temporary fix, not a long-term solution, so it's best to have it properly addressed soon. Compact "donut" spares are limited in speed and distance, and a plug should be verified by a technician to make sure the tire is truly road-safe. The expert team at LH Automotive LLC can check your spare or repair and get you back on a proper tire before it becomes a risk.
