Traveling Tire Service · North NJ

Questions,
Honestly
Answered.

Have questions? We probably have answers.

01Does Traveling Tire Service actually come to my house?

Yes. That's the entire business. That's the whole thing.

02Does Traveling Tire Service sell tires?

Yes — we offer more brands than we have time to name here. We know the internet has a short attention span.

03Does Traveling Tire Service do brakes?

There is nothing I'd like to do less than your brakes. Why is that good news for you? It means we'll look at your brakes and rotors and give you our opinion on what needs to be serviced. We will never scare you with, "This car isn't safe. You'll probably be driving one day, go to hit your brakes, but there won't be any." Now you're speeding at a school bus full of kids. You swerve, but there's a puppy adoption event right there, so you have to go for option 3, which is a 100ft cliff. You choose the cliff and land in a fireball at the bottom. We will never do that to you.

04What if I'm not home?

You don't have to supervise. We've done this before.

05Are you a roadside service? I have a flat.

No. We're a scheduled installation service, not roadside assistance. Fortunately, or unfortunately for you, my face won't be showing up as your savior. If you've got a flat right now, call a roadside provider.

06How long does it take?

About 30 minutes per tire — up to 2 hours for a full set. That's 2 hours to sit in your house or get work done. Or waste it, your call. Either way, you won't be stuck in a tire shop drinking stale coffee.

07Can I buy my own tires and have you install them?

Sure. But installation will be a little more. Either way, we won't be mad like a steakhouse if you brought your own steak.

08What do you do with my old tires?

We will nurse them back to health in a nice tire sanctuary until they are strong enough to be released back into the world. No, they will be taken to a tire recycler, like every other tire that doesn't end up over an embankment in the woods.

09Does Traveling Tire Service need to plug into my house?

We don't have to. It's up to you — would you rather hear our generator, or have us use a little of your electricity?

10Can you work on a gravel driveway? On a slope?

Gravel, fine. A hill like a ski slope — no. Although it would make getting rid of your old tires easier.

11What if it rains?

Some rain is fine — we're not made of sugar. A monsoon might sweep us away, though. We can reschedule at no charge.

12Does Traveling Tire Service handle TPMS sensors?

Yes. The little light will go off. That's the goal.

13Is this more expensive than a shop?

Slightly. You're paying for the driveway part. Decide what your afternoon is worth.

14Does Traveling Tire Service come with tire machines?

No, we actually pull them off with our bare hands — sometimes our teeth, if it's a difficult one. Just kidding. Yeah, we have a fully functional mobile tire shop trailer.
