BOUND BROOK, N.J. (April 3, 2015) — STS Tire & Auto Centers will offer complimentary 28-point tire and vehicle inspections at its locations in April in support of National Car Care Month.
The inspections — which include visually checking tires, brakes, headlights, fluid levels, air filter, battery, belts, hoses and more — will be offered through all of STS Tire's 150-plus locations in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, the company said.
“Extremely severe winter weather conditions and unrelenting snow gripped the northeast, where all of our full-service car care centers are located,” said STS President Bill Caulin. “We encourage our customers and neighbors to visit and have their cars inspected by our highly skilled technicians now that spring is finally here, before getting back out on the road.
“Our managers have reported a significant increase in steering, suspension and tire and wheel damage,” he continued. “Dangerous potholes could possibly dislodge wheel weights, causing high-speed wheel shimmy or out-of-alignment conditions. These critical systems must be checked. Routine maintenance — especially after such treacherous weather — is truly the key to helping prevent expensive unanticipated repairs.”
