It depends on the job. An oil change or tire rotation is quick, while a full set of tires with an alignment, or brake and suspension work, takes longer. Problems that need diagnosis take time before we can give a repair estimate. Ask for a time estimate when you call, and we will base it on your vehicle and that day’s schedule.

Yes. We offer competitively priced tires for cars, light trucks, SUVs and commercial vehicles. If you are shopping for a lifted truck or an off-road setup, ask us about tire and wheel packages.

Your tire size is printed on the sidewall of the tire, in a format like P225/60R17. You can also find it on the placard inside the driver’s door jamb and in your owner’s manual.

Find your tires on our tires page and request a quote online, or call (321) 676-0023. We will help you compare options that fit your vehicle, your driving and your budget.

Look for tread worn down to 2/32 of an inch (in the penny test, you can see all of Lincoln’s head), cracks in the sidewall, bulges, or a new vibration while driving. Age matters too. Florida heat and sun age rubber faster, and many automakers and tire makers advise having tires inspected every year once they are about five years old and replaced by ten years, even if the tread still looks good.

Not always, but tires should be replaced at least in pairs. Many all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles need all four tires to have closely matched tread depth, so check your owner’s manual. Bring your vehicle in and we will measure the tread and tell you what makes sense.

Often, yes. A puncture in the tread area can usually be repaired if the damage is small and the tire has not been driven on while flat. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder generally cannot be repaired safely. We inspect the tire inside and out before recommending a repair or a replacement.

Most drivers should rotate tires about every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or as your owner’s manual directs. Rotation keeps wear even and helps tires last longer. Balancing is done when new tires are mounted, and again if you feel vibration at highway speed.

A steady light means one or more tires is low on air. Check pressure with a gauge when the tires are cold and use the number on the driver’s door placard, not the number on the tire sidewall. If the light blinks for a minute and then stays on, the monitoring system may need service. We offer TPMS service.

It covers tire failure due to a puncture, bruise or break during normal driving on maintained roads, and it is honored at over 50,000 locations nationwide.

Yes. A new tire purchase includes 24-hour roadside assistance for 12,000 miles or 12 months. It covers towing, lockout, flat tire repair, emergency fuel delivery and jump starts with a single call. Coverage is also backed by a $299 guarantee if your covered vehicle is disabled and you have to travel more than 25 miles to a repair facility. Ask us for full terms.

See the full list on our auto repair services page.

Yes. We have ASE-certified technicians on staff who are trained to diagnose and service automotive problems accurately the first time.

Yes. We service diesel engines, four wheel drive systems and differentials, and we install lift kits. Call us with your vehicle’s year, make and model, and we will tell you how we can help.

Follow your owner’s manual and your vehicle’s oil life monitor. Many modern vehicles that use synthetic oil can go 5,000 to 10,000 miles between changes, while towing, short trips and stop-and-go traffic call for shorter intervals.

Squealing or grinding when you brake, a soft or spongy pedal, vibration in the pedal or steering wheel, the vehicle pulling to one side, or a brake warning light. Do not wait on any of these. Brake problems get more expensive and more dangerous the longer they go.

Common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failing compressor or clutch, an electrical fault, or a blocked condenser. Because the cause determines the fix, we diagnose the system first. Learn more about our A/C repair on our services page.

A steady light means the vehicle should be scanned soon. A flashing light usually signals an engine misfire that can damage the catalytic converter, so reduce your speed and get the vehicle checked right away. A loose gas cap can also trigger the light, so tighten it first. We offer engine repair and diagnostics.

Signs include the vehicle pulling to one side, a steering wheel that sits off-center, and uneven or rapid tire wear. An alignment check is also smart after hitting a pothole or curb, after installing new tires, and after a lift kit.

Call (321) 676-0023 during business hours, tell us your vehicle and tire size, and we will let you know what we can do. Visitors and drivers in rental cars have stopped in with flats and blowouts. If you are in a rental, check your rental agreement or call the rental company, since they may need to authorize repairs.

Wheels, lift kits and custom work

We carry Fuel, XD, Black Rhino, TSW and Niche wheels.

We offer wheel straightening for bent wheels, and we can inspect wheels that are losing air.

Yes. Powder coating is a dry finish that cures under heat and bonds to the wheel as a protective skin. It resists chips, scratches, fading and corrosion, comes in a wide range of colors and gloss levels, and does not release the VOCs of traditional wet paint.

We install suspension lift kits, leveling kits and body lift kits from brands including BDS, Rough Country, Fabtech and ReadyLift. We will talk through your goals, whether that is clearance, a bigger tire or a different look, and help you choose the right kit.

Lifting a vehicle changes its suspension geometry, so an alignment is a normal part of the job. Many customers pair a lift with larger tires and new wheels, and we can quote the whole package together.

Payments, financing and savings

Yes. We offer two options. Snap Finance is a consumer lease that spreads your purchase over 12 months of payments. The Synchrony Car Care Credit Card gives you a revolving line of credit for your auto needs. Approval and terms are set by the lenders. See our financing page for details.

Manufacturer rebates and special offers change throughout the year. Check our rebates page and current offers for what is available now, or call (321) 676-0023 and ask.
