Wheel Alignment Service

Camber is the measure of the degree of perpendicular offset from the road surface. Caster is the angle of your wheel’s pivot, which is attached to the suspension, and when this angle is out of alignment, straight-line tracking is affected.

Tire Service Center

Although tires are easily maintained, they are often overlooked. Tire service is vital for getting the most out of your tires by maximizing mileage and tread wear. Our ASE-certified technicians will help you understand the basics of tire care and maintenance, like when you should seek a tire rotation, balance, and alignment.

Tire Rotation Service

Our tire rotation service involves changing the position of your vehicle’s tires in order to reduce massive tread differentiation between them. Tires tend to exhibit differing amounts of tread wear, because each tire does not deal with exactly the same types or amounts of stress as its companions. Rotating the tires is an effective way to deal with uneven tread wear.

Wheel Balancing Service

Computerized wheel balancers are highly accurate machines that identify the weight distribution problem areas within an assembly. Ideally, a tire and its wheel should complement one another, with both maintaining an equal amount of weight throughout the assembly. At Ramona Tire, we used computerized wheel balancers at all of our locations.

There are many hazards that can make tires less effective and a danger to drivers and passengers. It is not uncommon for a sharp objects and road debris to puncture a tire. Because flat tires are dangerous to use, it is advised that motorists only drive on them in extreme circumstances, such as when they need to reach safety from a busy highway.

Cooling System Service

In your vehicle, fuel is converted into heat energy, which means the internal temperatures in your engine compartment can increase dramatically in a short period of time. If your engine overheats, it can cause major damage to various components and cost you a significant amount of time and money to fix.

Radiator Repair

The radiator on your car helps keep your engine cool. An overheated engine will lead to a breakdown, so radiator maintenance is very important to the overall functionality of your vehicle. The radiator sits at the front of the engine bay and is constructed with slim, hollow channels that run from the inlet tank to the outlet tank.

Car Water Pump Repair

When your car is running, the engine gets hot. Between combustion and all those moving components, there’s a lot of heat being generated – so the cooling system was put into place to dissipate (remove) that heat from the system.
