Nitrogen In Your Tires Extending Tire Life

Where the rubber meets the road


For our customers, our family and our friends. Your safety and your families safety is always our first and foremost priority. Auto repairs can be inconvenient and costly and not always the top of your list of Have to’s - The safety portion well yes, they fall into the inconvenient and costly category, but it is absolutely our priority. Your well being is riding on it.


Yes, there is maintenance upkeep and investments in the long term care of your car, but the safety stuff, there’s no price that should be put on that. So, as an absolute must, top of the list, no fooling around here are the basics:


Tires And Brakes

Absolutely the top two, We can’t even say one is more important than the other. Because if you have good tires and the brakes are shot.. Whamo! Bad news, and if your brakes are in excellent condition and your tires are bald.. Bad, just bad!


Tire tread should be at 4/32" or better and yes, you can rotate to extend their life and make them preform at their best. However - Bald = No Bueno! We hope that you get where we are coming from. Here’s a little statistical link if you want some additional reassurance..


Here’s an inside look

Nitrogen Filled Tires

Nitrogen in your tires. Yes air is important to keep the inflation levels to their specific needs If you are ever in question regarding your tire size or inflation level - a little trick. On the inside of your drivers side door, there’s a sticker that looks something like this..

Tire Sticker

Here is the place you get your info. It’s even easier than looking in the glove box for the manual.. (we know, there they go again with the “manual” blah,, blah, blah stuff.) We know you really don’t want to play the scavenger hunt game with us now that you are cozy on your couch and going to your car requires shoes, a jacket maybe…


We get it. But, Before we stop beating that horse, we will make it easier on you, most manufacturers have downloadable manuals. This means that you can store it directly on your phone, you don’t even need to look in the glove box, and you’ll always have it with you. No moving required for this part either. Here’s a little tidbit of info that just requires you hitting the play button on the video.


WE HAVE GOT YOU FRIEND!!!

We will  even recap so you don’t even need a pen to write this down.

When your vehicle is properly aligned, driving feels smooth, steering is effortless, and your tires wear evenly. But when something’s off—literally—your vehicle will start to give you hints. Alignment issues might seem minor at first, but ignoring them can lead to bigger problems, like accelerated tire wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and even unsafe driving conditions. At Automotive Magic, we believe in catching small problems before they become big ones. Here are the key signs that your alignment may need professional attention:
