Does Bayside Chevrolet carry quality, major brand tires?

Yes, we carry most major brands of tires, including Goodyear, Bridgestone, Continental, General Tire, BF Goodrich, Dunlop, Hankook, Uniroyal Michelin, Pirelli, and Firestone.  We intentionally do not carry poor quality, no-name brands that some tire stores use as price leaders.

Why don't you carry some of the tire brands that are advertised at prices that seem too good to be true?

Experience has shown that some of these tires are inferior in ride quality and longevity.  Ultimately, consumers who purchase these tires are disappointed.  We do offer tires at "good-better-best" pricing to fit any budget.

Does Bayside Chevrolet offer rebates from major tire manufacturers that I have seen advertised on TV?

Yes, in fact, Bayside Chevrolet promotes these rebate offers when they are available.  Many of these rebates and special offers will be found on signage in our waiting areas and on our "Specials" pages on our website, www.baysidechevyonline.com.   All of our tire prices are offered to our customers at cost plus $10.00.

Is there a separate charge for mounting and balancing?

The charge for mounting and balancing is $15.00 per tire ($25 for run-flat tires).  Beware of some competitors who claim that mounting is free, only to charge $15 or more to balance your tires.  We balance every tire we mount, it is included with mounting. Beware of those "on the rim and out the door" guys.  They will have you "out the door" with additional charges added onto your bill. Bayside Chevrolet uses a High Definition Road Force and Lateral Force Balancer (the only one in the area).

Does Bayside Chevrolet have any additional hidden charges?

No, there are no hidden charges.  Our tire price includes disposal of your old tires and wheel weights plus we do not charge for shop fees or EPA fees.  It is common practice for most major tire chains to charge for these items. 

How do I find out if you have the correct tires for my vehicle in stock and get a price quote?

Call us at 410-535-1500. One of our representatives can match the perfect tire for your specific vehicle and offer you several options at different price points.  Utilizing our Tire Finder link  is another easy way to check on availability of tires and your cost.

What if you don't have the tire I want in stock?  Can you get it for me?

Bayside Chevrolet can usually get you the tire you need or want within 24 hours.  If we don't have it in stock, we'll get it for you.

Is it easy to see when my tire pressure is low?

Tire pressure is very difficult to judge by sight alone. Tires can be well under 50% inflated before it's noticeable to the eye. This is why it's so important to check your tire pressure monthly with an accurate tire gauge.  Come into Bayside Chevrolet service anytime we're open and we'll check your tire pressure for you at no cost.

What is TPMS?

TPMS, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, is an electronic system that alerts you with a dashboard indicator light when your car's tire pressure falls to the point of needing inflation.

What should I do if my tire pressure warning light is illuminated on my dashboard?

The light signals that one or more of your tires may have lost pressure.  This may include the spare tire as well.  Our technicians can quickly inspect and diagnose the cause for the low pressure and reset the dashboard indicator light.

Why did my tires wear so quickly? 

Premature tire wear may be caused by many factors other than tire rotation. Some examples are as follows: improper inflation, driving conditions, misaligned vehicles, worn vehicle parts, and many other reasons.

Without physically inspecting the tires it is difficult to make a determination as to why your tires wore prematurely.  To help with your tire inspection come in and get a complimentary instant 4-wheel alignment check in 60 seconds with our Winalign Machine.  Receive a color printout of your results while you wait.  No appointment necessary.  It could be the best invested 60 seconds you have ever made.
