Lonsbury Garage

Tires are your vehicle’s only contact with the road—so when you have a flat, vibration, or worn tread, it’s more than an inconvenience. At Lonsbury Garage in Angola, IN, we provide professional tire repair and replacement services including puncture inspections, mounting and balancing, and TPMS diagnosis. We’ll help you choose the right tire for your driving needs and make sure it wears evenly with proper inflation and chassis checks.

Common Tire Problems We Diagnose

If you notice any of these issues, schedule tire service:

• Flat tire or rapid loss of air
• Slow leak (pressure dropping over days)
• Tire pressure light (TPMS) on
• Vibration at speed (balance, tire condition, or wheel issue)
• Uneven tire wear (inside edge, outside edge, cupping, feathering)
• Cracks, dry rot, or bulges in sidewall or tread
• Low tread depth reducing traction, especially in rain/snow
• Noise that changes with speed (tire pattern wear or tire damage)

Flat Tire Repair (Puncture Inspection Done Safely)

Not every puncture can be safely repaired. Our process focuses on safety and long-term reliability. Tire repair service may include:

• Locate the leak (nail/screw, bead leak, valve stem, wheel sealing surface)
• Internal inspection to check for hidden damage
• Repair recommendation based on puncture location and tire condition
• Re-inflate and verify pressure and sealing
• Balance check if needed to prevent vibration

New Tire Replacement: The Right Tire for Your Vehicle

If replacement is the safer option, we’ll help you choose tires that match your vehicle and driving style. We consider size, load rating, speed rating, seasonal needs, and ride comfort—so you get the best value and performance. New tire service may include:

• Tire selection guidance based on your needs (daily driving, highway, towing, winter traction)
• Mounting using proper procedures for modern wheels
• Computer balancing to reduce vibration and improve ride quality
• TPMS service and sensor evaluation (as equipped)
• Torque wheels to specification for safety and proper clamping

TPMS Light Diagnosis & Sensor Service

A TPMS light can indicate low pressure, a slow leak, or a sensor/battery issue. We can check pressures, inspect for punctures, and diagnose sensor concerns so you’re not guessing—especially during colder weather when pressure drops are common.

Protect Your Tires: Wear Pattern Checks (Alignment & Suspension Clues)

If we see uneven wear, we’ll let you know what it suggests—because new tires won’t last if the underlying cause isn’t corrected. Uneven wear can point to alignment, suspension wear, or inflation issues. We can recommend the next steps to help your tires last longer.

Tire Service FAQs

Can you patch a tire that has a nail in it?

Often, yes—if the puncture is in the tread area and the tire has no internal damage. We inspect the tire from the inside to confirm the location and condition before recommending a repair.

Can a sidewall puncture be repaired?

In most cases, sidewall and shoulder area damage is not safely repairable. We’ll inspect the tire and explain the safest replacement option if needed.

Why does my car shake after getting tires?

Vibration may be caused by balance, wheel issues, tire defects, or worn suspension components. We can diagnose the cause and correct it so the ride is smooth.
