WHICH SERVICE DO YOU NEED?
White's Tire Service Employs
ASE Certified Technicians
ASE certification, also known as Automotive Service Excellence, is the certification granted to an automotive technician who has completed the required training and obtained their Automotive Service Excellence Certified Master Technicians requirements.
OIL CHANGE
While the old rule of thumb was to change your oil every 3,000 miles or so, modern automotive technology has stretched that figure even further. Due to better engineering and better oil formulations, now you can expect between 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes!
CAR CHECKS
When the check engine light comes on, the computer stores a “trouble code” that gives information as to the source of the problem. This is not an explicit diagnostic but rather an indicator of where to start looking. This logged trouble code can be accessed with a specialized reader connected to your car’s on-board diagnostics (OBD) port.
TIRE CHANGE
Find a large selection of tires, tire ratings, tire sizes, tire alignments and more. Ask questions to make sure the tire selected matches your driving habits and needs.
BRAKE CHECKS
During a brake inspection the entire brake system is checked; this includes the following: the brake pedal, brake fluid, brake lines and hoses, and the brake assemblies (whether they are disc brakes or drum brakes). Parking brakes should also be checked at this time.
BATTERY CHANGE
In cooler northern climates, a battery may last five years or longer, but in hot southern locales around three years is more typical.

How long does a wheel alignment take?Under normal circumstances, a wheel alignment will take an average of one hour, whether it's a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle. If there's too much wear and tear or damage on the suspension system, steering bushing, track rod, or other parts, it'll take a longer time as some components have to be replaced.

How important is the technology of Wheel Alignment?Hunter Engineering's simple, solution links a vehicle's OBD-II system to the aligner to measure steering angle sensors positioning and reset the sensor referenced to a vehicle's alignment geometry. No other steering angle sensor reset tool matches CodeLink's patented integration with the alignment procedure.

Should you get an alignment or new tires first?It doesn't matter whether you get your alignment before or after having your new tires put on. Most experts agree that the only effect worn tires have on your alignment is a change to the vehicle's ride height which, given today's steering and suspension design, should be negligible.
-
How often should I get a tire alignment?Most mechanics recommend that you get a wheel alignment once every two or three years. However, the best thing to do is to follow the recommended interval in your owner's manual.

How often should I change engine oil?It used to be normal to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but with modern lubricants most engines today have recommended oil change intervals of 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Moreover, if your car's engine requires full-synthetic motor oil, it might go as far as 15,000 miles between services!

How long does a brake job take?Under normal circumstances, a wheel alignment will take an average of one hour, whether it's a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle. If there's too much wear and tear or damage on the suspension system, steering bushing, track rod, or other parts, it'll take a longer time as some components have to be replaced.
