TG Automotive has been so incredibly helpful in my recent tire purchase adventure. They answered all my questions as I tried to select the appropriate tires for my vehicle, and even offered that the tires I needed to order through Tire Rack be delivered straight to the shop for mounting and balancing. They were patient and kind as I dealt with chaos in the background while on the phone with them (kids, puppy, that’s sort of thing) and they kept me on track with all the right questions to get me the best tires for my needs. I’m really pleased by the attention to detail they’ve offered and the service is absolutely unmatched! Thanks so much TG Automotive for the excellent customer service and your hard work! - Kristina D. (recommended on Facebook)

If you drive a Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Subaru, Land Rover, or other luxury or performance vehicle, you’re no stranger to the bells and whistles of the modern automobile.

Fleet cars, vans, and trucks see a lot of wear and tear. If your engine has already called it a day, then it’s obviously case closed - you need a new engine or a new vehicle. However, there are many times when an engine is about to go down, and you can get it taken care of before it kicks the bucket for good - saving you time and towing in the process.
