Laconia - New Car Dealership

[8gv]

Third Belknap Tire.

I haven’t tried others but after my first through 20th? visits there I find no reason to go elsewhere.

I believe the "alignment picture machine" might be getting confused with a certain model of a Hunter alignment machine, which uses 4 cameras and flashes a bank of LED's to look at the position of the wheel sensors...but that's the thing, the vehicle would have to go up on the rack in order to get those measurements.

The 4 wheel sensors are mounted, the correct M/M/Y of the vehicle is selected and then the tech takes the measurements as the alignment machine steps through the process. Typically a 5 minute task, all things considered.

My experience has been the opposite. A national tire dealer tried to sell unnecessary repairs and tires at a price higher than provided by the car dealer from whom I purchased the car. I think the point is you need to know who you are dealing with and whether they have a history of honesty and fair prices. My car dealer seems to value the relationship and the prospect of future car sales to me and perhaps honesty itself.

That's why I tell people to go to Town Fair. They don't do car repairs so the won't try to sell you anything that's not related to tires or alignment.
Most of the big tire merchants do repairs so they will try to sell you something else.
As for tire sensors, they may not rust but they are aluminum and they do corrode and break.
