When Should You Change Your Tires?
If you happen to be wondering when you should change the tires of your RAV4 or Tacoma, our team is happy to clue you in! Once you’ve skimmed through the information and believe you may need new components, contact us at Capital Toyota for additional details, or visit us during our sales hours. We hope you’ll stop by soon.
Timeframe for New Tires
The great thing about tires is that when you buy a vehicle from our dealership, they are going to last you for several years. However, after some time, their tread and life does tend to decrease. It is typically suggested by the manufacturer to have brand-new ones installed after about six years. Luckily, you can do a penny test yourself to see the state that yours are currently in. Simply take a coin and put it head up into the tread, and if you’re able to see Lincoln’s face, you might want to stop by our service bay. Driving in harsh conditions, such as rain, snow, and ice decreases the tire pressure and tends to wear them down. This causes the rubber to crack and also dry out. If you put off getting a new set or having them rotated once it’s time, you’re not only decreasing the performance of your vehicle, but also adding danger to your own safety on the road. Visit us today!

Just select the corresponding link below the Service tab and then you’ll be able to search different brands and sizes. In this same spot, you can also read up on other services related to tires, such as rotations and wheel alignments.

You’ll also be happy to hear that if you purchase components from us you are going to have 100 percent road hazard coverage for replacements within the first 24 months1. We’ll even price match your tires1 if you find the same ones at a different location.

Underneath the Service tab, you are going to find a link that you can click that corresponds. Then, you can browse the discounts we’re offering at this time. You’ll see options such as saving if you purchase a tire bundle, or a dollar amount off on a fourth component if you buy three. As you keep scrolling down the screen, you’ll find additional specials on other services. Plus, while you’re here, you can enjoy our free Wi-Fi and coffee bar as we perform what needs to be done.

Nicolas and colleagues were great to work with.
“ Every one polite and service was great ”
“ Excellent experience from the check in to the maintenance. Always enjoy coming to Capital Toyota ”
“ I made an appointment online for my 15,000 mile service. When I arrived at Capital Toyota, my truck was taken into the service bay right on time. My service was done quickly and the Service Department had me on my way within 40 minutes. I found the Service personnel to be friendly and professional. I wish the Service Department in my home state was as efficient. ”

“ We had a great experience at Capital! Patrick was friendly and thorough and put us at ease. He gave us a fair offer for both our trade and our new truck. The finance rep went through all of the details and was easy to work with. Recommend! ”
I purchased a car from this dealership last week.
“ I purchased a car from this dealership last week. Doyala and Mallory reached out immediately when I initiated the online inquiry. They were both pleasant and helpful. I was connected to Nick and he was able to accommodate my hectic schedule, met me on a Saturday so I could see the car. He was very patient with me as I inspected the car and answer all of my questions. He was not a pushy or sleazy salesman, very friendly, laid back, knowledgeable and fair. Chandler handled the financing process and he was very accommodating and exceeded my expectations. The store manager, Curry, is also impressive. You can tell he is running an ethical dealership. The whole process from start to finish was positive. If you are looking for a solid place to purchase a car, be treated fairly, please shop here. ”

“ Ethan and Chris were amazing. Great service! ”
“ I started a search for a vehicle for my son and was expecting to drive hundreds of miles for the best deal. Little did I know Capital of Toyota here through the most honest salesman I've ever met Jim Strickland would be where I'd end up saving me time and a long drive. Jim was straight to the point and had the patience of man watching his wife try on shoes when I had about 10 pages of questions for him via text and over the phone. The time in the dealership was quick also and they offered me a drink and showed me around. Overall, this was a great experience. One that makes me want to buy another Toyota even though I was once more into other brands. So if you're looking for a deal, ask for Jim, he's the best they've got because I've been buying cars for 20 years and I can just tell he's top tier. This review was not part of any arrangement and I'm doing it on my own accord...or should I say own Camry. Thanks for the pleasurable experience. Typically buying experiences rank right below root canals, but not this one. It was great. If anything changes, I'll update it but right now I'm pretty happy. ”
Great experience with Jim Strickland.
“ Great experience with Jim Strickland. He was very patient during my many many questions and my last minute change from one vehicle to another. He had the best price anywhere near the area and that was great to not have to travel hundreds of miles for the deal. He's honest and courteous and I wish all car buying experiences were like this one. Makes me want to go back and get another car but my bank account needs a rest. If nothing else, I'll tell everyone I can about how great the experience was at Capital Toyota in Chattanooga. ”
Luke helped me buy my new Camry!

I can’t thank Jonathan Allers enough for all of his help.
“ I can’t thank Jonathan Allers enough for all of his help. Buying a car can be stressful, but he made the entire process so much easier. He took the time to listen to what I wanted, helped me figure out exactly what features were most important to me, and found the perfect car that checked all of my boxes.I drove away in a car I absolutely love, with a payment I’m comfortable with, and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about their customers and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Jonathan! It also would not have been possible without Chandler Capehart and Curry Stone! Thank you all again! ”
