Atlantic Avenue Tire & Service

Specialties

Atlantic Avenue Tire and Service is a locally owned business that has served Raleigh for 24 years, thanks to our loyal customers. We are a full service shop offering most brands of tires and perform services and repairs on most types of vehicles. We employ ASE certified technicians to provide quality workmanship and only use the highest quality parts. Does your car have nice expensive wheels? No problem. We will «match-​mount» tires with «touchless» equipment, and «road force» balance all new tires for the smoothest ride. We are one of the only dealers to mount and balance tires using this procedure-​call us for details. We also employ one of the best alignment technicians in the area – we can align anything! We also tighten wheel lug nuts by hand with calibrated torque wrenches, not air impact guns, that can cause damage to wheels and brake components. We are a NAPA Autocare Center and offer a 12mo./12 000 mile nationwide warranty on repairs. We have an A+ rating with the BBB
