Winter Window Tinting at Laker Tire

12/6/2016

0 Comments

 
There's a misunderstood myth that warns car owners not to have their windows tinted in the winter time. The belief is that the cold air temperatures won't allow the tint to properly adhere, and over time, the tint will come undone and your money will be wasted.

Don't fall for this myth. Our window tinting is done indoors in a climate-controlled atmosphere. Under the right conditions and with proper care, there are no more risks in the winter time than in the summer, so don't wait if you'd like your windows tinted. Take care of the winter glare today and give us a call! Our window tinter is the best in the business and worth every penny!

Trust Laker Tire with Your Classic and Vintage Cars

12/6/2016

You can trust Laker Tire & Service with your classic or vintage car. All of our service is performed and verified by an ASE Certified Master Technician. Don't trust your vintage vehicle to anyone but the best! This week, we had the pleasure of working on this beauty, a 1967 Pontiac Firebird. 

This classic car has been well taken care of by its owner, but it was time for a laundry list of services and upgrades.  We are in the process of repairing leaks and rebuilding the motor, as well as replacing bearings, seals and rings. Also, we converted the front drum brakes to power disc brakes while replacing brake lines, shocks, front coil springs, repairing the exhaust manifold, restoring the intakes, and rebuilding the carburetor. We'll also replace the tires and wheels.  

This Firebird will roll out of here feeling and looking brand new!  If you have a classic or vintage car that you'd like the best in the business to take a look at, give us a call or stop in today to see what we can do for you!

Don't pay twice for the same repair. Bring your vehicle to Laker Tire the first time for honest, high-quality service every time.

2015 Chevy Sonic Tow Setup

8/12/2015

0 Comments

 
Every once in awhile in this business, a job comes across that is unique and truly fun for our technicians to tackle.  We were lucky enough this past week to take on a tow setup for a 2015 Chevy Sonic.  Using a Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain towbar and InvisiBrake System, Terry pulled off a seamless installation that was fun to do and fun to show off what we're capable of at Laker Tire & Service.  So if you have a job you're not sure about tackling yourself, and you only want the best in the business taking on, give us a call at Laker Tire!
