Tire FAQs
You should replace your tires when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch or less, or if you notice visible signs of damage such as cracks, bulges, or uneven wear. A quick way to check tread depth is the penny test — insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down; if you can see the top of his head, it’s time for new tires. You may also notice other warning signs, like increased road noise, vibration, or poor traction in wet conditions. If you’re unsure, the certified technicians at Mike’s Auto Service in Newington, CT can inspect your tires and let you know if replacements are needed.
If only one tire is damaged and the others have plenty of tread, you may be able to replace just that one. However, for all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicles or tires with significant wear differences, it’s best to replace two or four tires at once to ensure balanced handling and safety.
You can find your vehicle’s recommended tire pressure inside the driver’s side door jamb or in the owner’s manual. Maintaining proper tire pressure helps with fuel economy, handling, and safety. We offer free tire pressure checks to keep your car performing at its best.
Tire rotation is typically recommended every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or at every oil change. Regular rotations help your tires wear evenly, improving traction, fuel efficiency, and overall lifespan. Our certified technicians can rotate your tires during your next service visit.
Most tires last between 40,000 and 60,000 miles, depending on driving habits, road conditions, and tire quality. However, if you notice uneven tread wear, cracks, or vibration while driving, it’s time to have them inspected or replaced by a professional at Mike’s Auto Service in Newington.

My A/C started blowing warm air and Honda quoted me $3800 to repair the condenser, A/C lines, O-rings, and recharge. I spoke to Trent and he advised me to bring my Honda Pilot in for him to asses and he was honest and thorough. Come to find out the A/C lines were fine and I was able to get my A/C fixed for $1500 and a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty thanks to Mike's Auto Repair. Will definitely be coming back for all my future repairs, great staff and service!Posted on GoogleJim K12 days agoWhenever I call for an appointment for an oil change they were always there to serve us. If I needed a ride home I was able to get a ride home. I wouldn't go to any other auto mechanic then Mike's Auto.Posted on GoogleHalo A13 days agoGenuinely loved my experience initially went in for emission testing and the prompt service along with the technician being so pleasant convinced me that this is where I need to bring my vehicle . I had multiple problems with my vehicle and was kinda worried having it on the road but now OMG it’s the sweetest ride ever , it cost a pretty penny but it was worth it .10/10Posted on GoogleCarlos M27 days agoI went for an emission test. It was a walk in, only 30 minutes before closing, and yet they helped me with a smile. Service was fast and professional. Very clean place, even their bathroom was spotless!Posted on GoogleSpatty D39 days agoAppreciate that they are willing to work with you to save on costs.Posted on GoogleRobert P42 days agoI’ve been a customer of Mike’s for years. One car is 26 years old and the other is 12 so they must be doing something right.Posted on GoogleJoan S49 days agoThey thoroughly checked my car. And fixed everything. Very fair prices. Excellent job. Mikes Auto is the best. I've been burnt by other companies. But they are honest. Tell me everything i need b4 they do anything. They go above and beyond. This is the only place I will have my car worked on. They're all very kind and friendly.Posted on GoogleEm M49 days agoI can't say enough good things about this shop. I have brought my 4runner into them a few times. They just repaired my transmission lines by fabricating them, themselves. That says a lot about the effort they are willing to put in. As a car girl, myself i know those lines can be a royal pain! These guys are very honest and trustworthy. They don't treat me like a dummy being a woman as other places have tried to do to me in the past. They are very efficient and fair. I feel very confident with my vehicle in their hands. I will not go anywhere else for future work that may need to be done. I highly recommend them, always! Thank you to the wonderful team for getting my baby fixed timely! Appreciate all of you and the quality work you do.Posted on GoogleErika M50 days agoMike’s Auto is the only place I’ll bring my vehicle. I can’t recommend them enough! Colby was amazing. Not only did he save me nearly $15,000, but he also arranged and paid for Lyfts to and from my house without charging me a single cent. I recently brought my car in because the RPMs were spiking on the highway, and I also needed an oil change. They paid for a Lyft to take me home while they inspected the vehicle. After diagnosing the issue, Colby informed me that my powertrain was still under warranty and explained that the dealership would fix the problem and even perform the oil change at no cost. They easily could have completed the oil change I originally requested and charged me for it, but instead they were completely honest and pointed me in the right direction. Even though they didn’t charge me for anything, Colby still arranged and paid for another Lyft to bring me back to the shop. Their customer service is outstanding, and they’re truly an honest business that puts their customers first. If you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic, Mike’s Auto is the place to go.Posted on GoogleJohn S54 days agoThree dealers failed to properly diagnose a fuel pump and fuel pressure sensor issue. Then i met Colby at Mikes Auto . Colby said his repair shop was better then the rest . Well he was right . He worked with my warranty company diagnosed and fixed issue service lights are off . I recomnend Mikes to anyone
