Winter tires on before the first snow.
Once daytime highs sit around 7°C, all-season rubber hardens and stops gripping. In Edmonton that is usually well before the first snowfall — and the week it does snow is the week every shop in the city is full.
Swap season is the busiest stretch of our year. Booking a day or two ahead is the difference between an hour in the bay and waiting for a slot after the first cold snap.
The whole changeover, not just the tires.
- Summer to winter changeover, on rims or off

- New winter tire sales and installation
- Flat repair while the wheels are off
- Off-season storage, so your garage stays clear
- A price before we start, not after
Three steps, no guessing games.

When should I put winter tires on in Edmonton?
Once daytime highs settle around 7°C, the rubber in all-season tires stiffens and stops gripping properly — that usually lands in late September or early October here. Waiting for the first real snowfall is the problem: that is the week everyone in the city calls at once.
How long does a winter tire swap take?
Usually under an hour once your car is in the bay. Book a day or two ahead if you can, especially around the first cold snap.
Do I need an appointment, or can I drop in?
Booking ahead gets you in fastest — you are on the hoist at your time, not whenever a bay opens up. We take walk-ins when we have room, but swap season fills up quick.
Can you store my summer tires over the winter?
Yes. We store your off-season set so your garage stays clear, and swap them back when the weather turns.
Do I need a new set, or can you just swap what I have?
If your winter set is already on rims, it is a straight swap. If the tread is gone or you do not have a set yet, we sell and install new ones — and we will tell you honestly what still has life left in it.
What does a winter tire swap cost?
It depends on your vehicle and whether your set is on rims. Call us with your make and model and we will give you a real number before any work starts — no surprise charges once the car is up.
