Had a good experience at the Calais store. They were willing to squeeze me in for my inspection near the end of the day on a Saturday. They were friendly (Joe, Jeff, and the folks in the shop whose names I didnu2019t catch), and had it finished within 45 minutes.

Very knowledgable professionals with great customer service. They care about you and did a great job on my wife's 2018 subaru and my 2004 silverado differentials. The best mechanics around here, highly recommend them.

All-Season

All-Season

All-Season tires are versatile and suitable for warm and cool climates, but not recommended for extreme hot or cold weather conditions because of specific rubber components.

All-Weather

Like their name suggests, all-weather tires are versatile and can perform well in a variety of weather conditions and can be severe snow-rated.

All-Terrain

With bigger treads than traditional all-season tires, all-terrain tires allow for both on and off-roading capabilities.

Winter

Winter tires are manufactured to perform well in snow, ice, sleet and other cold weather conditions. Winter tires are typically soft, with an intricate grooved tread pattern — made for holding compacted snow and creating traction — and are severe snow-rated.
