DEBOER’S AUTO VS. TIRE RACK

By Bill DeBoer Jr on Jun 24, 2016 4:00:00 PM

It’s that time again!  Your baby needs new shoes.  Your vehicle that is, not your child.   Much like auto inspections, it’s highly doubtful anyone enjoys this necessary evil.  The buying process for new tires can be untimely, pricey, and confusing.  There are so many options, and many of us don’t know up from down in this situation.  Traditionally, you’d go to an auto garage and they would sell and install your tires for you.  DeBoer’s Auto would fit into this category, though as auto specialists they also do so much more.  However in today’s tech-driven world, you now have the option to buy your tires direct from an internet supplier such as Tire Rack, and have them installed once you receive them.  Which option is the better one?  Well, that answer lies in what your needs are.

By Bill DeBoer on Nov 14, 2014 7:00:00 AM
