With grateful hearts, we have an important announcement to share.

After 6 years of serving this incredible community, our journey together has come to a close. Old School Automotive & Tire will officially be closing after Monday 2/16. This isn’t goodbye just see you later! We will be reopening and relocating to Newberry later this year and will be focusing on powder coating & classic cars.

This was not a decision we made lightly. After much consideration and many conversations, we’ve realized this is the best next step for us.

We are beyond thankful for each one of you who has supported us over the years. Old School Automotive & Tire was more than just a business; it was truly a family.

To our team: thank you for your commitment to excellence, your careful attention to details, and your consistent hard work with every client.

To our customers: thank you for the smiles, the conversations, the referrals, the loyalty, and the trust you placed in us. Your support has meant more than we could ever really express. It has been a true privilege to help keep your families safe and on the road.

We are proud to have been part of this community, and we will always be grateful for the time we shared together.

With sincere appreciation,

Brakes & Stopping Distance in Winter Conditions 🛑❄️

When winter storms come to the area, are you rushing out for milk and bread? It’s important to stock the pantry, sure, but don’t forget to take precautions that might be even more crucial to your family’s health and safety: we’re talking about making sure you (and your care) are ready to drive in the snow and ice.

⚠️ Brake Inspections: We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Making sure your brakes are performing perfectly is paramount any time of year, but especially in the winter. Old School Automotive & Tire can inspect your brakes, pads, and rotors and give you confidence that they are ready to perform.

⚠️ Use Caution: Snow, slush, and ice will increase stopping distance. (Think of it like this: there is more on the road to make you slip, so you need to overcompensate by slowing down sooner). We can guarantee one thing: you’ll never regret driving more slowly and carefully in the cold.

⚠️ Stay Home: At the risk of sounding a little too 2020, we’ve got to remind you of a simple fact. When you avoid wintery roads, you’ll avoid a lot of potential risk. So, it’s always better to stay home when possible if the weather is less than ideal.

Many car owners hate to talk about tires, because they can be surprisingly expensive, and, let’s face it, they tend to go out at the worst possible times. However, don’t forget how absolutely crucial tires are to ensure a safe driving experience! For that reason, it’s important to consider how to best take care of your tires in 2026. Here are some tips to help make it simple:

Q: When is it time to replace my tires?
A: Tires tend to last, on average, about six years or up to 75K miles. Of course, there are a slew of factors that can affect their lifespan such as climate, driving habits, maintenance schedule, and plain old dumb luck, but this time frame can give you a good idea.

Q: How often should I rotate my tires?
A: Most vehicles benefit from tire rotation every 5,000–7,500 miles, which helps them wear evenly and last longer.

Q: Can I replace just one tire as needed?
A: Please don’t! We understand the temptation to just buy the one tire that has failed, but you’ll just have to trust us: a 4 tire replacement will always be optimal and give you the most “bang for your buck”.

Q: What about patches?
A: Some failures can be patched safely but that is limited by location and severity. You’ll also want to avoid multiple patches on the same tire. The best option is to let us look at the damage and give you our best suggestion for getting your car back out on the road.

Q: How can I tell my tires are wearing out?
A: Anytime you can see uneven tread, visible cracks, bulges, or feel a sensation of vibration while driving, it’s time to pay us a visit. If you’re unsure, a quick inspection by our team is the safest call.

Q: Does tire pressure really matter that much?
A: We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Yes, appropriate tire pressure improves safety, fuel efficiency, and tire life.

Charge up for the New Year

Looking forward to 2026 with lots of optimism? We are, too. Don’t forget to take some down time over December as we approach the New Year. As you re-connect with family, re-charge your social battery, and relax before the new year, let’s jump into a few of our best tips to help preserve your car’s battery life going into 2026.

· Don’t let your car sit unused for long – running it for at least a few minutes each week helps the battery stay strong.

· Don’t use lights, radio, or charge your electronics with the engine of the car off – it can tax the battery.

· Protect the battery from extreme temperatures – parking in the shade during the summer or in a garage during winter can help.

· Keep the battery clean and free of corrosion – visually inspecting it for any build-up is important.

· Brace the battery properly by making sure it’s secured correctly in its bracket – a snug battery will last longer.

· Replace preventatively – every 3-5 years, a new battery will keep your car going strong.
