When You Need This
Tire issues don’t just affect comfort — they impact safety and handling. Schedule a diagnostic if you notice any of the following:
Uneven or Rapid Tread Wear
Indicates alignment, rotation, or inflation problems that need attention.
Vibration While Driving
Can result from unbalanced tires, bent wheels, or internal tire damage.
Thumping or Humming Noise
Often points to uneven tread wear, cupping, or a separated tire belt.
Loss of Air Pressure
A slow leak, puncture, or valve stem issue can cause steady air loss over time.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Neglecting a tire issue can lead to blowouts, poor handling, or rapid tread wear. Addressing the problem early improves safety, extends tire life, and saves money over time.
What It Could Be
Tire concerns can stem from multiple causes — sometimes from the tires themselves, other times from related components. Common causes include:
• Improper Tire Balance
Causes vibration at certain speeds.
• Wheel Alignment Issues
Leads to uneven tread wear and pulling.
• Internal Tire Separation or Belt Shift
Creates thumping or wobbling at speed.
• Slow Leak or Puncture
Common from road debris or faulty valve stems.
• Suspension or Steering Wear
Loose components can cause cupping or irregular wear patterns.
How This is Done
We use precision diagnostic tools and proven inspection methods to uncover the cause accurately.
1. Visual Tire Inspection
Check tread depth, wear pattern, and visible damage.
2. Pressure and Leak Test
Identify punctures, leaks, or faulty valve stems.
3. Spin Balance or Road Force Test
Detect internal tire or wheel imbalance.
4. Suspension and Alignment Check
Rule out external causes of wear or vibration.
5. Explain Results
Review findings and credit the diagnostic toward any approved service.

Rated 5-stars by hundreds of DC-area drivers
“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I'll definitely check them out again.”
- DAVE W.Is the diagnostic really free?
Yes — if you approve the recommended repair or service, we waive the $100 diagnostic fee.
Can I drive with a tire vibration?
It’s best not to — vibrations can cause premature wear or damage to suspension components.
How do I know if my tires are out of balance or alignment?
Balancing issues cause vibration at certain speeds, while alignment problems cause uneven wear or pulling.
Can a tire be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes, if the damage is within the tread area and meets safety standards — we’ll let you know right away.
Do you check for slow leaks?
Absolutely. We test for punctures, valve stem leaks, and rim seal issues.
What does the Roda warranty cover?
All repairs performed after diagnosis are covered by our Roda 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, including both parts and labor for complete peace of mind.
