Hoses & Belts
The hoses and belts of your vehicle engine are important components used to transfer fluids and energy to the systems where they are needed most.

When you bring your car or truck into 1215 Tire & Auto, we thoroughly inspect all critical components, including belts and hoses, to prevent any unwanted surprises down the road.

When these components fail, overall vehicle performance can be affected, causing fuel consumption to increase and overall noise and comfortability to be affected. 1215 Tire & Auto offers full exhaust system services, including the replacement of catalytic converters, mufflers, brackets, and more.
