As the only parts of our vehicles that are supposed to touch the ground, our tires go through a lot. They are key to the operation of our cars, so we must ensure they get the care and maintenance they need. This involves a number of different tire services.
If you’ve been searching, “Tire rotation and balance”, “Tire installation”, or “Tire services Dartmouth”, we can help. At NS Diesel & Automotive, we offer a number of tire services. Here’s what you should know about tire service.
You can! NS Diesel & Automotive offers a range of tire service to Nova Scotians. We can ensure you’re driving on functional and good-condition tires. But what kinds of tire services might you need?
Tires require special services and maintenance because they experience a lot of friction and because they’re constantly carrying the mass of your vehicle. This means that tires typically wear out quicker than other components of your vehicle. But there are things you can do to increase the tread life of your tires and their overall longevity.
That’s why we offer regular tire maintenance and service. The tire experts at NS Diesel & Automotive can perform all the services your tires and wheels require. We offer a complete variety of tire services, including:
We have a variety of the most popular tire brands and models for sale. If you’re not sure which type of tire is best for your automobile, driving style, or for specific weather conditions, we can help. Our technicians can advise you on the best tire choice for you. Once you’ve decided on the tires you want to buy, we’ll install them for you. We provide precise and quick tire installation.
The weight of a car, truck, van, or SUV is never evenly distributed to each of its four wheels. In most automobiles, the engine is at the front, so the front tires bear the most weight. By rotating your tires regularly, you can prevent uneven tire wear and increase tire longevity.
At NS Diesel & Automotive, we can mount your vehicle’s tires and wheels on to a machine that measures how well balanced they are. If we find an imbalance, we can correct it by installing tire weights. This process helps to prevent uneven tire wear and can extend the tread life of your tires.
Wheels can fall into misalignment for multiple reasons. The most common reason is simply regular wear and tear. Misaligned wheels impede steering and can even be dangerous. But when your wheels are aligned properly, you’ll enjoy a smoother and safer drive.
If you’re in the Dartmouth area of Nova Scotia, there’s no need to keep searching for tire services near you. Just come to NS Diesel & Automotive. We have many different models and brands of tires for sale.

Great service and communication. For months I tried to find a shop which services an older Gas Class A motorhome. NS Diesel was the only in a large area which took the job. And then they where excellent. First I thought, I need to take my RV because are they only one. But now I'm glad I did. Got updates along the way. A detailed report after the inspection and reasonable estimates.

Folks, this is a 5* business. I brought my 2000 Commander motorhome built on a Ford F53 chassis to NS Diesel for a safety inspection and from the moment I entered I knew this company had a great sense of pride in their ownership. The depth of their inspection was impressive and even more impressive was how the information was presented in a very well organized and detailed report. A special thank you goes out to Brent, the Service Manager, and Rebecca, the Parts & Service Advisor for putting up with my Q & A while I waited in what looked to be a very nice, recently renovated reception/waiting area. Thanks again guys, I will let all my diesel and motorhome friends know who you are! Mike Shaw

NS Diesel & Automotive performs regular work on my service truck and I couldn't ask for a better experience. The front end staff are fantastic, the techs are knowledgeable and thorough, and the owner Steve clearly puts a tremendous amount of effort into running the business in a way that makes all these things obvious and possible.

Can't recommend these guys enough. Jake did an awesome job on my truck, very clean installation of my dsp5 switch and fass pump, looks like it would have came that way from factory. Rebecca and Brent were awesome to deal with, very friendly and helpful with all of my questions. Definitely a shop I'll recommend, 11/10

Great people to deal with! They took the time to figure out exactly what was wrong with with my truck and fixed it. When other establishments wanted to either tear down my engine or replace it. If I ever have any problems in the future, I will be contacting NS Diesel. You’d be a fool not to go here to get work done to your vehicle.

Fair prices, great communication & The detailed reports with pictures allow you to know you are seeing exactly what they are. Zero hesitation about suggesting them to anytime. Bonus; They have cool stickers!

Took our Class A Tiffin motorhome in for Nova Scotia MVI certification and NS Diesel was very professional, thorough, and went above and beyond what any other dealer I think would do. They even inspected and took pictures of various mechanical systems on the chassis and provided us with a written report with photographs.

Thanks for your patience working out some anomalies with mounting hubs that is apparently unique to Tundra’s at no additional cost to me and for fielding my concerns with haste. First time owner of half ton truck and found NS Diesel online , mainly do fleets but happy to take walk ins, service was thorough and helped me save money on some surprises, also checked lots of other stuff while I was there as value add. Also extra thanks to “Sherlock” Darcy, for figuring out the last weird noise to sort out was door hinge. Nice waiting room surprisingly too for fleet truck shop, not intimating at all, Rebecca and the team in the front, service manager Brent all cordial folks. Certainly will be back with Tundra and future trucks.
