The certified technicians at our repair shop are experts in providing high-quality tire services, including wheel alignment, tire installation, tire balancing, tire rotation and tire inspection.
Our wheel alignment service will give you the best driving experience. It helps your vehicle drive smoother, your tires last longer, and ultimately keeps your wheels pointed in the right direction. Just like your shoes can wear, so do your tires, and if your wheels are not properly aligned, they can wear unevenly.
Wheel alignment service is very important, because it can expand the life of your tires. Even the smallest alignment issue can result in an uneven tire wear. Once your wheels are properly aligned, its smooth cruising ahead, saving you tire wear, fuel, and ultimately…money.
It’s very important to perform regular tire maintenance, not just for the safety of your family, but also to ensure a long lifespan for your vehicle. You are advised to consult with your owner’s manual in terms of finding the proper tire size for the year, make and model of your vehicle. When you purchase new tires, they have to be in sets of 4, or at least in matching groups of 2 on each axle. This extends the life of your new tires and keeps your tire wear even. You can shop for new tires on our site by size, brand, or vehicle make, model, and year. Browse our extensive stock of new tires, and compare tire specifications and prices before you buy, to ensure you are getting the best new tires for your needs and budget.
Tire Balancing is important to increase the basic safety of your vehicle and extend the life of your tires. The certified technicians at our auto repair shop are here to help with all of your tire balancing and tire service needs.
Tire balancing happens each time you replace your vehicle’s tires. Since tires wear depending on road problems and driving practices, uneven wear will begin to be visible after the initial 600 -1,500 miles of use. You must check your tires for balance every 2,500-4,000 miles. Our certified technicians can assist in determining if your tires need to be balanced and rotated based on mileage and wear.
Your vehicle’s weight is not distributed evenly to all four corners. If you leave all 4 tires just the way they are, some tires would eventually wear out faster than others. We know that tire rotation is an essential part of making your tires last longer. The tire rotation process consists of moving your tires from front to back, moving them from one side of your vehicle to the other or a combination of both, depending on what was done before and your vehicle.
Uneven tire wear could bring about unsatisfactory gas efficiency, poor performance, reduce the life of the new tire and can easily cause safety problems. Regular tire rotation helps eliminate premature tire wear and could save you a lot of money on new tires. Visit our auto repair shop and let our trained mechanics rotate your tires.
Tires need to be checked on regular basis for damage, such as stones, nails or other sharp objects that may have penetrated the tire. They also need to be checked for bulges, tears or cuts that might be the result of contact with road hazards. If you have doubts about the condition of your tires, it’s best to have them inspected by our certified mechanics.
Do a great job and nice people

My daughter lives in Kingston, and I was looking for a garage to repair her vehicle. The only one that came up on Google was “Johns Auto Service”. I called their business and spoke to a gentleman named Derak. When I first met him I was impressed in how he explained everything so well. His knowledge was incredible. He took the time to make sure I understood how he was going to correct the issues. If you live in Kingston and need your vehicle repaired make sure you give “Johns Auto Service” a call. You won’t be disappointed. Steve smith

I moved to Kingston two years ago and in that time I have found that all but one mechanic I had gone to gave only adequate or sub-par service, and it kinda felt like "patchwork" repair, even the so called reputable ones. A good friend recommended JAS and described how they take time (use pictures and video) to explain what they find with my vehicle. I have seen this done twice before - in Ottawa and Alberta - and with today's technology making it easy to do so, I find doing this goes a long way to building trust, to understanding what the mechanic is seeing, and to feel treated with respect. I feel like I'm now a customer for life. Since my last JAS service, driving feels like I can have confidence that the work won't fall apart. I am not a mechanic, and so have to trust what they tell me, but between their explanations and the feel of how my car runs after leaving the lot, I feel confident in their work, and I feel a bit like I have my old Outback in its younger days back. Sounds weird, but it's true. I'm almost looking forward to having them go over my old 1985 classic car to see what they find. Thanks to everyone there for running a great business and what feels like real integrity.

I've never really left a review, but will absolutely take the time to recommend John's Auto. Friday evening my partner and I found out truck couldn't shift into drive, we called John's and they thankfully took it in and we were able to get it looked at come Monday. I absolutely feared the worst, thinking the transmission or something big, scary, and expensive had went on the truck. Of all things involved, a walnut was causing the shifter to get blocked. Derek, who I was in constant contact with, waved the inspection fee for the repair, and gave us some recommendations of things the tech had found. The customer service from Derek, as well as the transparency from him and the company was a breath of fresh air. They have a customer in me for life.

Jess M Sep 9, 2024
This was my first time dealing with this business. They were professional, thorough and easy to communicate with. I do not think anyone really likes taking their car to an auto shop but this was definitely a positive experience.

I basically brought these guys a bucket of bolts at the beginning of summer and they literally performed a miracle by rebuilding my transmission, installing a new clutch, replacing the high pressure fuel pump, fixing an oil pan leak, replacing the windshield and swapping out my tires. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude for their diligence, perseverance, and precision. John‘s Auto Service is a place of integrity, impeccability and the highest professionalism. I will use them for all my automotive service and I can’t recommend them enough!

There service here was outstanding. I had a loose heat shield hanging off the bottom of my car. I managed to get an appointment the next day. The garage kept me up to date via email and text with how the work proceeded. They also updated me on other issues my car had and sent invoices to show how much completing this services would be. Their frequent and easy communication, friendly service and quality repairs really sold me on making this my go to garage in Kingston! I recommend these guys to everyone I know.

I first used John's after noticing some leaking transmission fluid. They found the problem, showed me pictures, and fixed it. Since then I've had very friendly reminders from them when my vehicle is due for service and am very happy to use them for that. I feel like I've found the honest garage I've been looking for. Thanks for you great work.

Amazingly attentive and detailed service! I can’t say enough great things. I’m not a car person and things were explained very clearly and in way that not only could I understand but I knew that there was thought and care behind the work. I have never had such a good experience with an auto shop. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!

Tanja Veenendaal Aug 8, 2021
John’s Auto Service has always been extremely helpful and honest - two qualities that are difficult to find in the car industry. Whenever I required their services, they gave me the run down of the work I needed done and their HONEST opinion.. being a young girl, they could have easily taken advantage of my lack of knowledge, but they never overcharged me, as I pursued other quotes and John’s were always the lowest and best prices, as well as accurately itemized invoices. Would highly recommend their services to anyone. Thanks John’s Auto!
Rachel Hay Aug 8, 2021
The team at John's auto are friendly and approachable. They provide an estimate prior to the service and worked with me to create a service plan for my car. This means I can anticipate upcoming service expenses so that my car stays running well. They help source tires and wipers, give suggestions and always let me decide. John's auto is a quality garage with integrity!!
Sharon Hunter Aug 8, 2021

Amazing customer service! I am new to Kingston and these Mechanics came highly recommended to me by a friend. Although I had a thought wrong with my car and it was a big Bill at first, I have been very satisfied with their explanations and customer service.
