From winter tires to general mechanical work, it's all under one roof in Chicoutimi. We work on every make of car, SUV and light truck.

Quebec Law

WINTER TIRES ARE MANDATORY FROM DECEMBER 1 TO MARCH 15

In Quebec, every passenger vehicle must be fitted with compliant winter tires during this period. Book early: the two weeks before December 1 are the busiest of the year. Clients who store their tires with us get priority scheduling.

SALES, INSTALLATION & BALANCING

On Saguenay roads, the right tire is the difference between a controlled winter and a season of stress. We advise you based on your vehicle, your mileage and your budget — never on what we're trying to move off the shelf. As an authorized Michelin and Nokian dealer, we mount and balance your tires on site, then check tread wear and pressure at every visit so there are no nasty surprises.

SEASONAL TIRE STORAGE

It's our most requested service, and for good reason: storing a set of tires on rims in a home garage eats up space, damages the rubber and turns every changeover into a chore. Here, your set is identified by bay number, kept in a clean, dry indoor space, and documented (wear, pressure, season). When the season turns, you book an appointment, we pull your tires and mount them — no hauling them around yourself.

  • Controlled indoor space, protected from humidity and rodents
  • Tracked by bay number and tread condition, visible in your client portal
  • Automatic reminder before the seasonal swap, and priority scheduling

BRAKES, SUSPENSION & STEERING

Cold, road salt and spring potholes are hard on a running gear. Braking that vibrates, a noise in a turn or a steering wheel that pulls should never wait. We diagnose the cause before replacing anything, show you the worn parts and explain what's urgent — and what can wait until the next service.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT & BALANCING

An alignment that's off by a few degrees wears out a new tire in a single season and drives up your fuel consumption. After a winter of potholes, it's often the first thing worth checking. We measure the angles on a computerized rack, adjust as needed and hand you the before/after sheet — your tires last longer and your vehicle tracks straight.

  • Even tire wear, stable handling and fuel saved
  • Recommended after a major impact or when fitting new tires

AIR CONDITIONING, BATTERY & MAINTENANCE

Since your vehicle is already in for tires, you may as well sort the rest. Our roads and our winters are tough on a battery, a muffler or an A/C system. We do the preventive maintenance that keeps you from breaking down at the worst possible time — and we track your service log to remind you what's coming up.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ASK US

Where can I store my seasonal tires in Chicoutimi?

At Pneus Ruelland, in a controlled indoor space, protected from humidity and rodents. Each set is identified by bay number and its condition is visible in your client portal. At the seasonal swap, we pull your tires and mount them — you carry nothing.

When should I do my seasonal tire changeover in Quebec?

Quebec law requires winter tires from December 1 to March 15. We recommend fitting your winter tires by mid-November and switching back to summer tires around mid-April, once the risk of ground frost has passed. Clients who store their tires with us get an automatic reminder and priority scheduling.

Do you do a wheel alignment with every tire change?

Not automatically. Alignment is recommended when fitting new tires, after a major impact (pothole, curb) or if you notice uneven wear or a steering wheel that pulls. We check and advise you honestly — if it isn't needed, we tell you.

Do I need an appointment, or can I just drop by?

Both work. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday based on availability, but in peak season (November–December and April) an appointment guarantees you a slot and cuts the wait.

Do you work on every vehicle make?

Yes. We fit tires and do general mechanical work on every make of car, SUV and light truck, whether new or older. Our maintenance follows your service log to protect your factory warranty.

Do you offer a courtesy vehicle?

Yes, for longer repairs, by reservation and based on availability. We also offer towing to the shop if your vehicle can't be driven. Just mention it when you book.
