Whether or not i should take my car to a dealer or a trust worthy local mechanic is a question that every car owner goes through. Unless you are getting warranty work DO NOT take your car to the dealer.

First there is a conflict of interest. If you bring your car with 25k on it and it has a small oil leak the dealer wont tell you a thing. But if you take your car after the warranty is up they will be sure to mention the oil leak.

3/32nds is the magic number. When the tread is 3/32 its time for new tires.

How can you tell if your tire is at 3/32nds?

Well most tires have wear indicators. Which are horizontal rubber strips that are recessed in the tread. When these bars become even with the tread you tread depth is 3/32nds.
