How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires?
If you think of your tires like you think of shoes, it’s helping in getting to understand the inner workings of the importance of tire maintenance. While you can walk around the Danvers, Salem, and Peabody areas in older shoes, they may not be as comfortable, and you won’t walk as far, right? The same goes for the tires on your car.
Your front wheel drive car may drive just fine with older tires on it, but you may start to notice reduced gas mileage or a weird sound. Much like your aching feet, the worn tires do affect your vehicle, so most service technicians recommend frequent tire rotations in order to keep your car operating at its highest level. At Ira Toyota of Danvers, we’ll walk you through how often this service needs to be performed. Schedule a service appointment today to get started.
What Is a Tire Rotation and How Often Should You Rotate Them?
When you have a front wheel drive vehicle or a rear wheel drive vehicle, the two tires on which the drivetrain is focused wear out faster than the others. On a front wheel drive car, your back tires will likely last a great deal longer, while the front start to lose their luster. During a tire rotation, your service technician works to ensure proper wearing by routinely switching those tires around.
Using the example of a front wheel drive car, you don’t want to have to replace the tires before the end of their lifespan, so you’ll need to keep up with the tire rotation needs. Usually, every five thousand miles, it is recommended that you get the car serviced to have the front two tires moved to the back and vice versa to promote even wear.
Why Do We Rotate Tires?
Let’s go back to the shoe example; your favorite running shoes show signs of wear, correct? The treads are more worn down, and you can tell your strike pattern of how your feet hit the pavement. Your tires are much the same in that they can tell the story of how you drive, but you want to avoid having them show it off too early.
Most tires are expected to last at least 50,000 miles, but if you’re not using a proper rotation schedule, you will find that they’re wearing out faster. For this reason, the longevity of the tires, you should be rotating every three to four months or with every oil change, if you’re driving the standard 12,000-15,000 miles per year.

Upon my first visit to Ira Toyota to purchase a new car, I was greeted at the door by Gabriella, who was more than welcoming. She guided me through the whole process of picking out my new car and with the trade of my former car. She was very knowledgeable and personable which made the whole process go smoothly. Would definitely consider Ira again and sales associate Gabriella as a top notch salesperson.
Had my Subaru forester repaired at Ira collision center and they did a great job. Bob, my service advisor, kept me updated on progress.
The Ira Service department is excellent. A big shout out to Steve in the service department. He goes above and beyond. I purchased my 2015 Rav-4 from Ira 11 years ago. Ira is the only company that has serviced my vehicle. Best decision ever. My next vehicle will be from Ira.
Extremely disappointed with the multipoint inspection service. The technician marked off basic checks that were clearly not performed properly. My coolant reservoir was left almost completely empty, and the engine oil level was only filled halfway on the dipstick. Furthermore, a distinct metallic engine noise from the water pump/belt area was completely ignored. A multipoint inspection should catch basic fluid shortages and obvious mechanical noises before handing the keys back to the customer. Unreliable service and poor attention to detail."
I was there for a one year service. 3340 miles. It shouldn’t take 2 hours for an oil change and tire rotation!!
Very great service they got done everything pretty fast to get me back on the road!
I bought it there and so far have only performed maintenance there. I have no complaints.
Second time that I got my vehicle back and had greasy hand prints all over the front end of my vehicle. Don’t wipe anything down, just gives my vehicle back dirty and greasy. Service people aren’t nice, don’t know how to greet customers and even ask for if they can help them.
The service advisor was kind and professional. She was great to work with. Thank you
The service was quick and I appreciated the detailed summary and video of the work done. However, it took close to an hour from when I got the confirmation my car was done and to be handed the keys.
A one and a half hour job took six and a half hours to complete during which time I had no feedback from the agent except when I sought him out.
I went in for my first 5K miles service, thinking id be getting an oil change, i was immediately treated as if I know nothing about cars or car maintenance and told they dont do oil changes at 5K miles and that I needed to wait till 10K despite the emails and text messages harassing me to come in for service, I was told I could have my tires rotated if I wanted to wait 3 hours. The guy Steve, seemed like he was trying to talk me out of the service all together, he eventually agreed to get me an ... Read More DealerRater - Sep 15, 2026
Great customer service, highly recommend Ira Toyota in Danvers for all your automobile maintenance and service !
They took care of my 12 month check up of my corolla cross very thoroughly and very quickly
After receiving notification that my car was ready, I arrived to pick up. Was told by service woman in waiting area to go to where I dropped off car. Walked to where she pointed and there were 7 employees sitting at desks. One was helping a customer. The other 6 were either talking with each other or playing on cell phone. Not one of them inquired if I needed any help. Once customer was finished with employee I approached him to pick up my car. I was then asked who I dropped it off to. Let him and now another employee know ... Read More DealerRater - Sep 12, 2026
Awesome. Always great. They said 2 hours and I think it was 2 hours to the minute.
Service reps were knowlegable and friendly. They worked with me to find the specific model with the addons inwas looking for and found it faster than what was estimated.
OUTSTANDING service provided by Bruce Brewer. We were TOTALLY satisfied Team Toyota Service is exceptional. Bravo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vehicle went in for 10000 service, given 15000 service. Requested to check radio/GPS system when having a conversation. The technician took the vehicle for a 17 mile ride with no one in the vehicle to duplicate. How do you duplicate a conversation if the technician is by himself? The technician did not duplicate the error
Easy, efficient. Can stay or go- easy either way. Sometimes it can take a long time but having these two options helps
Service was excellent, I arrived early and they were still able fit me into the schedule earlier. I waited and service was quick.
Salesman forgot???!!! To register our car. We came back a week later to pick it up and no registration or sticker. You spend $$$$ I expected service and people who are efficient and care. NOT at IRA.
Great place with professional employees who treat me with respect. I appreciate the speed in which the car was fixed despite the amount of work and how easy it was to go through the process from the start to the end. Another thing I would like to appreciate was being able to receive a video of some of the problems in the car being shown to me and also the fact that I got calls updated on what I wanted to get done in the car and how fast it would be done. Thank you, Luiz S vala
Angel was my representative. He was very nice, thorough, and knowledgeable. I appreciate his help and patience.
Always a great place to chat with Steve and Kassandra both are awesome. Great job
I had to wait about 15 mins before a gentleman came and greeted me then I met Cassandra I gave its wow. She treated me as l was the best customer ever
Very disappointed- dropped off the car at 9:20 am and was told I’d receive a phone call telling me what was needed but never received a call, Only received an email with numerous recommendations for other work unrelated work that is unnecessary. $205 diagnostic charge is a scam. Reputable shops tell you what is needed for no charge. Don’t bring your car here!
I can only hope they use synthetic oil in my engine cause if not, I’m gonna have a problem ?
Very clean bays and office areas. Staff conduct themselves in a professional manner throughout. I trust my Toyota with this establishment.
Tom Chase is very welcoming. He listened to my concerns and helped me with my electronics issues.
My experience was wonderful. I felt respected and they never once made me feel as though my credit or finances were not worthy of getting a car. In fact they were able to get me a better car and deal than even I thought I could get. I felt they went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable. A big shout out to Jesse and Abdul Ouhaj
The service was great. The lead up to it was confusing between calling to inquire about detailing and having the AI schedule it even though I told them on the phone I decided not to have. Seems to be working against the customer.
The dealership has become a high overhead factory with the goal of selling as many parts and services as humanly possible.
The people at Ira Toyota have always treated me with respect and courtesy since my first Toyota truck bought back in the 1970’s. My current truck, a 2011 Extended Cab Tacoma, bought new off the lot has been my favorite ever since I sold my Toyota T100. It’s the only place I trust for my truck to be serviced.
The service department was nice, but their only offered solution for a rear AC leak in a mid-sized SUV would have cost over $2,700. I already knew exactly where the leak was and what was required to fix it, but they insisted on doing their own diagnosis which couldn’t have taken more than 20 minutes, but cost me $205 (and only confirmed what I knew).
It’s a good car otherwise, but 2019 with almost 90K miles. They never mentioned the other solution, which is an $80 rear AC “block kit” and is a relatively simple job to install.

I had bad experience the last 2 visit for service honestly they make me change my mind about the place
Nice service waiting area. Took way longer than the promised (3-4 hrs) took 6. I had to find car myself out in a huge lot. They should have valeted my car. I'm 76 years. I insisted to wait on recalls but was pushed to get them done.that day. Blew my schedule for the day for an oil change and tire rotation
It's always an excellent experience at Ira Toyota of Danvers. They keep my Toyota Crown running like new. My service manager Alpesh Patel is great and adds a personal touch for appointment scheduling and recommended service. He offers clear explanation of any recommended services. The waiting area is clean and comfortable. There is free coffee, comfortable seating, and TV and a snack bar WiFi service is free and works well. Highly recommended!
Always very professional very informative pleasant personnel clean environment Great coffee always explained what was done and if any further repairs are needed
Had a disappointing experience with the service department. My vehicle serivce was completed. It took an hour for the service rep to process my paperwork and get out the door. 4 hours for an oil change and tire rotation. Way too long.
I stopped in today and needed a new battery for my car. Alexander helped me with my problem and I got my car fixed very quickly. Thanks you very much 😊😊
I had an appointment today for routine maintenance. I was on time and didn't have to wait. The service was quick and I enjoyed complimentary coffee while I was there. All in all, it was a pleasant experience.
Over 3 hours for an oil change and tire rotation with an appointment is far too long to wait
Great, helpful and knowledgeable service advisors and sales people especially Robert Flannagan, Nate Brungot and Matthew Buonomo.
Extremely Frustrating Experience
I booked an appointment online at Ira Toyota for a simple oil change and tire rotation. Their own website was offering a discounted rate for booking during the middle of the day, in the middle of the week, so I selected one of those appointment times and planned my day accordingly.
I arrived on time for my scheduled appointment only to be told it would take TWO HOURS for an oil change and tire rotation.
Seriously—what exactly is the purpose of making an appointment?
If customers are going to arrive at their scheduled time only to ... Read More DealerRater - Aug 13, 2026
Service today was a pleasant experience. Bruce was helpful in guiding and facilitating the process. Making an appointment ahead of time before the service worked well.
Service advisors are always attentive and keep me up to date with what’s happening to my car!
Excellent service, the video they send me about what they did on my car and recomended for the next visit was excellent.
Booked my rav4 in for 8am. 10/8/26 Got there 7.55.am was told it would take around 3 hrs so opted to wait. Eventually left at 3.25PM! Was informed when I asked.wait time totally unacceptable. Given a discount by person who checked me in. However very unhappy with time I had to wait - 7 and 1/2 hours.
Why make an appointment when you have to wait 3 hours for a simple oil change? It makes no sense to me.
Kedwin & Mr. Patel made this the easiest buying process. Very professional and knowledgeable. Excellent customer service from beginning to end.
Bad service wait time long almost six hours all they care is how to get money from you Expensive too
Alex kept me informed throughout the entire process. The price was as promised. Great overall experience. Will be back soon. Overall very happy and pleased
The service advisor that I had today Angel was his name was beyond rude and condescending. Every question I asked related to my service he responded to me as if he was speaking to a five year old. Very disrespectful and highly unprofessional. He needs training in customer service/ relations.
I took my Toyota Sienna in for a 20K service. They were pleasant and very efficient. I was in and out in under two hours. A great dealer
Great dealership, but would be nice if they had coupons to lower the cost of repairs.
They are very friendly David Rojas is wonderful person to work with I see him again
Cheers to bringing on Dennis! Much better service this time. Truly value the loaner car. And received much better. More professional attention this visit.
My service guy Alex was wonderful. He’s very good very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you.
I was there from about 3 to 5 thirtyish. The cashier who was on duty at that time was extremely kind helpful, and went out of her way to assist me. Friddie your janitor also gave me a hand when I needed help, I'm elderly, great attitude. The one thing that I probably dislike the most coming into your dealership is I drive my car in through the big open door to indicate I need service. A gentleman comes over very nice after he's helped other people and tells me to please stay where I am, someone will come and ... Read More DealerRater - Jul 22, 2026
Everyone is so efficient They work together amazingly It’s an easy process and they keep you well informed . Matt was very helpful and knowledgeable
Awesome service,great staffs convinced very well on the project,quick service on the oil change.
I had good service well taken care of by tom chase car came back ciean
IRA Toyota is great, but the waiting time is horrible. I had my appointment scheduled for about a month or so and I waited almost four hours for routine maintenance (with an appointment).
This dealership is excellent. They listen to all your needs and they solve problems. Fabiana the service manager is the highest quality professional. She knows how to treat people with respect and dignity. They know how to repair cars and get things right the first time. I will always bring my Toyota here for service and tepairs.
Technical service has been always good. However car pick up and check out seems to take longer than it should. Often waiting for your person when others are idle. And the others can jump in and check you out.
As usual, Ira always delivers the best possible service. They are pros and know how to take care of their customers and their cars, as well
Top notch service. Always do the job well in a timely fashion. Comfortable place to wait.
Great that IRA Toyota sent $17.76 Oil change email coupons. NOT GREAT that it took 3 hours (8AM-11AM) to do the oil change. Then, the vehicle was 3rd in line behind empty cars and blocked to exit...so I had to ask for help to get out!
During these economic struggles thanks to our current administration, it's extremely helpful the promotions this dealer provided. Very helpful for some of us disabled living check by check.
This was the first time I’ve had a bad experience there. I had an appointment for 7:50 AM; I dropped off my car for maintenance and was told it would be ready in 2–3 hours. They sent me home via Uber, but I didn't get my car back until 5:00 PM—I wasted the whole day waiting. I called twice, but the answer was always that it wasn't ready yet (and just to clarify, it was only for basic maintenance).
Great customer service from Nate in service department. Very happy with my experience with him and the rest of the team at Ira Toyota.
Efficient and we’ll organized routine care on my lease. They send you a video of what’s being done to your car
All good … very polite, etc. But rather lengthy wait🙁. Maybe just a bad day for them.
Aways have had excellent service every time I have having my vehicles serviced..would Recommend ira.
Fantastic customer service! My service advisor JoJo was excellent! A true professional and was friendly and extremely accomodating! I have had only great experiences here since purchasing my 25 Rav4 XLE Premium from Kledi in November!
I had a 2pm appointment. Got there at 1:50 for just an oil change. They didn't get my truck into the shop to start it till 5:15. I didn't pay and leave till 5:55. Why make the appointment at all? Very disappointed and left irritated.
The woman/service person who took my car was not very informative. I asked about car alarms while veering me back and she said it was a safety feature that is always on, well it wasn't always on and she offered no way for me to fix it. I asked if I could get a sticker as my car is due in July she said " well you can but it's gonna say 6" which threw me off and. Said lk never mind. She was just very dry and not helpful. The girl at the food counter did ... Read More DealerRater - Jul 7, 2026
Don’t bother to make an appointment , they take their sweet time servicing you Waited over 3 hours for ONLY and oil change . Would have been longer if I didn’t ask what was going on . Clearly they overbook
Very professional.Prompt attention to detail.Thorough explanation of all work.conscience and polite staff
The maintenance department's service is terrible; scheduled appointments are not honored, and the work is left incomplete.
Very professional appointment right on time all problems taken care of nice people working at dealership
Abdou was fantastic. Great experience. Was in and out with my wife. No hassle. Recommend to all my family
Took six hours for an oil change, rotation, and alignment with an appointment. It was only after four hours when they recommended additional services and they weren’t even done the original work, that again, was scheduled. Denise was very nice though!
Great sales. My 2026 Corolla has a window that doesn’t go up/down properly. Twice it has been in and still not fixed. MA lemon law applies once they cannot fix it in 3 tries. I’ll be headed back this week again.
Fair prices, above and beyond on services and definitely referring friends and family. Definitely coming back
Steve Mahan service advisor is the best. Very attentive, always welcoming. Was able to accommodate me on the same day for service
I like the way that the dealership handles my car when I bring it in for maintenance. They are very professional and friendly.
The most disorganized and rudest service I have ever gotten at a dealership. From the intake person who was the most unprofessional at drop off to pick up at the end. They even had me go out to locate my car among a sea of cars. So glad I only took my car there to be serviced and didnt purchase a vehicle from them. Trust me, go anywhere but there. Not worth the aggravation.
The dealership is clean they moved the desks from the garage bays into the building giving more space to drop cars and I appreciated the greeter
Went in for a 5,000 service which is just topping fluids and rotating tires. Took two hours!! And when checking in was asked if I wanted it washed. I said yes but it wasn’t washed. This is my first service experience. Hoping this isn’t the norm.
Fab servicing for my Highlander We get all 4 cars die. At Ira Toyota Thanks
Four hours to get oil change. Unacceptable. When checking in stated 2 1/2 hr wait. Will not return
I had a 11:20 appointment for an oil change. I had to wait 3:30 hours to get the job done. You need to speed things up. I have bought 4 cars from IRA - right now I am disappointed with your service department.
IRA Toyota did a great job of replacing the steering column and replacing the rear brake pads and rotors on my 2010 Matrix.
Your customer service was excellent.We understood each other on the price. Good recommendation overall.
Service was excellent. Willie my service Coordinator Was polite at intentive he’s my bad every time I come to have a service done on our 2013 Camry hybrid. Thank you Willie
My car is 6 years old & have had it serviced at Ira Toyota since purchasing it. I have had no issues with any service I’ve had done there. It is easy to get an appointment when you want at the time you want. All the service advisers I have worked with have been courteous & friendly.
The time I spent at the dealership was less than I anticipated from start to finish.
Priced great. Cooperative. Transparent. Edwin Olivo went above amd beyond on the final steps. Highly recommend him. I am a tough critic.
