Hard to imagine that Tire shops mentioned here would be able to do anything beyond just the bare basic maintenance items. Today's vehicles have so many electronically controlled components on them. There is no way the tire shops will have the specific special diagnostic and repair tools and factory training that is takes to do the job with the hundreds of make and model vehicles out there today.
I worked for years with a major tire company on the service side. We had to send away many jobs daily to the dealer. With that, I then for the following 25 years, worked with one of the big 3 automotive manufacturers in service. Tire shops are limited in what they can do.
