Automotive News & Information - Gateway Auto Clinic

At Gateway Auto Clinic we know how important tire maintenance is. Like the shoes on our feet, the tires and wheels on our cars protect us from direct contact with the ground. And like those shoes, we wear day in and day out, tires and wheels can rub, wear unevenly, and eventually fail to do their jobs.

Flat tires are a huge inconvenience. The only thing worse than having a flat on your way home from work is having to wait on a tow truck to come to get you. Gateway Auto Clinic in Kettering, OH wants to give you some tips on how to change your own tire so that you can keep money in your pocket and get your car back on the road.

This place was recommended and after visiting it to have my differential fluid changed I know why! Dan is knowledgeable, honest, and supplies written estimates for what he finds that will be need to be done soon. I felt no pressure too complete any recommended services. I will use them again. I was doing my laundry next door while they worked on my car and Dan even walked over after my car was done to let me know. That's good service!
