Our bay is on Ogilvie Road in Gloucester, close to Blackburn Hamlet, so dropping the vehicle off is often the quickest option. Mobile visits are available too, with a $60-$120 call-out on top of the job.
Innes Road is the main corridor through the hamlet, historically dividing the older Blackburn Corners and Blackburn Station areas, and it carries heavy daily commuter traffic in and out of the east end. Consistent stop-and-go traffic here is a common contributor to uneven tread wear.
The hamlet is bordered by National Capital Commission Greenbelt land and former RCMP property, with more than 250 kilometres of connected trails nearby. That green, semi-rural edge means more leaves, sticks and seasonal debris finding their way onto driveways and roadsides than a fully built-up neighbourhood sees.
A front tire job on a white SUV in Blackburn Hamlet. With the wheel off and set on the ground beside the car, we had a clear view of the brake rotor and strut while the work was done. The vehicle stayed on a floor jack until the wheel went back on.
Blackburn Hamlet’s 1960s and 70s-era streets, mature trees and greenbelt border give it a different feel from Ottawa’s newer suburbs. We handle routine rotation, balancing and seasonal changeovers for daily Innes Road commuters, plus mobile visits for driveways tucked away from the main corridor. In-shop appointments work well too if you are passing through on Innes Road.

Blackburn Hamlet has held onto its quiet, tucked-away feel since the first residents settled here in 1967, with National Capital Commission Greenbelt land wrapping around nearly every side of the community. Innes Road remains the main link to the rest of east Ottawa, and the steady commuter traffic it carries is exactly why we build our visit scheduling around it.
