I do not get my tires rotated and I only get the oil changed maybe once a year. Maybe once a month I will have to get gas. The last time I put gas in my other car was last Thanksgiving.

I haven't because dragging a toddler and a preschooler to the tire place, and waiting 2-3 hours is not on my things I want to do list... but I went Tuesday and they couldn't rotate them because they were too worn so I bought new tires and will try to go in every 5000 miles or whatever to get it done. They really need to make the tire place more interesting... it's next to a hardware store and a bowling alley. If it was close to a Target or craft store at least I could leave and do something while I'm waiting... Yikes. I've never had to wait anywhere close to that for a tire rotation! When we'd get it done at Les Schwab, it was usually 30 mins MAX. Same here. They usually do that while the oil change is being done. I think the tops I have waited was 45 mins but they were very busy that day.

My dealer usually does it when the snow tires are taken off or put on.

Yes, every 5,000 miles. I bought my tires from Les Schwab so the rotations are free.

My tires are rotated every 7500 miles and the oil changed every 3750 miles per the manual.

Yes, it voids the warranty on the tires if they are not rotated. I do it at least every other oil change.

My husband rotates them from time to time. Plus they get rotated every time we switch from snow tires to regular ones and back again.

I get my tires rotated every 5,000 miles, which is also how often i get my oil changed. I go to Bell Tire, as a walk in it takes about 30 minutes. I got "dinged" for 2 tires when i turned in a leased vechicle, they told me it was because I never rotated the tires so there was uneven wear on 2 of them.

It's routine with an oil change at any place I have ever gone.

DH changes them with every oil change. I drive an AWD car (Subaru), so it's extra important to even out the wear.

I take my car to the dealership for all its scheduled maintenance. They rotate the tires every so often as part of that.

Of course. I take my car in for regular maintenance and they keep track of when stuff like this gets done. It can make your tires last a lot longer.

Yes. Every time I take my car in for an oil change.

Every 5,000 miles. I had no idea people did not do this. My first set of tires lasted 6 years, including 5 incredibly brutal Iowa winters of snow, ice, and -40 temperatures.

Absolutely. Your tires won't wear evenly otherwise.

I didn't realize so many people got their oil changed somewhere. Until we had this vehicle we've always done it ourselves-my dad taught me to when I was a teen. Our current car was covered for 25K miles though, so all oil changes were free at the dealer, and after 25K I just kept going. After the screw-up that almost happened on our last visit though, dh is going to start doing it himself again.

I bought my tires at Costco and they will rotate them for free. I have it done about every 6,000 miles. Tires are expensive and I want them to last for as long as possbile.

When ever the car is in the service department I get them checked. They rotate them as necessary.

I am not flat enough to change the oil in my van and being under the van while it is up on those ramp thingies would freak me out! If I waited for DH to do it it would never happen so... it's the same reason I mow the lawn and do most of the yard work. I apparently have an indoor DH...
