G & R Tire

I initially found this place through TireBuyer when I was looking through their list of tire installers. I also needed my brakes replaced as the front pads were wearing low and I was told that the rear shoes were needing replacement. I made an appt Saturday morning and they got the car done before closing which is 12pm. They told me the rears were fine and did not to be replaced. Prices were also reasonable. There are two G&R’s on opposite sides of Simpson Way, G&R Auto & Truck and G&R Tire. G&R Tire is on the North side.

I see these guys on the daily. Great group of guys that bust out a hard days work. Thanks to all of you for being gentlemen. I appreciate all that you do. I’ll be back for tires again real soon! If you ever need tires on top of great customer service go to G & R.

I can’t believe G&R only has (2) reviews. After all, they have been in business at the same location for many years. So, let’s make it (3) reviews now with mine…
I first discovered G&R a few years ago when I ordered some tires via the internet and had them shipped to G&R for installation. G&R called me when the tires arrived and we made an appointment. I sent my wife in with our car since I had to work. She was back on the road in less than half an hour. That other huge tire store that you see everywhere with big red letters (initials D.T.) always takes FOREVER to install my tires. According to my wife, G&R was not only fast and efficient, their facility was clean and every person who works there treated her with friendliness and respect. She came home very happy and that makes me very happy!
NOTE: G&R is both a tire center and repair center. It all used to be under one roof, but about two years ago they expanded across the street so the repair center is in one building and the tire center is in the other.
TODAY, my wife went back to G&R to have a flat tire repaired. Out of habit, she had first gone to that other big store with the big red letters (initials D.T.). They told her, «Sorry. It can’t be repaired. And since your tires are partially worn, we need to sell you TWO NEW TIRES!» She called me at work to ask whether she should do that. I told her to say no and come on home. The tire that needed to be fixed had a large roofing nail stuck in the tread. It was not in the sidewall nor was it too close to the sidewall. According to regulations, a hole in the tread cannot (or should not) be patched if it is over ¼ inch in diameter. The roofing nail was not larger than that.
I sent my wife to G&R for two reasons:
1) I trust them if they say the tire cannot be fixed
2) I trust them to fix it right if they feel that it CAN be fixed (which I was knew it could)
This experience was even better than before! My wife had our 10-​year old grandson with her who LOVES to work with me on all tasks and learn about them. He is very inquisitive. At G&R, the store was not busy when my wife arrived, so they offered to show my grandson the process of fixing a tire. They explained every step of the process as he watched from a safe distance. He was thrilled!
The people at G&R are truly special. As a small local business, their reputation is their key to success given the enormous draw of the huge chain stores. G&R employees care about the work they do. They even seem to genuinely care about each customer. They made my wife and grandson feel very special today.
I wasn’t even at G&R today and they made my life easier! Rather than put the repaired tire into the back of our van they way they received it, they removed the temporary donut, installed the repaired tire, then put the temporary donut back in it’s difficult location that is cranked up under my wife’s Sienna van. I was not looking forward to doing that because it’s a royal PITA. Now I don’t have to!
To cap all that off, they only charged a small pittance of a fee. It was so little that my wife paid them double and said to share it with the crew. Even at that, it was silly cheap.
G&R is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me! Please support G&R. Don’t let the big monster chain-​stores (and their less than honest employees) take over the world!

Support the little guy! Fast, friendly service and competitive prices. Clean facility. My new place to get tires.
