In 1953, a group of independent tire shops came together to serve clients with a selection of auto services. Since that time, OK Tire has grown into one of the largest independent tire and auto service retailers with over 300 locations. In addition to small- and large-scale maintenance and repairs of engines, exhausts, and air-conditioning systems, its skilled techs perform oil changes and refit cars’ ever-growing ankles with tires from brands such as Bridgestone and Firestone. They also tackle cosmetic blemishes such as cracked or chipped windshields, restoring visibility to drivers and their GPS-equipped kids shouting directions from the backseat.
