We've got a small tire shop like that. Their prices are about the same as other tire stores, but their level of service means they always have a waiting list and a full waiting room.
They do not make reservations, it's first come first serve. They do everything from lawn mower tires to 36" tractor tires when brought into the shop.

One down the street from me like that too. Kress tire. Tractor tires, car, truck tires and even lawn mower ones and quads. Walk in and walk out an hour later with your tires replaced. Less expensive and just better overall experience.
theres another station, they dont want to do anything , went in one day with a propane cylinder to fill gal at front said they were too busy , i said theres two guys back there doing nothing lol i blew up havent been there since

Most tire shops have closed around here, really have to hunt if you have an ag tire that needs repair or even replaced. Reason I have a HF manual tire changer, works great for the small wheels like ATV and lawn mower tires.

Only one tire shop around here now and I won't go there anymore. Bought tires for the car there a couple of years ago and took it in last month for their "Free tire rotation". Having a suspicious nature, I put chalk marks on the inside of the tires. Sure enough, when I got the car back, the tires hadn't been touched. The tires obviously needed rotating, so I did it myself.
that sucks , but not surprised these days

We have one old hole in the wall tire shop that is a great value for all tire repair and offers mobile tire repair and install for AG equipment and cars alike.
