Our story
Shortly after immigrating to the United States from Puebla, Mexico, our dad (Felipe) moved the family of six to a small duplex in Ceres. Needing a more steady stream of income, he secured a job at a tire shop across the street from his home, even without any prior experience. Starting as a shop assistant at McCoy's Industrial Tire (then Real McCoy) he quickly learned everything he could about industrial and commercial tire installation and retreading. A few years later he accepted an offer to work at the larger McCoy's Truck Tire shop in Modesto. He continued to learn and work until he decided to open his own shop in 2006. He brought Luis along to join in the venture and together they began offering tire sales, road service and automotive repair for the people of Ceres and the Central Valley.
Our values
Around here family always comes first. Treating our customers like family, means ensuring that their vehicles are safe for use on the road, providing friendly service, providing accurate and consistent pricing and reducing vehicle downtime.
Our history
Opened on November first, 2006 we have strived to provide unparalleled customer service, quick turn around and competitive pricing for our customers. The first years were rough especially during the great recession of 2008, but the hard work and dedication, we have been able to keep our doors open. Over the years, we have slowly expanded our inventory and services to better meet our customer's needs. In 2015 Chris joined the company full time since we have been able to expand our roadside assistance, operating three service trucks. Since then we have done work not only for the local customers but also for large national corporations such as U-haul, Penske, Ryder, Michelin and many others. We are excited for the future of our business and we are forever grateful for everyone who has supported us over the years!
