Running a successful, full-service
tire and automotive repair center is no small
challenge for a family-owned business competing
against larger, national chains. However, Hay Tire Pros
is winning that battle.
Opened in 1981, the locally-owned business approaches
its relationship with its customers
on a personal level.
“Our customers are multigenerational. We take care of
the customer from a long-term perspective,” said David
Hay, president of Hay Tire Pros.
He pointed out that preventive maintenance is impor-
tant to the safety of his customers.
“It’s critically important to maintain proper tire
inflation,” he said. “We install nitrogen at no charge in
all tires that we sell. Nitrogen molecules don’t migrate
through the inner liner of tires as quickly as traditional
air molecules do. This means the proper inflation is
retained for much longer, which allows for greater fuel
economy and longer tire life. This concept has been used
by the likes of NASA and NASCAR.”
He added that it is crucial for drivers to take care of their
vehicles, even during economically sluggish times.
“By performing complete automotive service for all makes
of vehicles, we can take care of the entire family fleet,” Hay
noted, adding that his company offers courtesy shuttles so
customers don’t have to wait while their car is being serviced.
He believes personal service makes a difference.
“We know it’s tough out there economically; that’s why
we offer our customers more than they expect. Each customer
– no matter what they purchase, big or small – will receive
free nationwide roadside assistance for 12 months. And
because Tire Pros is a nationwide network of independent
tire dealers, their warranties and free roadside assistance are
honored throughout the country. Now that’s peace of mind.”
