Toby’s Tire is the best tire shop in town! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. He knows what he’s doing. As a matter of fact, I went to a couple other tire shops over the weekend, when I had a nail in my tire and one shop couldn’t get my tire off and the other wanted to replace all my lug nuts to get one tire…

As a matter of fact, I went to a couple other tire shops over the weekend, when I had a nail in my tire and one shop couldn’t get my tire off and the other wanted to replace all my lug nuts to get one tire off. I said forget it, I’ll wait til Tobys opens on Monday. In and out in 20 mins. No BS
