Hello, I am considering changing my business name as within past 6 months we have converted into mainly a truck and jeep lift kit, tire and wheel, and select auto repair and also accessories. My name currently is Defiance tie and auto. Defiance is the location. I want something more geared towards our unique specialties ( I think) so I can market this and grow. This is simply the best profit maker and general awesome thing we love to do. Before we were working on old vehicles for pennies and now we charge premium rates for most services. Any idea on names, experiences will be appreciated. Website is www.defiancetire.com and been in business 4 years

Source for chinese tires
defiancetire replied to defiancetire's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Having trouble opening those attached -
Hello all, I dont post much but just curious if anyone out there is buying wholesale chinese tires and where they are getting them from, customer service etc.. I am currently getting out of the used tire business (Too many comebacks a month later for leaks or junk) so i am looking to purchase low end tires to fulfill the need for the bottom feeders that are looking for used tires. If anyone has any leads that is greatly appreciated.

My buy price on a mastercraft mc440 size 225/60/16 is 54.00 the same size in Westlake brand is 49.00 it just doesn't make since for me to sell a Chinese tire that's only 5.00 cheaper
-
I have been approached by the westlake/Nanyang but they are only a few bucks cheaper then my Mastercraft line so I didn't see the point. The original poster said numbers that made my head spin. Would love to purchase tires that cheap.

If I may ask, where did you find the china made tires at? I have a lot of customers interested in those and I do not have a source

With a check hold system, You pretty much get all your money right there, you just stretch it out over a few months instead of one lump sum. -

I see I was just curious because about 40 percent of my business is used tire sales. I buy them by the truck load. -

What program are you set up with?

Acctually I have a nice little surplus of those! I use LKQ often, and my rep knows im a tire shop so he always lets me get those before someone else does. They are very popular! Along with 225/50/16 for the grand ams!

Car cut off limit. How far do you go?
defiancetire replied to defiancetire's topic in Workflow, Procedures, Shop Forms
I dont have the time either, I am a one man shop. I will spend two weeks on a engine job. =everyone pissed. -
Hello, I was wondering if there was any other shops that have a cutoff limit to repairs they will do? I specialize in undercar, Tires both new and Used, Driveability....With that being said. Ive done two engines this month, Diagnosing transmission issues..I cant say no! How do you say no to work when they are loyal customers?
