About Nothing But Tires – Evolution To A Tire Shop

From the very beginning, it’s always been about providing inexpensive used tires in a market flooded by high-priced tires. That’s how Nothing But Tires started. I was making sales from my home, right out of my shed. With time we became a full fledged tire shop!

As my customer base grew, so did my inventory. Soon I had 500 tires! I started meeting customers at gas stations to make sales. Driving around was a lot of extra legwork, but it was a good solution at the time.

About Nothing But Tires – A Tire Shop Evolution

As the business grew and the stock increased, an idea was born. Why not just open a store that strictly sold tires.

Focus On Sourcing an Selling Tires Only

No installs. No balancing. No mechanical work.

Just selling great used tires at affordable prices. With short store hours and limited expenses (no shop equipment or mechanics needed), the idea worked financially.

We announced two major changes to our business. First of all, we expanded to being open full time hours, 7 days a week. Secondly, we were able to offer tire installations for the price of $20/tire for everyone who purchased tires through us, regardless of tire size. Even a full set of 20-inch tires would cost $80+GST for an installation. No other place in town offered installations for that price!

Armed with a new website and increased inventory, we are ready to take the world by storm. We are now offering new tires from a large wholesale purchase, as well as through our local distributor.

Feel free to stop in and check out our tires!

Moved To A New Tire Shop Facility

We moved to a new location and had a grand re-opening October 1/17. There was free food and the unveiling of our brand new store with over 11,000 ft2 ready to be filled with a drastically larger inventory.

New Tire Warranty

We have moved our warranty up to 30 days for any defects that may arise. We have always taken care of our customers after our 7 day warranty process so this isn’t a massive change however it’s always nice to have it in black and white.

Extended Tire Warranty

Also we are pleased to announce that we are now offering a 90 Day extended warranty for an additional $20 per up to 4 tires purchased. It’s always nice having that extra peace of mind that if anything happens.

For any products over $200 put it on layaway and pay it off over a 6 week period.

• 10% service fee attached to product (Minimum $50)
• First deposit – 25% of purchase total
• 2 weeks from date of purchase – 25% of purchase total
• 4 weeks from date of purchase – 25% of purchase total
• 6 weeks from date of purchase – remaining amount

We understand that tires are a need and not a want however there is a need for customers who cannot afford their tires up front to pay it off slowly.

Please understand that any late payments results in forfeiture of all funds. We are a small business and have to be strict on this process.

Additional Features / Benefits :

• If your tires are paid off in the first 15 days of starting the layaway plan the 10% service fee will be rescinded from the invoice total.
• We hold tires for up to the 15 days with no fees attached as a way to show our customers how much we appreciate their business. We have done this process for a very long time and will continue to do it with no mention of a layaway plan or extra fees. That being said if such remaining payment is not made within 15 days the invoice will automatically become a layaway plan and the 10% service fee will be added.

About – 2019 was an amazing year!

We hired on more great people to help us out. We now have a total of 5 people doing sales to help better serve you as well as a couple others in the back that can come up front for support.

Increase In Tire Selection / Inventory

We have also increased our inventory staff 2X! From 1 to 2. HA! There was a time when it was just me (the owner) in the back sorting through tires and it wasn’t even enough tires to keep me busy full time. We would bring in around 100 tires a week and that was more than enough for the store size and customers we had. We now process thousands of tires a month and 2 guys are definitely needed.

Upgraded Our Online Presence

Also upgraded our website this year. A much more fresh feeling along with more user friendly. It doesn’t stop there, we are updating it again as soon as possible for a dealership portal as well as for online sales. It is going to be quite a robust system when it’s complete.

The technology behind what we do has been increasing as well. We can now picture & location our tires to our inventory straight from our phones! Pretty slick! We are also currently working on a system that scans the tires to gain detailed information such as tread depth, size, brand, & model automatically with little to no room for errors.

Tire Facility Expansion

Another great success is we have increased our store by another 6000 square feet! We also have to store thousands of single tires at another companies warehouse to be able to stock them all. Also we plan on taking over another 6000 ft2 in 2020.

Needless to say it has been quite an amazing year for 2019. Looking forward to what 2020 has to come!

About - Nothing But Tire's Growth In 2020

There is no doubt 2020 was a challenge for everyone and we were no exception.

We had plans on opening a second location in Calgary that we had to be put off for now.

Thank You For A Great 2020

We got through the year and thanks to our customers we actually had a very good one. We loved the outpour of support we received from our customers. So many people came through the door during the pandemic to support us. While we did adhere to all safety and distancing guidelines it was still a challenge to balance.

Our hearts go out to all those affected or that have lost loved ones due to Covid-19.

Thank you everyone for supporting us!

About Our Growth In Tire Inventory and New Tire Facility

Things are starting to look up for the world. As cases of Covid-19 go down and vaccination rates go up things are starting to return to normal.

In the meantime we have made changes throughout the year to grow our inventory as well as our sales system for our customers.

New Facility

We moved our processing into a facility that is over 15,000 ft2 so we could expand how many tires we bring in and process. This has also allowed us to hire on more staff to accommodate for the increase in workload.

New Website to Serve You Better

We have also updated our website again! Now our customers can purchase online from our inventory of over 10,000 tires in stock. With pictures and prices up to date by the second our customers can now add their item to a cart and have their tires delivered direct to door or depot nearby. This is a great step forward towards helping more Albertans save some money and purchase with confidence.

Thank you everyone for supporting us!

Sometimes no news is good news 🙂

It has really been a head down work hard kind of year. With the new store in Calgary we have also reached out and started purchasing some suppliers all over the world. Believe it or not it's not an easy task to find good used tires. heh

We have been working really hard this year and will have some new exciting news coming into 2024.

Thank you to everyone that has supported us and continues to do so.

NBT Team!
