Gem City Tire Adds Full-Service Truck Tire Center

Gem City Tire’s new Sharonville, Ohio, store is a full-service truck tire and service location.

Dayton, Ohio-based Gem City Tire, one of the Midwest’s leading commercial truck tire dealerships, has opened its sixth location: a 30,000-sq.-ft., full-service truck tire center in Sharonville, Ohio, a northern suburb of Cincinnati.

Gem City’s Sharonville location is located near the intersection of Interstate 75 and Interstate 275. “This new center was built with the customer in mind, and provides a comprehensive range of services and amenities designed to keep trucks running efficiently and profitably,” says Jeff Lecklider, Gem City Tire’s founder and president.

In addition to offering Goodyear and Dunlop brand commercial truck tires, as well as retreaded tires that have been manufactured using The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.’s UniCircle and pre-cure processes, the store offers the following services:

• Department of Transportation and tractor/trailer inspections.
• Preventive maintenance services, including truck alignments and oil changes.
• Light mechanical services, such as brake replacements, electrical system repairs, and more.
• 10 GPS-equipped roadside service trucks that operate 24/7.
• Pickup and delivery services for trucks that need mechanical work.
• Wheel refinishing and powder coating.
• Two drive-through service bays.
• A contemporary customer lounge with flat-screen TVs and wireless Internet service.

Gem City Tire’s new location “underscores our commitment to serving the trucking industry with premium-quality products and the highest degree of service and professionalism,” Lecklider says.

In addition to its latest store, Gem City Tire has five other outlets. They are located in Dayton, Ohio; Somerset, Ky.; Champaign, Ill; and Columbus and Indianapolis, Ind. The company is a Goodyear authorized dealership.
