Jim Garno isn’t one to brag. In fact, he had no plans to nominate his business, Totten Tire Center in Birch Run, Mich., for the K&M Tire Top Shop Award program — until a customer heard about the contest and made the nomination.

In the close-knit community in central Michigan, Garno’s humble nature fits in well and likely is one of the reasons Totten Tire Center draws a loyal customer base and staffs its employees long-term. The single-location shop, which was founded in 1969 and currently performs a sales mix of 60% tires and 40% vehicle service, has always been able to draw the business it needs to keep busy, keep customers happy, and keep true to its roots.
