Flynn’s Tire Group hosted a grand opening celebration of its location in Montrose, Ohio, this week with facility tours, a food truck and freebies. Joe Flynn III, president, and James Flynn, vice president, celebrated the grand opening with the location’s employees.

At the new Montrose location, customers can expect to find over 20 tire brands, including Goodyear, Cooper, Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelin, BFGoodrich, Yokohama. and Hankook. The location also provides a wide range of automotive services, including brakes, wheel alignments, Valvoline oil changes and more. In addition, it features seven bays with four Rotary lifts and Hunter Engineering tire changers and wheel balancers. It also houses an alignment bay with Hunter equipment. James Flynn said the location can also house up to 1,200 tires in inventory.

Since 1964, Flynn’s Tire Group has been a family-owned and operated business based in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, the company said. In addition to the retail stores, Flynn’s Tire Group operates three commercial sales and service locations as well as four wholesale distribution warehouses. Flynn’s Tire is among the 40 largest independent retail dealerships in the U.S. and plans to continue their expansion in upcoming years.

Flynn’s also offers three guarantees to assure that all customers are satisfied with their new tires: the lowest price guarantee, 100% satisfaction guarantee and the entire price guarantee.
