Customers will be able to purchase Goodyear retread tires at the facility, as well as shop a full line of new Goodyear brand tires in the remodeled showroom. Tire inspection and repair services, as well as roadside service, will also be available at the retread center. In addition, numerous TA Truck Service facilities will have access to Goodyear brand retread tires produced at this plant.
