Purcell Tire & Service in Kingman, AZ

Six services, built around vehicles and equipment that work:

• 24-Hour Roadside Assistance in Kingman, AZ, for a unit stopped on I-40 or anywhere else.
• Fleet Services in Kingman, AZ, for businesses running several vehicles.
• OTR Services in Kingman, AZ, for off-highway equipment.
• Retreading in Kingman, AZ, through the Purcell program.
• Tire & Wheel Balancing in Kingman, AZ.
• Wheel Refurbishing in Kingman, AZ.

There is no general vehicle repair here. Brakes, oil changes, A/C and engine work are handled at Purcell's commercial and consumer stores, the nearest of which is Phoenix.

Kingman works with Purcell's retreading program rather than retreading on site. Casings are collected here and retreaded at the Phoenix retread plant, then returned ready to run.

For a fleet running long distances with few stops, that matters more than it sounds: a casing is worth protecting, and the thing that most often destroys one is running a tire flat rather than stopping. See retreading.

The combination of roadside assistance, fleet services and OTR services, with every tire category in stock, describes a store covering a wide area with mixed work: freight on I-40, construction and utility equipment, and the pickups and trailers that go with both. Nothing in the list points at car repair, and the store does not pretend otherwise.

Carrying all nine categories does not mean carrying every size, and northwest Arizona is a long way from the next Purcell shelf. For anything unusual, a call before you need it is the difference between a planned change and a stopped machine.

Worth confirming in advance:

• Sizes you depend on and cannot easily substitute.
• Anything for equipment that is seasonal, where you know roughly when the demand is coming.
• Quantities for a planned changeover across several units.

The store can tell you what is in stock, what it can get and how long that takes, which is a more useful answer than a catalog.
