The commercial store in a state of mixed ones

Arkansas has four Purcell locations and this is the only one set up purely for commercial work. The other three handle cars as well.

What that buys a commercial customer is focus. A store that is not splitting its day between oil changes and truck tires is a store whose bays, stock and people are pointed at working vehicles. What it costs a driver is that brakes, oil changes, A/C and engine work are not available here, and go to Mabelvale instead.

Hours are a little different too: open at 7:30 AM, closed at 4:30 PM, the earliest close of the four Arkansas stores.

Retreading

Hot Springs collects casings for Purcell's retreading program. The retreading itself is done at a Purcell plant, the nearest being Potosi, Missouri.

For a fleet, the saving is in the casing rather than the tread, and the habit that protects it is stopping a unit when a tire fails rather than running it in. See retreading.

Who this store serves

Roadside assistance and fleet services alongside OTR services, with every tire category in stock, describes a store working for businesses rather than drivers: freight, construction, aggregate and utility operations around central and southwest Arkansas, plus the trailers and pickups that go with them.

It does not run mining fleet services, which the other three Arkansas stores do. For a managed program, Mabelvale is the nearest.

What to have ready when you call

For a tire: the size exactly as it reads on the sidewall, and the machine or unit it is going on.
For a breakdown: where the unit is, the tire size and position, whether it is loaded, and a number that stays reachable.
For off-highway work: the machine by make and model, the surface it works on, and what is failing.
For an account: how many units you run, where they run, and who authorizes work.
