Purcell Tire & Service in Springdale, AR

The Purcell store at 359 E. Robinson Ave, Suite A in Springdale runs eighteen services, the longest list in Arkansas, and is the only location in the state offering mobile service: planned tire work at your yard or site rather than at the store.

The one Arkansas store that comes to you

Mobile service in Springdale is the service that sets this location apart. Seven Purcell locations in the country offer it, and this is the only one in Arkansas.

It is worth being precise about what it is, because it gets confused with roadside assistance constantly:

  • Mobile service is planned. Tires changed at your yard, depot or site, at a time you chose, usually across several units in one visit.
  • Roadside assistance is unplanned. A unit has stopped and a technician comes to it.

For an operation with a yard full of trailers, the first one removes a run of trips to the store. Springdale offers both.

Setting up a mobile visit

Call the store and have this ready:

  • How many units, and what they are.
  • Where they are, and what access looks like for a service vehicle.
  • What needs doing: fitting, rotation, inspection or a planned changeover.
  • When your window is, and how firm it is.
  • Any site safety or induction requirements.

The more units in one visit, the more sense it makes for both sides, which is why it suits a scheduled program rather than a single vehicle.

Tires and retreading

All nine Purcell tire categories are carried. Casings are collected here and retreaded at a Purcell plant, the nearest being Potosi, Missouri; no retreading is done on site. Fleets running a scheduled program usually build casing collection into the same visits that handle the tire work. See retreading.

Who uses this store

Northwest Arkansas runs on distribution and freight, and the service list here follows it. Mobile service and a full fleet offering describe a store expecting yards and depots rather than walk-in traffic, and mining fleet services and OTR work put the construction and aggregate side alongside.

The consumer half is not an afterthought. The same store handles the drivers who work for all of that, which is the practical reason it carries the longest service list in the state.

Yes. Springdale is the Arkansas location offering mobile service, which is planned tire work at your site. Tell them how many units, where they are and when your window is.
