Purcell Tire & Service in Boise, ID: Commercial & Consumer

The Purcell store at 8718 S. Eisenman Rd runs sixteen services, the longest list in Idaho, and is the only location in the state offering OTR services. The Purcell retread plant sits on the same road.

The base for off-highway work in Idaho

Of the five Purcell listings in Idaho, this is the one offering OTR services. Fitting, change-outs and repairs on the tires under loaders, haul trucks and graders happen here and nowhere else in the state.

That matters for construction, aggregate and agricultural operations running heavy machines: the nearest alternative is across a state line. It also explains the rest of the list. A store expecting that equipment carries all nine tire categories and offers wheel refurbishing, which on wheels that size is a fraction of replacement.

The plant down the road

The Purcell retread plant at 8670 S. Eisenman Rd is a separate location on the same road, on (208) 336-7877. It retreads and repairs casings and sells no tires.

Casings collected at this store go there and come back ready to run. You deal with the store; the casings make the short trip without you arranging anything. For a fleet, having the plant this close shortens the loop between pulling a casing and getting a retread back. See retreading.

Three kinds of work in one valley

The Boise area puts construction equipment, farm machinery and highway freight within reach of the same store, and the service list is built to take all three.

For construction and aggregate, it is OTR work and wheel refurbishing. For farms, it is agricultural tires and tracks alongside the commercial range. For freight, it is roadside assistance, alignment and the retread program.

The useful consequence for a business that is more than one of those things, and many are, is that the whole yard is handled from one account rather than three.

Booking around the work

Two things are worth knowing when you call. Alignment belongs before new tires go on rather than after, so say if both are due. Anything involving a machine that has to be out of service, an OTR change-out or a set of tracks, is also easier to place when the store knows the date you are working to.
