Purcell Tire & Service in Ogden, UT

The Purcell store at 184 West 12th St in Ogden runs eleven services, performs state inspections, offers mobile service, and stays open until 5:30 PM. All nine tire categories are carried.

What this store does, and what it does not

Worth being precise about, because the service list here is narrower than at most commercial and consumer stores.

It does: 24-hour roadside assistance, mobile service, fleet services, heavy-duty truck alignment, trailer alignment, car and light truck alignment, suspension repair, tire and wheel balancing, wheel refurbishing, retreading and state inspections.

It does not: brake repair, oil changes, A/C service, cooling system work, engine repair or scheduled maintenance. For those, Orem and the Salt Lake City commercial and consumer store are the nearest Purcell locations.

That shapes what to come here for: tires, alignment, suspension, inspections, and anything to do with a working fleet.

Mobile service in northern Utah

Ogden is the Utah location offering mobile service, and one of seven in the country.

It is planned work at your yard or site, which is a different thing from roadside assistance: tires changed across several units in a window you chose, rather than a technician sent to a unit that has already stopped. Ogden offers both, so the question is simply whether you picked the time or the tire did.

What the store needs in order to quote a visit is the shape of the job: how many units, what they are, where they sit, what access looks like for a service vehicle, and how firm your window is. Site induction rules are better mentioned up front than discovered on the day.

Inspections and the 5:30 close

Three Purcell locations in Utah perform state inspections, and this is the one that stays open latest.

Requirements are set by the state and change, so confirm the current rule when you book. Check the easy things first: every light, the wipers, the tires, the horn and mirrors, and any warning lamp on the dash. If something fails and it is a tire, alignment or suspension problem, it can be dealt with here. A brake or engine fault means a different store.

Wheels take the winter badly

Wheel refurbishing is on this store's list for a reason that becomes obvious after a few northern Utah winters. Road treatment attacks wheels, and the damage shows up where nobody can see it: at the bead seat, where the tire seals against the rim.

Corrosion there creates a slow leak that no amount of looking at the tire will explain. A fleet chasing pressure loss across a set of trailers is often chasing wheel condition rather than punctures.

Refurbishing strips the corrosion and the old coating and returns the wheel to service, usually for a fraction of a replacement. A wheel that is cracked or badly bent is a different matter and gets replaced, and the store will tell you which one you have.

Questions

Questions about the Ogden store

Can I get an oil change or brake work here?

No. Ogden does not offer brake repair, oil changes, A/C, cooling system work, engine repair or scheduled maintenance. It does offer alignment, suspension repair, tires and inspections. For the rest, use Orem or Salt Lake City.

Can Purcell come to our yard?

Yes. Ogden is the Utah location offering mobile service, for planned tire work at your site.

What are the hours?

Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, the latest close of any Utah Purcell location. 24-hour roadside assistance covers commercial units outside those hours.

Can I get a state inspection here?

Yes. Ogden is one of three Purcell locations in Utah performing them, with Orem and Salt Lake City.

My alignment will not hold. Why?

Usually worn suspension components letting the geometry move under load. Suspension repair is offered here, and the worn parts have to be replaced before an alignment will stay put.
