Renton, Washington
The Purcell commercial store at 316 SW 16th St in Renton handles trucks, trailers and fleet equipment at the south end of the Seattle area. Nine services, all nine tire categories, and 24-hour roadside assistance.
Renton sits in the industrial south end of the Seattle area, where freight, construction and service fleets work in heavy traffic. The store is built for those vehicles rather than for walk-in repair.
Nine services, no brakes, no oil changes, no engine work. The nearest Purcell store for those is Monroe, northeast of the metro.
What this store does instead is keep working vehicles working: tires in every category, alignment on everything from a pickup to a trailer, fleet accounts, and a roadside operation for units that stop.
Services
Metro delivery and service work puts a particular kind of wear on tires, and it does not look like highway wear.
Constant stopping and starting scrubs tread. Tight turns in yards and loading areas drag tires sideways. Curbs and construction plates knock alignment out, and the vehicle rarely tells the driver. What tells you is a tire worn on one edge, or a set that has lasted noticeably less than the last one.
All three alignment services are here, which is the useful combination for a mixed fleet: the tractor, the trailer behind it and the pickup that follows it around can all be corrected at one address.
A unit stopped in a metro area is a different problem from one stopped on an open highway. Access, lane closures and the time of day all matter, and the detail that helps most is precision about where the unit actually is: the road, the direction of travel, the nearest exit or cross street, and whether it is on a shoulder, in a yard or at a dock.
That plus the tire size and position is usually enough to get the right tire there on the first attempt.

Questions
Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed at weekends. 24-hour roadside assistance covers commercial units outside those hours.
Nothing in the service list: both run the same nine services and carry all nine tire categories. The choice is which is nearer to where your vehicles run.
Yes. Trailer alignment and heavy-duty truck alignment are both offered, and doing them together is the only reliable way to find which one is wearing the tires.
Exactly where the unit is, including direction of travel and the nearest exit, the tire size and position, whether it is loaded, and a number that stays reachable.
