The place that keeps you going, Treads and Care that's where!

At long last, the new location of Treads and Care Tire Company on Coursey opened in September. Jade and I joke that I had my baby in August, and he had his in September. Miles Holley, the owner, and his wife, Melissa, worked hard to open the new store. Jade and the guys needed some breathing room, and boy did they get it!

 

At the old store, the parking lot would be full of cars, and the guys would have to fix cars in the parking lot because there wasn't room in the bays. Now, they've got this!

 
It may look like just a shop to you, but this is the Mac Daddy of all shops. It's more than twice the size of the old shop, and so bright it's like daylight in there. I told the guys they should be really good now that they don't have to use "The Force" to see to fix the cars.

Nice rack! Treads has a lot of tires. They can get any tire for you AND you can get a Road Hazard plan which covers free repairs for the life of the tire and pro-rated replacements. At 10% of the cost of the tire, it's a good value. Also, if you go in there, ask them about buying a Lifetime Oil Change. Speaking of that, that would be a GREAT Christmas gift to give to someone. They have gift cards!

 

What I like even more are the complimentary fountain drink and cappucino machines. The bathrooms are nice! My lovely daughter, Claire, helps keep them clean. Treads also has great magazines, Wi-fi, and a pleasant waiting area. It's a lot like a coffee shop in there.

  
Here's a picture of the waiting area. (Keep in mind there's not usually a spread of food in the waiting area. That was for the grand opening.)

 
Speaking of grand openings, the kids really enjoyed it:

 
One of the local radio stations, WYNK, came out and gave prizes away. It was great!

 
Congratulations, Miles, Jade, and guys! You worked hard to make this place happen. Keep up the good work!

I finally got to see the new place the day we were driving to the NOLA airport -- it was FINE. It was nicer than CC's! I would work on my dissertation there any day. Heck, free coffee and the best restrooms around. Maybe I could get our stroller tires rotated too!

Is Jade praying or twiddling his thumbs?
