Caney sits on US-75 at the Oklahoma line, about 18 miles south of our shop in Independence. For Caney drivers who log daily highway miles, we provide the tires, alignments and brake service that keep every commute safe and dependable.
Caney is a crossroads: US-75 runs north to Independence and south into Oklahoma toward Bartlesville, and US-166 runs east to Coffeyville and west toward Sedan. A lot of Caney drivers commute in one direction or the other every day. Highway miles have their own maintenance needs:
Even tread wear. At highway speed, a small alignment error turns into worn tire edges quickly. A yearly alignment pays for itself.
Balance. A wheel out of balance you'd never notice in town shows up as a shake at 65 mph. Rotation and balancing
The right tire. A highway all-season with a long tread-life warranty usually makes sense for a commuter car. Pickups that also see gravel may want an all-terrain. New tires
Brakes and fluids on schedule, so nothing surprises you 20 miles from home.
Coverage that crosses the state line
Our optional Nationwide Limited Road Hazard Plan travels with you. If you pick up a nail on US-75 in Oklahoma, on the way to Tulsa, or on a trip farther away, participating shops nationwide honor the plan. See the full plan. That matters when your daily drive crosses a border.
Flat on the way to work?
If you can make it to Independence on the spare, we can usually fix the flat the same day. Call 620-331-3730 first so we can tell you what the wait looks like. Here's a SureCritic reviewer on a slow leak:

Concern for customer
There was a slow leak in my tire. I needed to drive to Wichita the next day and Tony was concerned about my safety so he put on a loaner tire until the replacement tire came in.

What to do if a tire goes flat on US-75
Get fully off the road. A wide shoulder or a side road is worth driving slowly on a flat to reach. Highway traffic is the real danger.
Turn on your hazards and set the parking brake before you get out.
Put on the spare only if you're well clear of traffic. Otherwise call for help.
Keep the speed down on a compact spare, usually 50 mph or less, and come see us so we can repair or replace the tire before the spare wears out.
