Tire Shop & Auto Repair for Parsons, KS
Parsons is about 25 miles from our shop in Independence, and Parsons drivers make the trip for service where equipment and expertise matter most: Hunter alignments, farm and heavy-duty tires, and dealership-quality repair without the dealership. Call ahead and we'll have everything ready when you arrive.
When is the drive from Parsons worth it?
Not every job calls for a 25-mile drive. These are the ones where our equipment and expertise make it worthwhile:
- Alignments. Our Hunter alignment machine measures all four wheels against your vehicle's factory spec. If your tires are wearing on one edge, a proper alignment saves you a set of tires.
- Farm and equipment tires. Tractors, implements and skid steers take equipment many tire counters don't have. See farm tires.
- A shop that does tires and repairs together. One trip covers new tires, an alignment and the brake job, instead of three stops.
- Lifted trucks and heavy pickups that need careful balancing and front-end work.
Make the trip count: what to have ready when you call
- Your tire size, printed on the sidewall (for example, LT275/65R18)
- Year, make and model, and the engine if it's a repair
- What you're noticing: pulling, noise, a warning light, how long it's been going on
- When you can drop it off and when you need it back
Call 620-331-3730 or request an appointment, and we'll confirm a time so you aren't waiting when you arrive.
Parsons and Labette County
Parsons is the biggest town in Labette County, home to Labette Community College and Lake Parsons northwest of town. US-400 and US-59 meet there, so many Parsons drivers put serious highway miles on their tires. The rest of the county is small towns and farm ground: Oswego, Chetopa, Altamont, Mound Valley, Edna, Dennis and Bartlett. We serve all of them.
Highway miles and tire wear
Steady highway driving is easier on tires than town driving, as long as the alignment and pressures are right. When they're not, highway miles show it fast as edge wear. If you drive US-400 daily, a yearly alignment check and a rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles will get the most life out of your tires.
