Inside Pit Crew Mobile
Tire Store.
Pit
Crew Mobile
Tire Store is different in many
ways.
Some believe we are different because we have
been exclusively mobile since 1991. In reality,
the difference is the passion we have for
providing the best service in the industry.
We are second to none!
Our equipment is first class because we believe
our customers are first class, too! At Pit Crew
Mobile Tire Store we believe we’ve set the
standard in the tire industry.
n
In 1991 we were the first mobile tire store to
provide our customers with spin-balanced tires
with the WB260 snap on spin-balancer. This was
unheard of in the tire industry. Other mobile
tire services were still using bubble-balancers.
(Most sophisticated service shops use a
spin-balancer that more accurately balances the
tire. A bubble-balancer depends on “a keen eye,”
or human nature to balance a tire.
The spin-balancer takes the human element
out of the process.)
n
In 1991 we also were the first to use a Mag
machine on a mobile basis. Back then the
industry standard was a Coats 4040 tire changer.
The Coats RC5AA Mag machine was an
exclusive all air- operated machine used by
Sears & Roebuck Co. in their auto service
centers.
n
In 1993 we upgraded our mode of transportation
to a 16-foot Chevy step van. We installed in our
truck the finest equipment in the industry,
exclusively using Hunter equipment such as the
TC3500 Tire Changer, and then we added the GSP
9700 Road Force Tire Balancer. This machine
previously was only found in high-end auto
dealerships.
n
In 2001 Pit Crew Mobile Tire Store went climbed
the technology ladder with a new mode of
transportation for the next generation of
equipment and a 16-foot box of technology
excellence. That came in the package of a
20,000-pound GVW Isuzu truck and the first
retail operation to be filling customers’ tires
with nitrogen. Nitrogen was not even thought of
in the US yet, but was being used in Europe on
cars that drove the German autobahns (high-speed
roadways). To that objective, we purchased an
industrial/hospital grade nitrogen generator
from Air Product, the world leader in nitrogen
generation.
This gave us the capability of creating
99.9% nitrogen for our customers. And what a
difference high purity nitrogen makes (Just ask
our customers).
n
Now outfitted with a new generation GSP 9712
Road Force Machine, in 2005 we added smart
weight technology software for a superior
balance before it was offered to the tire
industry. This software delivers a superior
balance by using static elimination or reducing
the amount of unneeded weight when balancing
your tires – a first in the tire industry!
n
With our new EVO series TC3500 tire changer – a
Motor Sports Package – we had an exclusive
add-on package not previously available to the
U.S. market.
So if you are now wondering how we get this
stuff before everyone else. Well, let’s just say
we have a passion to be the best, and to be the
best you have to have an inside source. So now
you know the inside scoop of Pit Crew Mobile
Tire Store.
P.S. And yes, I am still a professional paid
firefighter/engineer for a local fire dept.
