Thank you for coming out today and providing
your tire service. You're definitely
everything my friend said you would be and
more. I can see why he gave you such
reviews. Your professional character and
friendly demeanor is greatly appreciated in
a business where that personal touch seems
to be lost. Again thanks for the help and I
look forward to doing business with
you again.
Thanks Jason!

I have been telling you all about my
personal pit crew for some years now. Pit
Crew Tires is owned and operated by Craig
Knarich. He is a full time fireman, so his
on 24 off 48 work schedule lends itself to
this mobile business perfectly. He is
competitive on pricing, he can get any
tire you want, the work is always done
right, your tires are Nitrogen filled,
road force balanced and he comes to your
door. His phone number is (727) 784-3951
or
web = pitcrewtire.com
or by email .
Below is
a short documentation of the onsite
installation of my new BF Goodrich KDW 225
- 45 x 16's:
 This
war wagon is self contained and everthing
is always state of the art, from the
Nitrogen
generator to the road force tire
balancer and down to the little stuff like
the valve stem seal torque wrench.
Craig is
removing my old 205 -45 x 16's. The new
tires are over his right shoulder.
The road
force balancer in action.
The road
force balancer initial spin shows the
imbalance and where it's located.
Craig
uses stick-on weights behind the spokes
(read: not visible and no rim damage).
Perfect balance is done.
The red
rocket has new shoes! They have better
grip than a door to door insurance
salesman.
Take
care.........................Mark
Thanks Mark!
Amy in FL emails:
It is 1:30
in the afternoon and I am sitting in the
waiting "lounge" at the local Quick
Lube. Car racing is on TV, the smell of
oil is wafting in the door and the best
thing I can find to read is a Parenting
magazine from six months ago. I find
myself thinking about Craig of Pit Crew
Tire Service and how Craig goes to his
Customers, not the other way around.
I live in Ocala and recently purchased a
fairly expensive new SUV. To my
surprise, as I drove my new "dream car"
I became more and more dissatisfied with
the way it handled on the highway. It
felt light, which it certainly isn't,
and seemed to have a floating feel that
didn't give me much confidence. I never
felt like I had solid contact on the
road. We took the car back to the dealer
to check the alignment, which did turn
out to be a bit off, but even after that
the handling just wasn't what I had
expected. Finally, my husband and I
thought perhaps better tires might be
needed.
Coincidentally, my Dad noticed a nail in
one of the tires on his car.
Having previously dealt with Craig at
Pit Crew, he gave him a call. My Dad
told Craig that he had never been all
that happy with the tires on his car and
said that perhaps he could recommend a
better handling replacement. After a
quick inspection of my father's tires
Craig explained to him that the tires on
his car were great tires and that all
they needed, after removing the nail,
was to be properly balanced and filled
with Nitrogen. Nitrogen?
My Dad gave it a try and was so amazed
by the improvement in his car's handling
he called Craig and told him about my
dilemma.
Shortly thereafter, my Dad called to
tell me about what Craig had said about
the tires on my SUV. He proceeded to
tell me all about Craig who came to his
office and serviced his tires right
there in the parking lot. He was so
excited about how his car felt he
insisted that I come down to visit him
in Clearwater so that I could have Craig
take a look at my tires before I spent a
fortune on new ones.
Honestly I was a little skeptical and
had been planning on just buying new
tires. However, over the years, I have
learned that listening to my Dad is
occasionally a good idea. Additionally,
he's quite fanatic about his cars. I
knew that this guy must be good if my
Dad was happy. Certainly I had never
heard of filling tires with nitrogen but
it was explained to me that "Nitrogen is
a superior tire inflatant because it
migrates through tire rubber 30-40
percent slower than air. When tires are
properly inflated they maintain the
correct footprint on the road, reducing
"squirm" and decreasing tire wear.
Nitrogen further extends tire life
because it is a clean, moisture- free
gas which significantly reduces internal
tire oxidation and wheel corrosion
caused by wet and oily compressed air.
Nitrogen is already used in IRL, NASCAR,
Military Aircraft and Space Shuttle
tires because it is the safest, best
possible tire gas. Tires inflated with
Nitrogen run between 10 and 15 percent
cooler. Cooler running tires, with
constant pressure, are not only longer
lasting but feel remarkably different on
the road."
Pit Crew tire has it own Nitrogen
generator which creates Nitrogen on
demand and stores it in an on-board 80
gallon storage tank. Along with the
Nitrogen generator Pit Crew also has a
GSP9700 Road Simulator which simulates a
road test and automatically recommends
corrections to the balance when needed.
After hearing all of this and listening
to my Dad go on and on about how
much better his car felt I was convinced
that I had to meet the famous Craig from
Pit Crew Tire.
The Thursday before I drove down to
Tampa Craig called me and asked me to
put my tire pressure up to the maximum
PSI load. He explained that "when cars
are transported around the country, or
across oceans, the tire pressure is
reduced and the car is tied down on the
car carriers. When the cars arrive, the
tires are re-inflated and they are
parked in a lot where they wait to be
sold and delivered. Tires have memory
and that flat spot from being tied down
effects the feel of the tire". So I
pumped my tires up the max and drove
down to Tampa Friday night.
On Saturday morning I received a call
from Craig saying that he would be at my
father's house in 10 minutes and would I
please go out and drive the car until he
called me to come back. He wanted the
tires to be warm. I drove around the
neighborhood, staying close because I
was afraid I might get lost until Craig
called me on my cell to come home. When
I rounded the corner to my Dad's
driveway I was amazed at the big
impressive Pit Crew Tire truck sitting
in his driveway. I could see the
neighbors peering out of their windows
wondering what had entered the
neighborhood. I was barely out of the
car before Craig was sliding donut like
things under my car. He hooked them into
his air compressor and my big heavy SUV
was magically floating on four pillows
of air. He told me that he would be done
in about a half hour and I could go
inside and wait in the air conditioning.
I went inside for about 30 seconds and
decided that I was much too curious not
to watch this process! The next
half an hour was fascinating. Craig was
great. He invited me into his van to
watch as he balanced my tires. As he
worked he explained everything to me. I
now feel like I know more about tires
than I ever thought I cared to know. He
worked quickly but was meticulous about
every detail and made sure the tires
were absolutely perfect. I had given him
an explanation of my complaint and he
told me that it was not an uncommon
problem with my particular tires. He
said that I should feel and amazing
difference. As he drove away all I could
think was how nice it was to meet
someone who takes such pride in what
they do. Craig was friendly,
knowledgeable, professional and best of
all he came to me. I didn't have to go
sit in a smelly garage helplessly hoping
that they were fixing the problem.
After he left, my Dad and I jumped in my
car to take it for a test drive. It was
amazing! The car felt like a completely
different vehicle. It felt solid, stuck
to the road. It was smooth and easy to
drive. No more floating sensation or
vibrations.
I will never go anywhere else for tire
servicing. Craig was fantastic!! He even
called me that night to make sure that
everything was OK. If he had told me to
buy four new tires, I would have,
Instead, Craig insisted that we try to
"fix" these first instead of spending
money unnecessarily. When it comes to
quality product and service delivery, it
doesn't get any better than that!
Thanks Amy!

You have a customer for life.
Especially with the fact that I do not
have to leave my office/house for
repairs or new tire installation. Thank
you for always being so helpful.
Thanks Kandi!
