Be sure to read The Prowers Journal each week when the Lamar Chamber of Commerce and The Prowers Journal highlight a featured Business of the Week.
This week we are proud to spotlight Ace Tire Service, LLC, located at 32605 Speculator Circle, just North of the Arkansas River Bridge in Lamar
Ace Tire Service, LLC., began July 1, 2006. A dream of a Colorado native became the reality of two families brought together by great friendships. Jeff and Shauna Millspaugh and Dan and Janet Johnson partnered to start this family owned and locally operated business. ACE Tire Service began in the shop with John’s Truck Lube at 902 Main Street with John Young. With investments in a small service truck and some inventory, Jeff set out with a phone to his ear and rapport with customers and vendors to build our business to what it is today.
In September, 2006 our business had grown beyond its walls and we purchased and relocated to our present location at 32605 Speculator Circle, along with John’s Truck Lube. John Young has since retired. In November, 2006 we put in a top of the line alignment machine and continue to provide top quality 2 and 4 wheel alignments as well as truck alignments.
At ACE Tire Service takes pride on providing our customers with the best products and services at an affordable price and with great customer service. We will do what it takes to get the job done right. Our products and services include tires, new and used, for any and all vehicles, mobile service, alignments, shocks, struts, brakes, all suspension work and oil changes.
ACE Tire Service has the greatest employees and they work very hard to get our customer’s vehicles serviced and repaired. Our employees are very dedicated and are an asset to our company. Jr. Franz runs one of our mobile service trucks and is usually working in the field to get the farmer’s or customer’s equipment ready to roll. Vinny Jimenez, Mike Grahm, Reyes DuQue, Jimmy Bencomo and Justin Harmon are our experienced employees including Jim Atencio, is our shop mechanic.
Jeff, his wife Shauna and daughter Jessica, moved to the Eastern Plains from Loveland in 1995 and have lived in Wiley since 1998. Jeff has been around tires his whole life. He began working for his father’s tire business in Longmont in junior high and still works in the business to this day.
Dan and his wife Janet, along with their daughter Teri, also live in Wiley. Dan has been in the tire business since we started and brings a great wealth of knowledge and experience from his agriculture and mechanic background.
Agriculture and kids are a huge part of our community and ACE Tire Service is a huge supporter of the area FFA, 4-H and other community and school programs. We display some of the finest kids in the area on our “Wall of Fame” in the office and ACE Tire Service is proud to give back to those programs and kids and our communities.
We want to “Thank” our customers for their business. One of the many reasons we enjoy having our business is the people we meet and sharing their stories and experiences. They are not just customers, they are our friends and we appreciate their friendships. We enjoy it when you stop in to say “HI”. We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with quality hometown service. We look forward to continuing to serve the communities in which we live in.
If you need tires, mobile service, alignment, oil change or any of the other car care needs we provide, come in or call 719-336-0403 and we will get you fixed up. ACE Tire is your one stop tire and care shop!
