Following 10+ years as a mechanic, which includes some time doing the same for UPS, Justin Deems decided he wanted to start his own business providing a service in an area where it is obviously needed- a tire and mechanical repair shop in Hume, Mo.
And despite any adversity, he's proud to say that things are going well because "hard work and happy customers always pays off" as he can attest.
Just outside his shop on the Hume square, a line of vehicles awaiting repair serves as a reminder that he picked the right business at the right time. in the right place. "Seems like I work seven days a week sometimes" he chuckled "but the community has been incredibly supportive" as sales have allowed him to increase his inventory as well as purchase some very important equipment that not only saves time, but gives him an advantage over some local competitors.
One such item would be a machine that is capable of balancing over sized tires for 'big boy toys' that utilize 37 inch tires on 22 inch rims, for example- according to Deems, these sizes can present challenges but he's got it covered for patrons who need to balance large tires.
Besides having a growing inventory of the most common tire sizes and providing all types of tire related services, there is much more offered at Deems Tire & Service, including brake work, tune ups, drivetrain repair, electrical repair and most anything automotive related.
"We'll be adding even more soon" said Deems "Other on-demand items such as batteries, washer fluid, wiper blades and more" will be available in the facility that currently consumes two side-by-side buildings on the west side of the square.
