A Trip Down the Memory Lane
1975

Then called Wootton Tire, their services mainly focused on dealing with tires—replacement, repair, and/or maintenance of agricultural tires, tractor tires, and implement tires.
1982
The couple decided to officially change the company’s name from Wooton Tire to The Tire Shop (Olds) Ltd.
