Built around its tire business, Lakewood Tire & Service is a full-service repair shop that can handle anything you can do to a car, said manager Thomas Kero, who runs the store with his dad, Rick. The six-bay shop can handle tune-ups, oil changes, clutch and brake work, as well as the usual tire-related services — wheel balancing, front-end alignment, strut and c.v. joint replacement.
The store also carries several lines of performance exhaust systems and custom American Eagle wheels. It was formerly known as Lakewood Tire Factory, and the imposing 50's-style building has held a one-of-a-kind tire store for many years. The Keros, who live in Lacey, bought the business in 2003.
