I blew a tire out near Christina Lake and had my spare put on by a very helpful gentleman from the Christina Lake Motel. Thank you, sir. Kindness can sometimes be scarce in the world of today. But at the OK Tire I visited for a new tire, the force is strong. Everyone in the shop was helpful and tremendously kind. Coady and his fellow workers found me a tire replacement and then went the extra mile to do a tire alignment, and to take some readings on my car's computer. All in all, a fine experience from well-trained men with kind hearts. The final bill was a bit high but worth it. read more

This is Abe's shop. Friends of my parental units and a local who cares about his community and friends. It was Abe that I met at the hospital when my father was admitted there one time. Him and his boys will find the right tire for your car and have it installed proplerly. My parents have been coming here for years and years now. Their last set of tires was Kumho tires for the summer. They also do regular mechanical repairs I believe and sell wheels. OK tires carries Toyo Tires, Kumho, General Tires a few other brands to fit your car or trucks needs. read more

Came in to the shop today. Was my second visit with 2 trucks in 3 months. I have been looking for a reliable local mechanic and thought I'd try the longest lasting that I was aware of the first shot. (What a mistake, twice.) Today on my visit I was hoping to schedule an appointment and possibly get a quote for a new exhaust. After standing in the front for about 10 minutes a older gentleman came out. And quikly asked what I needed. I explained I was hoping to talk about a exhaust as he ushered me out the door beside him. We walked to my truck which he looked at for about a minute while in stood there. After that he began to say how they are real busy and the exhaust guy was helping another mechanic because that mechanic screwed up. With that said I asked if there was a time he could look at it later. The fellows response was simply NO as he walked away. Baffled as it was my understand this older fellow was a good church going god fearing man (listen to the local radio, there will be a 30 second sermon brought to you by Abe at O.K tire regularly.) I had thought I nearly went to the wrong shop. With that said I left, astonished by whatever had just happened. I later called when I had my thoughts back, thinking maybe I said or asked something wrong. I spoke with a Ryan or Bryan. When I explained the situation and said I was hoping to resolve it and schedule an appointment to keep my money local and hopefully establish a relationship. He replied with 'yeah, or you could just be patient '. -Patient for them to decide it was an acceptable time for me to schedule an appointment? This was my second visit with 2 vehicles. Neither of which were new or anywhere near. Neither time would old honest Abe look at them or give an estimate. One time he in fact told me to take a look around the yard or 'buy a new one' if I wanted anything worth them considering. ....all I wanted was a exhaust bent up from an exhaust shop... I also needed a alignment and new shocks and brakes. Along with a plethora of other work. Guess I'll pay someone else to do that as well.. read more

I had a flat tire near Midway with no hope of repair, so I was driving on the spare donut (right, front tire) to Grand Forks to have the tire replaced. I first took the car to KAL Tire because I had originally bought the tire through them. The not-so-friendly rep said I would have to wait three hours to have the tire replaced. I asked if there was any way to have the work done sooner because I was working on a business work schedule, and I had traveled from Kaslo to have the work completed by the scheduled time. The KAL Tire rep said no way. Not to be too critical, but I have all my tire work done at KAL Tire in Nakusp - they would find a way to accommodate me, and they would do it with a smile their face. My business associate said forget KAL Tire in GF, let's go to OK Tire and they will do the work immediately. The associate has all his tire work done at OK Tire - lot's of it too - he owns a tree planting company, and they operate over a dozen 4x4's. Anyways, I pull up to OK Tire, the rep, he gives me a price, and it includes a discount - the numbers look good, so they immediately get to work, have the job done in twenty minutes, and I'm back on the road. That's what I call service, and thank you - you saved me hundreds of dollars by not having re-schedule meetings, etc. I recommend OK Tire in Grand Forks to everyone! read more

A great shop with a family-like atmosphere. My pickup had the check engine light come on while on a huge road trip, and I was worried we'd be stuck. Abe could have charged us a bunch of money to read the error code, but was able to tell me it was a problem with the fuel level sensor, and we'd be fine to carry on. He gave me really good advice without charging me for something he could easily have justified doing. That is great, honest service! read more
