The company, which offers a wide range of new and retreaded tyres for sale for all vehicles, provides a wide range of services including wheel alignment and balancing, front-end inspection, tyre repairs and vehicle washing.
Founded in 2001, the company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC), the bus franchise holder in the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region (KMTR).
