The Valdosta Chamber and program sponsor, CCB Tech Group named Fussell Tire and Service, located at 1775 Westside Way, the Leading Business of the Week.

Fussell Tire and Service is a locally owned tire business that services retail customers and other companies in the area. Their services include routine vehicle maintenance, 24/7 roadside service, and commercial tire sales.

Since opening in 2013, Fussell Tire and Service has outgrown its original facility and moved into a larger one that allowed them to install more bays and specialty equipment. Along with moving, they also added a tire warehouse that increases the amount of inventory they can keep on hand.

One of the most unique things Fussell Tire and Service does is its customer appreciation events that take place every 2 years. Kailey Starling, Office Manager, says “we will have 100s of classic show cars, a local Jeep club, and monster trucks for viewing.” Local food trucks and bands are in attendance and there are activities for kids.

The biggest attraction at this event is the burnout competition. “We have all of the participants from a line and have one burnout after the other. At the end of the event our judges will hand out trophies,” Starling says.

Being involved in the community is important to Fussell Tire and Service but they also take pride in being involved with their employees. “Being as we are a small business; we have appreciated the opportunity to get to know our employees and learn what is important to them in their lives. With this knowledge and the flexibility of our business, we have been happy to cultivate an environment where employees can maintain work/life balance,” Starling says.

In March of 2023, Fussell Tire and Service will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary.
