By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

FLORIDA, Mass. — Crayons and markers in hand, fourth-grade pupils in Kimberly Wall's class at Abbott Memorial School brought to life the customer-focused service and reliability of Hometown Tire Works as part of our Junior Marketers Create an Ad series.
 
The premium tire service shop, located at 525 Ashland St. in North Adams, sells, services, and repairs a wide range of tires, with a focus on providing reliable performance and helping keep families safe on the road.
 
"The mission of Hometown Tire Works is complete customer care, putting people into safe vehicles that have safe tires on them without having to break their bank," said Kyla Davis, one of the owners.
 
When you walk into the shop you become part of the Hometown Tire family, owners Kyla and Matt Davis said. 
 
"Tire work is all I've ever known my whole life. Been doing it for 26 years, and the complete satisfaction of customer care and making sure that they're more of a family than they are a number is really why we wanted to do this," Matt said. 
 
Hometown Tire has access to almost every name-brand tire and offers next-day delivery if it's not already on the shelf, he said. 
 
One of the company's biggest selling points comes from its focus on customer education and tire repair services, Kyla said.
