Derek also completed a Ford Master Technician training program and earned academic honors along the way. When he opened KIR Tire in Newtown Square in summer 2026, the goal was simple: bring that level of training and hands-on care to a locally owned shop that passenger-vehicle owners in this area could rely on. The name says it all. Keep It Rolling.

Common Questions About KIR Tire
Tire and Auto Service FAQs for Newtown Square, PA
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Appointments are the preferred way to visit KIR Tire. You can book directly online through our Shopmonkey scheduler, which is the most direct path to securing your time slot. You can also call or text and we will get you set up manually. Walk-in availability depends on the schedule that day, so reaching out ahead of time helps ensure we are ready for your vehicle when you arrive.Do you carry both new and used tires for passenger vehicles?
Yes, KIR Tire offers both new and used tires for passenger vehicles. Our new tire selection covers a range of options based on your vehicle and driving needs. For used tires, we aim to stock higher-tier brands such as Michelin, Continental, Hankook, Bridgestone, and Pirelli, though inventory changes regularly. Because availability varies by size and brand, it is a good idea to confirm what we have on hand before your visit rather than assuming a specific tire will be in stock.What is the difference between an internal tire patch and an exterior plug?
An internal patch is applied after the tire is fully dismounted from the wheel. The technician can inspect the inside of the tire, clean the puncture area properly, and apply a patch from within, which creates a more thorough and durable repair. An exterior plug is inserted from the outside without removing the tire, which is faster but generally considered less reliable for a long-term fix. At KIR Tire, we use the internal patch approach for puncture repairs. Not every puncture can be repaired regardless of method, and we will give you an honest assessment after inspecting the tire.What does TPMS service involve, and when might I need it?
TPMS stands for tire pressure monitoring system. The sensors are typically located in the valve-stem area of each wheel and communicate tire pressure information to your vehicle's dashboard. If your TPMS warning light comes on, it could mean a sensor needs programming, replacement, or that tire pressure itself is the issue. Sensor service often requires removing the tire to access the sensor properly, which is why it can make sense to address TPMS needs when tires are already being serviced.What does your oil change service include beyond draining and refilling the oil?
Our oil and filter service uses quality products including Mobil 1 and Castrol, depending on what is appropriate for your vehicle. Beyond the oil and filter swap, we lubricate necessary components and clean up covers and fasteners to prevent residual oil buildup. That cleanup step is something many quick-service shops skip, but it reflects the kind of attention to detail we bring to every job.What routine maintenance services does KIR Tire handle?
We cover a practical range of everyday maintenance for passenger vehicles. That includes oil and filter service, brake pads, rotors, and calipers, suspension work, spark plug replacement, air and cabin filter replacement, and lighting including headlights and bulbs. Brake parts are ordered specifically for your vehicle rather than pulled from general shelf stock, which helps ensure the right fit. Services recommended will be based on what your specific vehicle actually needs.What areas near Newtown Square do you serve?

To lock in a specific time, you can either book through the online scheduler or ask us to enter the appointment manually during your call or text exchange.
