Lee's Tire Service employee Dan Cummings wheels tires to be replaced on a customer's car in Brunswick.
Cummings places a tire and rim on a Coats Tire Changer while working on a customer's vehicle. "That machine has been around since Christ was a baby," employee Todd Hastings said.
Lee's Tire Service employee Todd Hastings said Lee's services anywhere between 30-50 vehicles daily for tires during the peak season before winter starts, and said he'd rather work without a lunch break some days, to keep a quick pace throughout the day, working on customer's cars. "I hate to brag, but I think (Lee's Tire Service coworker) Chris and I are some of the fastest tire changers on the east coast," Hastings said.
Hastings inspects a car's undercarriage and tires. Hastings has been working for Lee's for four years and said he thinks customers are buying winter tires earlier than they have in years past because of the early November snowfall. "I think it's a good thing so people are more prepared," Hastings said.

A sign claims there is "Happy tire service" at Lee's.
