Tires Plus Total Car Care, Sarasota

Since opening their first auto shop back in 1972, the staff and crew of University Tires Plus have worked closely with customers to outfit their vehicles with quality tires from the likes of Bridgestone and Goodyear. Now, with more than 500 stores spanning 23 states, they also service brakes, accomplish tune-ups, and fix heating and cooling systems. Battery problems and damage caused by potholes or driving through thumbtack stores don't befuddle them, either, with much of their work and tire sales backed by warranties.
