The history of Les Schwab Tire Centers began in January of 1952, when Les Schwab purchased a small OK Rubber Welders tire store in Prineville, Oregon. Today, we are one of the leading independent tire dealers in the United States with more than 7,000 employees & 400 store locations throughout the Western United States.

The base of our corporate operations remains in Central Oregon, where we operate one of the largest tire retreading plants in the country, and own a distribution center in Prineville that is more than 2,000,000 square feet.

Our success has been made possible by our wonderful customers, and by valuing the unique contributions and hard work of our employees. We are proud to feature Neat Clean Stores, Supermarket Selection, Sudden Service, Convenient Credit and Warranties in Writing.

Pride in Performance is the value that drives us at Les Schwab. We take pride in our customer service and pride in our employees. As a company we try to incorporate this belief into everything we do. Our company goals are to continue to provide the legendary Les Schwab level of customer service, to be original and innovative, and to stay independent.

You want to create that special look, the look that sets your vehicle apart from the rest, you've come to the right place! Your Les Schwab Tire Centers are proud to offer Performance Suspension Lowering solutions for our customers.

We know the importance of having good shocks and struts. That is why we offer a variety to choose from. Worn shocks and struts can cause uneven tire wear, damage suspension components, and also cause abnormal drift, sway, and bounce to your vehicle.

Be sure to stop in your local Les Schwab Tire Center to see if your shocks are up to par.

Be sure to check out the Shocks & Struts videos on the left to learn more about our shock installation and what to look for if you think your vehicle needs shocks or struts.
