Walker Tire & Auto Service

Description

Walker Tire's first Omaha location on Railroad Avenue. 1951. It was the year I Love Lucy premiered on CBS. Bread was 16 cents a loaf and a postage stamp cost less than a nickel. It was also the year Walker Tire began in Lincoln, Nebraska. This flagship location is still in business at 9th & M Streets. Back in those days out here in the middle part of America, it was just expected that you’d get good value for your dollar. People just didn’t take too kindly to being cheated, and businesses that didn’t treat you right didn’t last too long. It’s just the way it was. It was a slower time. A more honorable time. A time when you could figure if you needed to buy tires, the guy behind the counter would give you good advice and sell you what you needed. A time when you could figure if you took your car in to be fixed, it would be fixed right. Period. As Walker Tire expanded, a new store was opened at 89th & L in Omaha in 1964. Times have changed. Oh sure, we still love Lucy. We always will. But bread? We’re more concerned about its fiber content and whether or not it’s made with whole grains than we are with price. And as for stamps, some of us send so many emails that we can’t remember the last time we bought postage stamps At the 9th & M store in Lincoln, a Walker Tire service technician puts tubes and flaps in truck tires in the early 1970's. Walker has changed, too. We’ve added more products and services. We’ve added more locations. And just recently we’ve become the ONLY licensed Woman-Centric Matterssm tire and auto center in Nebraska (the first one in America!). But one thing never has changed at Walker Tire and Auto Service. And it never will. That one thing is our commitment to the same wholesome, honest values Walker started out with in 1951. Those values were important then, and they’re just as important now. Old fashioned? Maybe. But we’re proud of the fact that at Walker Tire and Auto Service we can look you in the eye and know we always do our best for you. Newly remodeled in 2007, the 89th & L store in Omaha became the 1st licensed Woman-Centric Tire & Auto Center in America.
