“After 41 years in business, I am so pleased to be finally opening a location in Medway, where my children spent time growing up,” said Direct Tire founder and CEO Barry Steinberg. “Our last store opening was 18 years ago, so you could surmise I’m choosy when it comes to new locations. We have been waiting for the perfect site, and I’m grateful this opportunity opened up in Medway, a wonderful community.”

The new store is built next to an Advance Auto Parts store (no affiliation), and is designed with environmentally sound materials, including concrete Hardie siding, heating thru recycled motor oil, and lush landscaping.
