About Dial a Tire Halifax
A Legacy of Service, Built from the Ground Up
Welcome to Dial A Tire – your trusted partner in automotive care in Halifax for over three decades.
For over 30 years, Dial A Tire has proudly served the Halifax community with reliable, honest, and high-quality automotive services. Whether it’s tires, repairs, or routine maintenance, we bring decades of hands-on experience and customer care to every job. As a local, family-run business, we treat every car like it’s our own—delivering trusted service at competitive prices.
Dial A Tire began over 30 years ago with a man named Dave Macdonald, a passionate mechanic with a toolbox, a single service truck, and a big dream.
In the early days, Dave operated a fully mobile auto service—driving across Halifax to change tires, perform emergency repairs, and help drivers in need right at their location. His honesty, technical skills, and dedication to doing the job right quickly earned him a loyal following.
As word spread, what began as a solo operation on wheels evolved into a full-fledged garage on Herring Cove Road. Over the years, Dial A Tire has grown to serve thousands of customers—but it has never lost the small-business charm, friendly service, or hands-on quality that started it all.
Today, Dave’s legacy lives on in every repair, every customer interaction, and every tire installed. We continue to serve multiple generations of customers who trust us with their vehicles—and we don’t take that trust lightly.
At Dial A Tire, our mission is to provide honest, affordable, and high-quality automotive care backed by real relationships and community values.
We aim to be more than just a service provider—we want to be your go-to team for all your vehicle needs. Our experienced technicians don’t just fix cars; they build long-term trust by explaining problems clearly, offering fair prices, and doing what’s best for you and your vehicle.
We strive to:
Keep every vehicle safe, reliable, and road-ready
Offer transparent, no-pressure service and honest advice
Uphold the values of integrity, reliability, and personal care
