A flash free tire giveaway is saying ‘good-bye’ in a way to the community, today, June 19.
Bee Jay Auto Wrecking & Towing closed early in June, and the auto wrecking portion of its business. The owners are letting the Williams Lake community take as many of the tires from their yard as they can for free.
“Ken and I decided it would be a good thing to do for our customers who we’ve had over the years,” says Tiki Preeper. Preeper’s husband, Ken, has owned the Auto Wrecking & Towing shop for over 30 years in Williams Lake.
“It’s good for the environment, and it’s good for kids who are just starting out and need a set of winter tires.”
The wife and husband duo officially closed the shop as they prepare for retirement.
Preeper thanks all of their customers they have met over the years, and they were happy to be a part of the Williams Lake community.
The tires are free to anyone who goes and picks them up. Customers will have to know their tire measurements and match the tires themselves.
Preeper says since opening this morning, she has already given away more than 40 tires, and plans to continue the giveaway until they are all gone.
While the Auto Wrecking part of the business is saying adieu, Preeper assures the community that the towing aspect “is staying and still going strong”.
