Jenks Tire Co
WELCOME ! Jenks Tire Company is a quaint tire shop located in downtown Bakersfield. Its beginnings took root in 1923 at a wrecking yard in Salt Lake City(Utah), with a fifteen year old boy repairing wooden spoke wheels(common on automobiles at that time). It wasn't long before this young man was involved in recapping --a newly developing industry in which rubber is vulcanized onto a worn out tire to create a new tread. In 1952 Joe Jenks opened his own tire recapping shop in Bakersfield, and moved it to its present location in 1958. Although the old retreading molds and other tire equipment aren't used anymore, his son Jeff has preserved some of the historic artifacts in a nineteen twenties era tire shop replica. If you need tires mounted on your old vintage vehicle, or late model car...

Hidden secret of down town Mr jenks has been in business so long I think I have heard him say one time how long and was blown away but it has to be over 20years now anyways he is the most kind straight forward good ok boys you'll ever meet and if he doesn't have it or can't do it the best he will tell you who is and where to find them he is kind to the homeless down town and in turn the community respects his establishment very much.
This place is the best, Jeff is as solid as they come.
