Balswick's Tire was started by Orville Balswick in the 1940s. In 1976, his son, Jerry Balswick took over the operation. During 1988, the business moved into its present location on Golden State Blvd. in downtown Turlock, adjacent to Prime Shine Express Car Wash.
In 1998, we added Countryside Tire & Brake, our second location in Turlock. It sits on the corner of Countryside Dr. and Fulkerth Ave. (behind the Arco gas station). It's in the same shopping center as Wal-Mart, Staples, Food-Maxx, J.C. Penney's, and a number of good eating establishments, so drop your car off and get some shopping done at the same time!
Currently Jerry's sons and son-in-law, Bret Balswick, Bart
Balswick, and Paul Langley, keep the business running day-to-
day. Bret heads up the sales at this downtown location, while
Bart works at our second location on Countryside Drive. Paul
oversees the finances and operations for both locations.
Next to each of these shops is the Ten Minute Lube 'n Oil. Here
we change oil, perform transmission and radiator services, 
replace air and fuel filters, and more!
See us for any of your car maintenance or
repair needs... we are your one-stop shop!

"Hi, my name is Bryan. You may recognize me from the TV
commercials I have been in for the 10 Minute Lube 'n Oil. I always
end them with 'COME ON IN, WHAT ARE YOU WAITIN' FOR!!??' I'm
still working at the Lube, but I'm also here to take care of all your
tire, brake, and front-end needs. In fact, I was recently named
General Manager of operations, and I want to make sure that you 're
taken good care of when you visit us. Mention you saw me here on this website and I'll give you $5.00 off your next full service oil change! COME ON IN, WHAT ARE YOU WAITIN' FOR?!?"

Hi, I'm Bret! I've worked here as long as I can remember! Even while I was still in high school, I'd come down here to help out my dad (Jerry) any way I could. Now that I run the Golden State location, he expects me to be here every day! Actually, I really enjoy helping people with their tire needs, so give me a call! Whether you're needing a tire for your wheelbarrow, roto-tiller, trailer, a big tractor, or anything in between, I can help you! We even have five mobile service trucks to assist our farmers and dairymen with their big tire needs!
