History

Established in 1982.

Ray’s Tire & Service, Inc. was established in 1982. Raymond Usher was the original founder & owner. Ray was a former 20 year employee of the Goodyear Tire company and managed its first store in St. Augustine, located at 236 West King Street. In 1969 Goodyear opened a new store to facilitate the growth of St. Augustine at 149 King Street. Goodyear closed the original smaller location and moved Ray to manage their new store.

In 1982, after a successful 20-​year career with Goodyear, Ray Usher opened his own Goodyear franchise store at its current location at 1375 US 1 South. Now known as Ray’s Tire and Service Centers Inc., this family owned third-​generation business carries on the tradition of outstanding service at a fair and honest price. Ray Usher & his wife Merial retired from the family business in October of 2003. Current owners Dean & Susan Petty carry on the family tradition of Ray’s Tire & Service along with their son Jacob Petty (Ray’s Grandson).
