01
Honesty
Give people a straightforward explanation of what is happening and what their realistic options are.
Local Shop • Local People • Local CommunityMore than just
More than just
a tire shop.
Get A Grip is built around the idea that automotive service should feel straightforward, respectful, and human. People should be able to ask questions, understand their options, and feel comfortable with the people working on their vehicle.
How We Want People To Feel
Comfortable asking questions. Confident in the answer.
Taking care of a vehicle can be stressful — especially when you do not know exactly what is wrong or how much a repair should cost. Get A Grip's strength is the way the team treats people: friendly, approachable, positive, and willing to explain what is going on.
The goal is not to pressure someone into more work. It is to help them understand the problem, talk through practical options, and earn the kind of trust that brings people back.
Whether someone comes in for an affordable used tire, a mechanical issue, or a lift-kit project, the same principle applies: treat people honestly and take care of the person behind the vehicle.
What Matters Here
The kind of shop people recommend to someone they care about.
02
Kindness
Vehicle problems can make a bad day worse. A little patience, respect, and a helpful attitude matter.
03
Trust
Build relationships that last beyond one tire, one repair, or one visit to the shop.

Community is part of the job.
Being a local business means more than simply having a Tallahassee address. The people who come through the shop are neighbors, families, workers, students, friends, and other local business owners. Reliable transportation affects school, work, appointments, family responsibilities, and everyday life.
Get A Grip wants to be a positive part of that community: a place people can turn to for practical help, affordable options, and an honest conversation when something goes wrong with their vehicle.
Take care of the community that supports the shop.
Focus on useful options that make sense for the customer and the vehicle.
Talk to people like people — not like a sales target.

At the shop with George

I’m so grateful I found Get A Grip when I did. I’ve truly never experienced a more positive, welcoming shop environment or a more upbeat team. As a vehicle enthusiast myself, I still don’t have every tool or resource a fully operating shop has, and George and his team have become the people I trust when I need that support.
Thanks to Get A Grip, my goal of getting the 4Runner on 24x14s before No Dirt 4 became a reality — and we brought home another trophy with 2nd Best Female.
What stands out most is how they treat people. I’ve watched this team show the same patience, kindness, and respect to women, men, families, students, younger customers, and older customers. I truly couldn’t ask for a better sponsor or a better place to trust with my vehicle.

Students Away From Home
Your trusted mechanic might be hours away. You still deserve a shop you feel comfortable calling.
Tallahassee is home to students from FSU, FAMU, TCC and surrounding schools who may be handling vehicle problems without a parent, family member, or hometown mechanic nearby. A flat tire, strange noise, or unexpected repair can feel especially overwhelming when you are dealing with it on your own.
Get A Grip aims to be the kind of local shop where students can ask questions, understand their options, and get straightforward guidance without feeling talked down to or pressured. You do not have to know cars before you walk in the door.
Tires, Repairs & Builds
Helping people stay on the road — and make their vehicle their own.
Get A Grip is not limited to used tires. The shop handles full mechanical repair and maintenance, with body work being the main exception, and works closely with Rough Country products for lift and suspension upgrades. That mix lets the team help with everyday needs while also working with truck and SUV owners who want to change the way their vehicle sits, looks, or performs.
