Founded in 2009. Moved once. Still here.
I'm Gilberto Ledesma. I opened Kayuco Tires in 2009 on Chandler Street. Some years in, a zoning ruling pushed us off the block. We relocated to 715 Millbury Street, where we have been since. Same shop, same family, new address, and we just put a new sign on a new website.
This is the story I tell everyone who walks in for the first time. I started turning wrenches in the Dominican Republic before I came to Worcester. When I opened the shop I made one rule: tell the customer the truth, even when it costs us the sale. That rule still runs the place.
We do three things. Tires, new and used, mounted and balanced. Light-duty towing during shop hours when your car cannot drive in. And ASE-certified auto repair for everything from oil changes to engine work. The shop is small. The work is honest.
Most of our customers live within fifteen minutes of the shop. A lot of you have been coming in for ten years. Some of your kids are coming in now with their first cars. That is the part of this work I love the most.
Worcester is bilingual. Our shop has always been bilingual. If you want to talk gomas in Spanish, talk gomas in Spanish. The team works in both languages every day. Whoever picks up the phone speaks what you speak.
We launched this website so that everything we already do at the counter is also visible online. Pricing. Hours. Brands we stock. Financing options. Real photos of the shop and the team. The same shop, the same prices, just easier to find before you call.
What you will not find here: stock photos, hidden fees, or vague 'starting from' pricing. We tell you the out-the-door number before we touch a wrench. That has always been the deal.
If you're new to Kayuco, welcome. Stop by 715 Millbury Street. Bring questions. We will answer them the same way I answered them on day one back in 2009.
And if you have been with us for years, thank you. We will see you for the next set.
Call (978) 701-2069. We're open Monday to Friday 9 to 6 and Saturday 8 to 3.
