Frequently asked
Real questions Worcester drivers ask at the counter. We add to this list when something new comes up.
How long does a tire install take at Kayuco?
Most four-tire installs are out the door in under an hour. We mount, balance, install valve stems, and dispose of your old tires in that hour. If we are slammed on a Saturday, we will tell you the wait time before we start.
What tire brands do you carry?
Twenty-three tire brands. Pirelli, Yokohama, Toyo, Falken, Kenda, Firestone, General, Hankook, Nokian, Carlisle, Crosswind, Primewell, Nitto, Kumho, Continental, Venom-Power, Bridgestone, Fuzion, Mickey-Thompson, GT-Radial, Nexen, Lexani, and Laufenn.
How much does it cost to install one tire?
Sixty-seven dollars per tire installed. That includes mounting, balancing, a new rubber valve stem, and tire disposal. No upsells.
Can I finance tires with bad credit at Kayuco?
Yes. We work with two lenders, Acima and Snap Finance. Both approve customers without prime credit. You apply on your phone in the shop and you usually have an answer in a few minutes. You take the tires home the same visit.
Do you sell used tires?
Yes. We carry inspected used tires starting at forty dollars. A used tire is a real option, not an apology. We tell you when used is the right call and when it is not.
Do you tow at night? On weekends?
We tow during shop hours: Monday through Friday 9 to 6, Saturday 8 to 3. After hours, call us in the morning and we will come get you. If you cannot wait that long, call a 24-hour service.
What is the service area for Kayuco towing?
Worcester and the surrounding local area. Our home base is 715 Millbury Street in Worcester. Call (978) 701-2069 with your location and we will tell you whether we can reach you.
Is Kayuco ASE certified?
Yes. We have ASE-certified technicians on staff. ASE certification means independent verification that our mechanics know how to fix your car correctly.
Can I get my tires installed and an oil change at the same time?
Yes. While we have the car up for new tires, we can do an oil change, brake check, alignment, or other repairs you need. One trip, one shop, one bill.
Where are you and what are your hours?
Seven hundred fifteen Millbury Street, Worcester MA 01607. Monday through Friday nine to six. Saturday eight to three. Sunday closed. Phone (978) 701-2069.
Do you speak Spanish at the shop?
Yes. Our staff is bilingual in English and Spanish. You can call, message us, or walk in speaking either language. We use 'gomas' most of the time because that is how the Worcester community speaks.
How long has Kayuco been in business?
Since 2009. Founded by Gilberto Ledesma on Chandler Street, then relocated to 715 Millbury Street after a zoning fight. Same family, same shop.
Can I make an appointment, or do I have to walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome. Calling ahead helps us pull your tire size before you arrive. Call (978) 701-2069 or send us your vehicle make and model through the contact form.
Do you do brake repair? Alignment?
Yes to both. Brakes, alignment, oil changes, suspension, exhaust, diagnostics, TPMS reset, engine work, and general mechanical work. ASE-certified mechanics do the work.
