Whether you are a seasoned boater or a fist time cruiser, Western Tire and Auto can help with all your boating needs including do-it-yourself parts, tools, accessories and advice. With access to six different vendors, they are certain to find exactly what you need or help you if you are not sure. They can ask the right questions to suggest just the right part so you can be in, out and back on the water enjoying your boat.

“We can help, give advice and provide parts for boats from one end to the other,” says Kevin Bard, who heads up their marine team and has been with the company for over a decade. Their team of marine experts has extensive knowledge and experience in all things boating, mainly because they are boaters themselves. “Everyone here is involved with boating in one way or another,” says Kevin.

Started in 1997 and locally-owned by Doby Middleton and Maurice Sanger, this family-run business is dedicated to customer satisfaction and fast, friendly service. Their marine department offers a full line of major brand boat products including batteries and paint and trailer products including tires, rollers, lights and hitches. They also can perform trailer repairs and inspections.

New this year, Western Tire and Auto added a service for customers to obtain the necessary boat permits for both Queen Anne’s and Talbot Counties. They also have maps of all of the area ramp locations, helping you find just the right location for your boat.

Western Tire and Auto will be at the Bay Bridge Boat Show April 19-21st. Stop by, meet the team and get special boat show pricing on marine products. Open seven days a week, you can visit the store at 1406 Main Street in Stevensville or call 410-643-5572. They are also on the web on Facebook and at www.westerntireandauto.com.
