Kicking off a new business can be a bit challenging, but for Stafford Tire & Auto, it’s on a roll.

Owner Dan Arnold has years of experience, having owned Dan’s Garden Auto Techs on LBI until April of this year, when he decided to make the jump to the mainland.

“The opportunity to move my shop to a place that didn’t flood with every rain storm was too good to pass up,” he said. “Luckily, many of my customers have followed me.”

Stafford Tire & Auto is located at 817 North Main St. (Route 9) at the former SBR Tire location.
